About me
I graduated from the University of Madras in 1993 and completed my MD in Dermatology in 1996. Subsequently I moved to the UK, where I obtained the MRCP and completed specialist training in dermatology through the Mersey rotation, earning the Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training (CCST).
In 2004, I was appointed as a substantive Consultant in the Countess of Chester hospital. I moved to North Wales in 2008 to further my skills in hill walking! Since 2005, I have co-led monthly multidisciplinary Dermatology/Oral Medicine clinics at the Royal Liverpool Dental Hospital, alongside Prof Field and Dr Rajlawat.
My interests include the oral manifestations of dermatological disease, history of dermatology, tropical skin diseases, skin of colour dermatoses, paediatric dermatology and dermatological surgery.
I have authored 79 publications in peer-reviewed journals and contributed chapters in two textbooks. In 2025, I published Fast Facts: Dermatoses in skin of color in collaboration with my father and son. With the Historical subcommittee on the British Association of Dermatologists, I co-authored Biographical history of British Dermatology.
In recognition of my academic contributions, I was conferred the title of Honorary Professor by my alma mater, the University of Madras, in 2009 and currently serve as a Visiting Professor at the Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai.
My interests include gardening (especially growing my own veggies and fruits in summer), reading non-fiction books and Tintin comics, and travelling. I co-host a YouTube channel with my father - Discover Dermatology - where we explore a range of skin-related topics for a broader audience.
