 Antifungal resistance is often discussed in scientific journals and conferences as a pharmacological or microbiological problem. On the ground, however, especially in South Asian regions like Pakistan, the roots of this crisis lie far deeper. Poverty remains the single most powerful driver behind the increasing burden and resistance of tinea and other fungal skin infections. In low-income communities, overcrowding is a daily reality. Multiple family members often share small living spaces, clothing, towels, and bedding. This environment is ideal for the spread of dermatophyte infections. Add to this limited access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene facilities, and fungal infections become not just common, but persistent. Healthcare access is another critical factor. Poverty restricts timely consultation with qualified dermatologists. Many patients rely on over-the-counter medications, unregulated combination creams, or advice from non-medical sources. Inapprop...

 Understanding your skin type is one of the most important steps toward healthy skin and safe aesthetic treatments. In dermatology, the Fitzpatrick Skin Type system is widely used to classify skin based on how it reacts to sun exposure. This system helps predict the risk of sunburn, tanning, pigmentation disorders, and complications from procedures such as lasers and chemical peels. What Is The Fitzpatrick Skin Type System? The Fitzpatrick classification divides skin into six types, ranging from very fair to very dark. These skin types are based on genetic factors and how the skin responds to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Type I skin is very fair and always burns, never tans. Type II skin is fair and burns easily, tanning minimally. Type III skin is light brown or wheatish, may burn mildly, and tans gradually. Type IV skin is moderate brown, rarely burns, and tans easily. Type V skin is dark brown, almost never burns, and tans deeply. Type VI skin is very dark and never burns. Which ...

 Free medical camps are not charity events alone; they are strategic, ethical, and high-impact healthcare initiatives. In cities like Rawalpindi and Islamabad, where awareness about skin health and aesthetic medicine is growing but access remains uneven, free dermatology and aesthetics camps play a critical role. For clinics like SkinDot Clinics, these camps sit at the intersection of community service, preventive medicine, and sustainable clinic growth. Bridging The Access Gap Skin diseases are common, visible, and often ignored until they become severe. Many patients delay consultations due to cost concerns, misinformation, or lack of awareness. Free medical camps remove the first barrier: access. They allow people from surrounding areas to receive professional dermatology advice, basic diagnosis, and guidance without financial hesitation. This early touchpoint prevents complications and reduces long-term disease burden. Raising Awareness About Preventive Skin Care Dermatology is...

  Sitting too close to heaters feels comforting in Islamabad winters, but it can silently damage the skin. This chronic heat exposure can lead to a condition called erythema ab igne, also known as “toasted skin syndrome”. ## What is erythema ab igne? Erythema ab igne is a skin reaction caused by repeated exposure to moderate, non‑burning heat, usually over weeks to months. The affected area develops a net‑like (lacy) pattern of redness that can gradually turn brownish or violaceous. Over time, the skin may become dry, itchy, and mildly thinned, and in long‑standing cases there is a small but real risk of precancerous or cancerous change. ## Common everyday sources of heat In local practice, the most frequent cause is sitting very close to gas or electric heaters in winter, especially with legs or back just a few inches away. Other sources include hot water bottles and heating pads placed on the same spot daily, car seat warmers, and even keeping a laptop on the thighs for long peri...

 Winter brings cozy vibes, hot drinks, and crisp air—but it can be harsh on your skin. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry, flaky, and dull. At SkinDot Clinics, we believe every season is an opportunity to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected. Why Winter Affects Your Skin The skin’s natural barrier slows down in winter, making it prone to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Without proper care, issues like redness, rough patches, and premature aging can appear faster. Tips for Winter-Ready Skin Moisturize daily: Choose a rich, hydrating cream that locks in moisture. Gentle cleansing: Avoid harsh soaps; opt for mild, nourishing cleansers. Sun protection: UV rays are still present in winter—apply sunscreen daily. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Seasonal treatments: Professional treatments like hydrating facials can restore your skin’s glow. At SkinDot Clini...
