Dr. Ananya Rao

Consultant Dermatologist · MBBS, MD (Dermatology)

I have practised dermatology for twelve years, the last six in my own clinic in Indiranagar.

Most of my week is acne, pigmentation and hair loss. A lot of it could have been treated earlier and more simply if the person had found reliable information first — which is why I write here.

I take referrals from general physicians across Bengaluru, and I teach postgraduate students two mornings a month.
