Read the skin
before you treat it.

Skin is slow. Acne, pigmentation, psoriasis, vitiligo — none of these resolve in a single visit. The dermoscopy on day one, the prescription that follows, the WhatsApp check-in three weeks later: same eyes, same standards. Continuity is the medicine.

Eight years of clinical medicine before specialization. Three and a half years of dermatology training at Dow University of Health Sciences and Civil Hospital Karachi — Pakistan's busiest public dermatology service. Then the College of Physicians and Surgeons' fellowship exam. The rigorous one.

02 — The Specialties

Four disciplines.
One pair of hands.

03 — The Results

Before. After.

04 — The Method

A clean, unhurried
way of seeing patients.

  1. i.

    Tell me what's wrong

    WhatsApp or call. A short message about what you're noticing — flare-ups, recent skincare, photos if helpful — gets us started.

  2. ii.

    Examined in person

    You're seen at Fatima Dental & Skin, Garden Road. OPD runs Mon–Sat, 6–9 PM. Full history, dermoscopy, Wood's lamp where indicated. Same-day biopsy if needed.

  3. iii.

    A plan in plain language

    Written. Itemised. Pakistani-pharmacy realistic. You leave knowing what's prescribed, why, and how long it takes to work.

  4. iv.

    Followed through

    Skin healing isn't a one-visit job. Course corrections happen on WhatsApp at no extra fee. We see this through.

I don't believe in shortcuts. The skin doesn't reward them — and patients can always tell the difference between a plan that was thought through and one that wasn't.
