Dermatologist in Pokhara
Specialist skin care for acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, hair loss and pigmentation — diagnosed and treated by consultant dermatologists at A&B International Hospital.
Introduction
Skin problems are easy to dismiss — until they aren’t. Persistent acne, recurring rashes, sudden hair loss or unexplained pigmentation often have specific medical causes that need a specialist eye to identify and treat properly.
At A&B International Hospital, our dermatologists offer evidence-based treatment for medical, paediatric and aesthetic dermatology. We focus on accurate diagnosis first — and treatments that actually work — rather than long courses of generic creams.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to clear acne?
Most acne regimens show clear improvement at 6–8 weeks and significant clearing at 12–16 weeks. Severe acne may need oral medication for 4–6 months. We set realistic expectations at the first visit.
Is hair loss reversible?
It depends on the cause. Telogen effluvium and many medical hair-loss patterns are reversible with the right treatment. Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) can be slowed and partially reversed but needs ongoing therapy.
Do you do skin biopsies in the clinic?
Yes. Punch and excisional biopsies are done under local anaesthetic in clinic — usually painless and takes 10–20 minutes. Pathology reports return within 3–5 days.
Can children see the dermatologist?
Yes. We treat paediatric eczema, infantile haemangiomas, viral skin infections and birthmarks — with age-appropriate treatments.
Do you offer cosmetic treatments?
Yes — chemical peels, scar treatments and pigmentation procedures alongside medical care. We do not offer treatments without a clear medical or cosmetic indication.
What Our Patients Say
“Three years of acne, three different doctors, three creams that did nothing. The dermatologist here put me on the right combination — clear in four months.”
“My daughter’s eczema used to flare every two weeks. Proper treatment plan, written instructions — no flares for six months now.”
“Caught a suspicious mole early with a biopsy. Turned out to be borderline — removed completely. Probably saved me a lot of trouble.”
Service Coverage in Pokhara
We serve patients from across Pokhara and surrounding areas:
Skin Disease Is Medical, Not Cosmetic
Persistent skin, hair and nail problems are medical conditions with specific causes — not something to mask indefinitely with whatever cream is available over the counter. Acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infection, hair loss and pigmentation each follow recognisable patterns and respond to targeted treatment once correctly diagnosed. The reason long courses of generic creams so often fail is simple: the wrong diagnosis leads to the wrong treatment.
A dermatologist’s value is accurate pattern recognition, supported where needed by dermatoscopy or biopsy, so treatment is specific from the start.
Why Treatment Takes Time — and Why Consistency Matters
Skin turns over on a biological timetable that no treatment can rush. Acne regimens typically show clear improvement at six to eight weeks and substantial clearing at twelve to sixteen; chronic conditions are controlled rather than instantly cured. The most common reason treatment “does not work” is stopping early or applying it inconsistently. We set realistic timelines at the first visit so you know what success looks like and when.
When a Skin Lesion Needs Checking
Any mole or lesion that changes in size, shape or colour, bleeds, or simply looks different from the others deserves prompt assessment. Most are harmless, but early evaluation of the few that are not is one of the highest-value things dermatology does. Biopsies are quick, done under local anaesthetic in clinic, with pathology back in a few days.
Costs, Procedures and Insurance
Consultation and procedure rates are published openly. In-clinic biopsies and minor procedures are available with rapid pathology turnaround, and we work with most major insurers — ask us to clarify coverage before any procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until acne clears?
Clear improvement at 6–8 weeks, substantial clearing at 12–16; severe cases may need several months of oral treatment. Consistency is essential.
Is hair loss reversible?
It depends on the cause. Many medical hair-loss patterns are reversible; genetic hair loss can be slowed and partly improved with ongoing treatment.
Are skin biopsies painful?
They are done under local anaesthetic in clinic, usually painless, taking 10–20 minutes, with results in a few days.
Can children be seen?
Yes — paediatric eczema, infections and birthmarks are treated with age-appropriate care.
Do you offer cosmetic treatments?
Yes, alongside medical care, but only with a clear indication — not by default.

Why Skin Conditions Recur — and How to Break the Cycle
Many people cycle for years between brief improvement and relapse because the underlying condition is never correctly identified or fully treated. Eczema flares when triggers and barrier care are not addressed; fungal infections return when treatment courses are stopped early; acne rebounds when maintenance therapy is dropped the moment skin looks clear. Breaking the cycle means an accurate diagnosis, a complete treatment course, and a maintenance plan — not an endless rotation of creams that were never matched to the actual problem.
Daily Skin Care and Prevention
Good outcomes are part treatment, part daily habit. Sun protection is central to managing pigmentation and melasma and to preventing premature ageing and skin cancers. Gentle, fragrance-free cleansing and consistent moisturising protect the skin barrier in eczema-prone skin. Not sharing towels and keeping skin folds dry reduces fungal recurrence. We tailor this advice to Pokhara’s climate and to your specific condition rather than giving generic instructions.
Procedures, Cost and Insurance
Where a diagnosis is uncertain or a lesion looks suspicious, an in-clinic biopsy under local anaesthetic gives a definitive answer within a few days. Consultation and procedure prices are published openly, and most major insurers are accepted — confirm coverage before any procedure. We set realistic timelines at the first visit so you know what improvement to expect and when.
Further Questions
Why did my previous skin treatment stop working?
Usually because the treatment was stopped too early or never matched the true diagnosis. We confirm the diagnosis first, then treat fully with a maintenance plan.
Is sun protection really necessary in Pokhara?
Yes — daily sun protection is essential for pigmentation, melasma and long-term skin health, even on cloudy days.
When should a mole be checked?
Any mole that changes in size, shape or colour, bleeds, or looks different from the rest should be assessed promptly.
