Who Is This For?
Medical dermatology at SKIN@Mantraa is for any patient with a skin condition that has not responded adequately to self-care or over-the-counter treatments. This includes vitiligo (any stage, any age), psoriasis (plaque, scalp, or nail), eczema and atopic dermatitis, melasma, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, fungal skin infections, urticaria, and other inflammatory or chronic skin diseases.
Vitiligo phototherapy (NB-UVB) is available for patients with non-segmental vitiligo. It is appropriate for adults and children above 5 years. Patients with extreme photosensitivity, a history of skin cancers, or lupus require special assessment before phototherapy is started. Results are best in patients who begin treatment within 2–3 years of onset.
For psoriasis and eczema, suitable candidates include patients who have had inadequate response to topical steroids or standard over-the-counter management and require a dermatologist-designed protocol. Systemic treatment (methotrexate, acitretin) is initiated only when clinically appropriate and requires regular blood monitoring - Dr. Bhura uses many steroid-sparing and non-systemic strategies as long as possible before escalating.

What to Expect
Vitiligo: Repigmentation becomes visible after 3–6 months of consistent NB-UVB phototherapy; 60–70% of patients see meaningful repigmentation after completing a full course. Psoriasis: Most patients achieve 50–75% reduction in plaque area after 8–12 weeks of consistent treatment. Eczema: Flares are typically controlled within 2–4 weeks; maintenance therapy prevents recurrence. Melasma: Visible lightening after 6–8 weeks; ongoing SPF 50+ PA+++ maintenance is essential to prevent recurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is vitiligo curable?
Vitiligo cannot be permanently cured, but it can be effectively stabilised and repigmented in most cases. NB-UVB phototherapy combined with topical steroids or tacrolimus produces repigmentation in a significant proportion of patients. The earlier treatment begins, the better the response.
How is psoriasis managed at SKIN@Mantraa?
Psoriasis management depends on severity. Mild-to-moderate cases are managed with topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and coal tar preparations. Moderate-to-severe cases may need phototherapy (NB-UVB) or systemic therapy (methotrexate, acitretin). Dr. Bhura uses many steroid-sparing agents for long-term safety in chronic management.
What treatments are available for vitiligo phototherapy in Kanpur?
SKIN@Mantraa offers Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy for vitiligo - the most evidence-supported treatment for non-segmental vitiligo. Treatment is typically 2 to 3 sessions per week. Repigmentation becomes visible after 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment. Phototherapy is combined with topical agents for best results.
Can eczema be treated permanently?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic condition that cannot be permanently cured, but it can be very effectively managed. Treatment involves identifying and avoiding triggers, appropriate topical therapy (corticosteroids, tacrolimus), moisturisation protocols, and treating secondary infections. Most patients achieve long periods of remission with consistent management.
Is melasma a skin condition or a cosmetic concern?
Melasma is a genuine dermatological condition - not merely cosmetic. It is caused by melanocyte hyperactivation triggered by UV, hormones, and heat. It requires a structured, phased treatment approach: priming with depigmenting agents, then chemical peels or Q-switched laser, then maintenance with SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen. Without treatment, it persists and worsens.
