At G Square Clinic, located in Hubli, we treat a variety of skin tumors, but once in a while, a case comes along that presents an unusual challenge.
Recently, we encountered a 74-year-old male with a slow-growing, painless lesion on the top of his foot — a rare presentation of keratoacanthoma, a skin tumor that closely resembles squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Recently, we treated a serious case of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)—a severe, life-threatening skin reaction caused by certain medications. The patient, a 70-year-old man, had taken a painkiller from a pharmacy without consulting a doctor or having a valid prescription.
Within a day of consuming the tablet, he developed a sudden and severe drug rash with extensive skin peeling and blisters all over his body—a classic sign of TEN. This is considered a dermatological emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
Hair loss, especially in the form of Androgenic Alopecia (AGA)—commonly known as male-pattern baldness—is a growing concern for many men across India, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas like Hubli, North Karnataka. With rising awareness and access to advanced dermatological care, more individuals are now seeking professional help rather than relying on over-the-counter solutions.
Acne scars can be frustrating and impact your confidence. But with the right treatment, they can be significantly reduced.
