Tucked within the ancient rock-cut caves of Badami, Karnataka, lies one of the most fascinating sculptural masterpieces of Indian art – the image of Harihara, the composite deity that fuses the essence of Hari (Vishnu) and Hara (Shiva) into one harmonious form.
Your skin is more than just an outer covering — it can often signal what’s happening inside your body. One rare but important clue is Grey Turner’s sign: bruising on the flanks (the sides of your abdomen), which may indicate a serious internal condition.
At G Square Clinic for Skin, Hair and Plastic Surgery, every patient’s journey is unique. Today, we share the story of a 44-year-old gentleman who overcame disappointment after hair transplant results faded and regained his confidence through non-surgical treatment.
A middle-aged male patient visited G Square Skin & Aesthetics Clinic, Hubli, complaining of painful, burning red rashes over his chest, back, and limbs for over 6 weeks. Despite seeing multiple doctors and using conventional antihistamines, his symptoms persisted with minimal relief.
These skin rashes were raised, itchy, and left behind dark pigmentation, indicating a deeper inflammatory or vascular condition rather than typical urticaria (hives).
A 34-year-old male presented to our clinic with *dark, patchy pigmentation over his cheeks, forehead, and upper lip* for the last 2 years. The pigmentation gradually increased despite trying multiple over-the-counter creams and home remedies. Frustrated and self-conscious, the patient reported loss of confidence and discomfort in social settings.
He visited *Dr. Girishkumar M Chalawadi, Chief Dermatologist at G Square Skin & Aesthetics, Hubli*, seeking a safe, effective, and long-term solution.
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).
At G Square Skin, Hair & Plastic Surgery Clinic in Hubli, we are committed to delivering safe, evidence-based skincare solutions. Our clinic is a trusted destination for advanced skin treatments in North Karnataka, serving patients from Dharwad, Belgaum, Gadag, Bagalkot, and beyond.
One common concern we treat frequently is warts — a benign but often bothersome skin condition. Unfortunately, many patients attempt home remedies before consulting a qualified dermatologist, which can lead to serious skin damage.
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.
