On today’s episode of Sarva Kaahi, we have with us Dr. Vidya Kharkar, a seasoned dermatologist from KEM Hospital and GS Medical College talking about common skin and hair care issues. We discussed the dangers of using unverified skin-lightening creams, as many contain steroids or mercury, which can lead to serious health risks, such as kidney damage and skin thinning.
Dr. Kharkar addresses adolescent and adult acne, explaining its hormonal origins and how excessive oil production clogs pores, leading to inflammation. She cautions against using home remedies like toothpaste or cold cream for acne, as they can worsen the condition. For stubborn cases, she recommends consulting a dermatologist rather than relying on untested solutions.
Pigmentation issues, particularly under-eye dark circles and melasma, are linked to factors like sun exposure, blue light from screens, lifestyle habits, and genetics. Dr. Kharkar advises regular use of sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and mentions that blue light can intensify pigmentation, even indoors. Additionally, she explains that internal factors, including a diet rich in antioxidants (e.g., carrots and tomatoes), can help protect skin.
Hair loss is also explored, with causes ranging from genetics to external factors like harsh styling or conditions like PCOS. She emphasizes gentle hair care practices, adequate nutrition, and treatment options for those with chronic hair loss.
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Kharkar stresses the importance of customized treatments under medical supervision and highlights the value of patience in seeing results from skin care regimens. This episode is the first part of the conversation, with the next focusing on specific skin conditions and in-depth treatments. For more amazing podcasts on varied topics, subscribe to Sarva Kaahi.
