Skin is the largest organ of our body. It serves multiple functions such as protection, temperature control, sensory organ etc. Our skin has 3 layers – epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer. It is a house of organelles like hair follicle, sebaceous gland, sweat gland, nail bed etc. Being such a vast and complicated organ it accounts for multiple concerns.
At Iva Speciality Clinic, we are well equipped with extensive experience to help you address a wide variety of medical conditions, whatever your skin concern might be.
