With specialised training in conditions like vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema, she approaches clinical dermatology with both medical precision and genuine empathy. Her focus is simple: understand your condition completely, then treat it effectively with proven, science-backed protocols.
Whether you visit the clinic in Jubilee Hills or see her at KIMS Hospitals, Gachibowli, you'll receive the same personalised care.
Acne: teenage, adult and hormonal
What you may be experiencing
Breakouts that don't respond to face washes. Painful cystic bumps along the jawline. Persistent acne well into your 20s, 30s or beyond. Whether you're a teenager dealing with your first breakouts or an adult frustrated by recurring acne, you deserve more than another product recommendation.
Acne is a complex condition influenced by hormones, genetics, bacteria and inflammation. Self-treating with random products can sometimes make things worse, causing more irritation, scarring or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Consider professional acne care if you have:
- Persistent pimples, blackheads or whiteheads that don't clear with over-the-counter products
- Painful, deep, cystic bumps
- Acne that leaves dark marks or scars
- Breakouts linked to your menstrual cycle or stress
- Acne that is affecting your confidence and daily life
Dr. Praneeta's treatment approach
Topical prescriptions
Retinoids, antibiotics and combination creams tailored to your acne type and skin sensitivity.
Oral medications
Antibiotics, hormonal regulators (for women with hormonal acne), or isotretinoin for severe, resistant cases, prescribed with careful monitoring.
Chemical peels
Medical-grade peels to unclog pores, reduce oil production and fade post-acne marks.
Comedone extraction
Safe, hygienic removal of blackheads and whiteheads by trained therapists.
Skincare guidance
A personalised routine to complement your treatment, not replace it.
Mild acne often improves within 4–6 weeks. Moderate to severe acne typically needs 3–6 months of consistent treatment. Dr. Praneeta will set realistic expectations at your very first consultation.
Follow-up schedule: every 4–6 weeks, to track progress and adjust your plan.

Psoriasis
What you may be experiencing
If you have psoriasis, you know it's more than visible patches. It's the persistent itching that disrupts your sleep, the scaling that makes you self-conscious, and the flare-ups that seem to come without warning. Some days are manageable; others feel overwhelming.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition in which skin cells multiply too quickly, creating thick, scaly plaques. While there is no permanent cure, modern dermatology offers excellent control, and that is where Dr. Praneeta's expertise comes in.
Consider professional psoriasis care if you:
- Have red, raised patches with silvery-white scales
- Experience itching, burning or soreness that affects daily life
- Notice patches on your scalp, elbows, knees or other areas
- Have tried over-the-counter products without lasting relief
- Experience joint pain alongside skin symptoms (psoriatic arthritis)
- Feel your condition is affecting your confidence
- Want to understand your triggers and gain long-term control
Dr. Praneeta's treatment approach
Topical therapies
Medical-grade creams and ointments, including corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues and retinoids, selected for your specific patches and skin type.
Phototherapy (NB-UVB)
Controlled narrowband UVB exposure on the Daavlin phototherapy system to slow excessive skin cell production and reduce inflammation. Particularly effective for widespread psoriasis, and safe even during pregnancy. About phototherapy
Systemic medications
Oral or injectable treatments for moderate to severe cases, which work throughout the body to calm the immune response driving your psoriasis.
Biologics
Advanced targeted therapy that blocks specific immune pathways, reserved for cases that need more aggressive management.
Lifestyle and trigger management
Honest guidance on stress, diet and habits that may be worsening your condition, because medication alone isn't always enough.
Your first consultation involves a thorough skin examination and a detailed discussion of your symptoms, triggers, previous treatments and what you're hoping to achieve. Most patients notice improvement within 4–8 weeks, with continued progress over several months. Because psoriasis is chronic, you'll need ongoing management, but with the right approach you can achieve significant control and prevent severe flare-ups.
Follow-up schedule: typically every 4–6 weeks initially, then adjusted based on your response.
Vitiligo
What you may be experiencing
Watching white patches appear on your skin can be distressing. Perhaps they started small and you hoped they'd fade. Perhaps they're spreading. Perhaps you've been told nothing can be done, which isn't true.
Vitiligo occurs when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) are destroyed, leaving depigmented patches. It isn't physically painful, but the emotional impact can be significant. Results take time, and many patients achieve meaningful repigmentation with proper treatment.
Dr. Praneeta Jain has specialised training in vitiligo, including advanced surgical correction techniques that few dermatologists offer.
