The Department of DVL at Santhiram exhibits tremendous expertise in dealing with different health ailments related to Dermatology, Venerology and Leprology. The impact of these issues is quite pronounced in the day to day activities of the affected persons, and some of them can even lead to serious complications, including nerve damage and disfigurement of the body parts.

Timely diagnosis and treatment is the need of hour to cure these diseases, and we display eminent healthcare techniques in this regard. Health ailments like Leprosy should be treated with great care; else they can lead to deformities in the body parts, which can compromise the functionality as well. We use advanced diagnostic techniques and treatments to deal with these health issues effectively, and regain the lost body movements in the affected persons.

Various STDs, including the dermatology issues can lead to considerable changes in the skin texture and turn bothersome for the patients.
