An awareness program on acne was organized at the Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant.

Dateline Dehradun: An awareness program on acne was organized at the Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant. During the program, people attending the OPD were informed about the causes, symptoms, and prevention of acne.

On Thursday, the Department of Dermatology at Himalayan Hospital held an awareness program addressing the issue of acne. During this event, Head of the Department, Dr. Rashmi Jindal, mentioned that while acne is a common problem in adolescence, it can occur at any age. It is a common belief that acne only occurs during adolescence, but experts disagree. People in their 30s and 40s can also face acne issues. Dr. Y.S. Bisht explained that acne clogs the pores on the face’s skin. When the sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum oil, the pores get blocked. These glands are connected to hair follicles. This blockage is called a plug, which then expands and turns into a lump, damaging the skin layer. This allows bacteria and harmful substances to enter the skin, causing inflammation and irritation.

Dr. Samarjeet Roy noted that some primary causes of acne are hormonal imbalance, continuous use of oily cosmetics, certain medications, and humid weather. Additionally, genetics can sometimes play a role. Acne can leave scars, marks, patches on the skin, and open pores. They can also lead to a lack of confidence and symptoms of depression. Dr. Ruchi Hemdani explained that there are various types of acne, and if someone has acne, they should consult a dermatologist. Dermatologists diagnose and treat according to the skin type, whereas self-treatment can often be harmful to the skin.

Dr. Deekshita, Dr. Ritu, Dr. Anuj, Dr. Arnav, Dr. Jagruti, Dr. Darshana, Dr. Vrinda, Dr. Sakshi, Dr. Shobhit, and Dr. Tabeer also provided information to the attendees.

An awareness program was organized at Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant under World Breastfeeding Week

Dateline Dehradun: An awareness program was organized at Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant under World Breastfeeding Week to educate mothers about breastfeeding their infants. Information was provided about the benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and newborns.

The Department of Community Medicine at the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences and the Himalayan Hospital conducted a week-long awareness campaign in the rural areas around Doiwala. During this campaign, mothers of newborns were informed about the importance of breastfeeding. Department Head Dr. Ashok Kumar Srivastava stated that the first breastfeeding session is beneficial for both the mother’s and the newborn’s health. The mother’s first thick yellow milk is the baby’s first vaccination, providing essential minerals and immunity against diseases. He mentioned that the goal of celebrating Breastfeeding Week is to make mothers aware of its benefits. Breastfeeding can reduce infant mortality rates and malnutrition by 19%. The first milk of the mother is rich in vitamins, helps clean the infant’s intestines, and protects the baby from jaundice.

Dr. Surabhi Mishra mentioned that due to lack of awareness, there is a misconception that the first milk can be harmful. To dispel this myth, this weekly campaign is being run. She informed that a mother can start breastfeeding her baby approximately half an hour after birth. In the case of a cesarean delivery, the mother can start breastfeeding about four hours after the operation or once the effects of anesthesia wear off. Doing so keeps both the baby and mother healthy, accelerates the baby’s intellectual development, and reduces the risk of cancer, diabetes, and hypertension later in life.

Dr. Avni Gupta, Dr. Chirag Joshi, Dr. Sudiksha Sharma, Swasti Garg, Swati Bisht, Vaibhav Gupta, Vamika Sharma, Saksham Srivastava, Vaibhav Rana, and health worker Farzana participated in the campaign.