Consider consulting Dr. Praneeta if you:
- Have noticed white or depigmented patches developing on your face, hands or body
- Have vitiligo that's spreading or changing
- Want to explore repigmentation options
- Have stable vitiligo and are interested in surgical treatment
- Have a family history of vitiligo or autoimmune conditions
- Feel anxious about changes in your appearance
Dr. Praneeta's treatment approach
Topical treatments
Corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors to help restore pigment. Facial vitiligo often responds particularly well.
Phototherapy (NB-UVB)
Narrowband UVB light therapy in the Daavlin phototherapy chamber, fitted with 24 NB-UVB bulbs, to stimulate melanocyte activity and encourage repigmentation. Each session lasts just a few minutes, 2–3 times a week.
Excimer light therapy (targeted)
A focused 308 nm light for smaller or hard-to-reach patches. It delivers concentrated doses directly to affected areas and leaves healthy skin untouched, giving faster results with fewer sessions.
Surgical options
For stable vitiligo (no new patches for 6–12 months): mini punch grafting (especially effective for lips), suction blister grafting, non-cultured melanocyte suspension (where 1 cm² of normal skin can repigment up to 10 cm² of affected skin), and hair transplant into vitiligo patches to reintroduce melanocytes. What is vitiligo surgery?
Combination protocols
Often the best results come from carefully coordinated use of several modalities, tailored to your specific pattern.
Vitiligo treatment is a journey, not a quick fix. Repigmentation happens gradually, sometimes over many months. Facial vitiligo typically responds better than the hands or feet. Dr. Praneeta will be honest about what's achievable in your case, and regular progress photographs help track even subtle improvements.
Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
What you may be experiencing
The constant itch. Red, inflamed patches that crack and sometimes bleed. Broken sleep. The frustration of avoiding triggers you can't always identify, and the cycle of flare-ups just when you thought things were under control.
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the skin's barrier function. It often starts in childhood but can persist, or even begin, in adulthood. The good news: with proper management, you can break the cycle and regain control.
Dr. Praneeta's treatment approach
Barrier repair
Medical-grade moisturisers and emollients chosen for your skin type. This is the foundation of all eczema care.
Anti-inflammatory treatments
Topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors, selected according to severity, location and your age.
Systemic therapies
For severe, widespread eczema, oral immunosuppressants or biologic injections may be appropriate.
Trigger identification
A comprehensive evaluation to identify the allergens, irritants, foods or lifestyle factors that worsen your eczema.
Infection management
Prompt treatment when bacterial or viral infections complicate your eczema.
Most patients notice improvement within 1–2 weeks, though stable, long-term control takes consistency over months. Eczema is manageable, but it's chronic: the goal is to minimise flare-ups and maintain healthy skin, and Dr. Praneeta will teach you how to keep control long-term.
Skin infections
What you may be experiencing
Perhaps it started as a small red bump, or persistent itching, or an area that has become increasingly painful, warm and swollen. Skin infections range from minor nuisances to serious conditions that need immediate treatment, and knowing the difference matters.
Types of infections we treat
Bacterial infections
Cellulitis, impetigo, folliculitis, furuncles, carbuncles and infected wounds, treated with targeted antibiotics.
Fungal infections
Ringworm, candidiasis, athlete's foot, nail fungus and tinea versicolor, which need antifungal medication.
Viral infections
Herpes simplex, shingles, warts and molluscum contagiosum, managed with antiviral therapy or removal procedures.
Parasitic infections
Scabies and lice infestations, treated with prescription-strength topical medication.
Most infections need treatment to start immediately. Bacterial infections typically improve within 3–5 days. Fungal infections need several weeks. Viral infections vary widely, and antiviral medication works best when started early.

Frequently asked
Can chronic conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema be cured?
These are chronic conditions, which means they don't have permanent cures. However, they are highly manageable with proper treatment. Most patients achieve excellent symptom control and significant improvement in quality of life.
How long before I see improvement?
It depends on your condition. Skin infections typically improve within days. Eczema flare-ups often calm within 1–2 weeks. Psoriasis usually shows noticeable improvement in 4–8 weeks. Vitiligo repigmentation is the slowest, sometimes taking several months.
Will I need long-term treatment?
Chronic conditions need ongoing management. However, once stable, many patients need only maintenance therapy with periodic check-ins. Acute infections need short-term treatment only.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Dr. Praneeta treats paediatric dermatology conditions, including childhood eczema, infections and other skin concerns, with age-appropriate treatment approaches.
