    FAQ's

    Your initial consultation here will involve a thorough evaluation of your skin and a detailed discussion of your concerns and medical history. Our dermatologists may recommend diagnostic tests based on your case and create a personalised treatment plan.

    If you are getting a first time consultation, then no preparation is required before the appointment. However, if you have ongoing medications or have reports from previous consultations, they should be brought along with you. Recent blood reports and other tests should also be brought for a thorough clinical history.

    ​​Some of the most common risk factors for skin cancer according to our specialists include, ​ ​​
    Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun​

    • Fair skin that burns easily​
    • ​​A history of sunburns​ ​​
    • Family history of skin cancer​ ​​
    • Presence of numerous moles or atypical moles​ ​​
    • Weakened immune system​ ​​
    • A personal history of skin cancer. ​


    Vigilance is crucial in the early detection of skin cancer. Pay close attention to any changes in your skin, particularly:

    • New moles or alterations in existing ones: Look for irregularities in size, shape, colour, or border.
    • Persistent sores: Be wary of any unhealed wounds, crusting, or bleeding that refuse to resolve.
    • Scaly or itchy patches: Unexplained patches with persistent redness, scaling, or itching can be cause for concern.
    • Asymmetrical growths: Moles or lesions with uneven shapes or lopsided appearances require evaluation.
    • Pigmentation changes: New or changing brown, black, or reddish-pink pigmented areas warrant professional attention.

    We, at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, recognize the psychological impact of skin conditions. You will have constant access to our psychology and physiotherapy departments to address both your physical and emotional needs.

    Our dermatologists will provide specific instructions based on your treatment plan and condition. We also encourage regular self-examinations and prompt follow-up for any concerns. Our helpline numbers are always operational and offer immediate assistance in case of emergencies.

    Yes, we offer convenient virtual consultations for appropriate cases, allowing you to connect with your dermatologist remotely for follow-up checks or to discuss less urgent concerns. We are always committed to providing the best possible skin care for you, making us the best hospital in Hyderabad for treating skin conditions.

    Although we take the utmost care to ensure the best care possible for your skin, there are some things you should be careful about post surgery. These include,

    Bleeding: Bleeding is common within a week after surgery, especially on the lower legs. Apply gentle pressure with gauze and elevate the wound if possible. Bleeding should stop within 30 minutes. If it persists beyond an hour, contact us or visit your local emergency department.

    Bruising: Bruising after surgery is normal due to disrupted blood vessels. It resolves naturally, but foundation can be used on non-wounds after it subsides. If facial surgery is planned, consider scheduling downtime as bruising around the eyes is common.

    Infection: While rare, infection can occur if the wound becomes red, swollen, painful, or oozes pus.

    Scarring: All surgeries leave scars, and their visibility varies by location. Follow our wound care guidelines meticulously for optimal healing. Facial scars can benefit from gentle massage with Vaseline. Seek early consultation with us if the scar becomes raised, red, or itchy (hypertrophic/keloid).
