Skin and hair, explained properly
Written to help you understand a condition and ask better questions, not to talk you into a treatment. Nothing is published here until Dr. Manvitha Poluri, MBBS, MD (DVL), has reviewed it.

Acne scars: why the type decides the treatment
Rolling, boxcar, icepick, raised — and the flat brown marks that are not scars at all. Telling them apart is what decides whether a course of treatment does anything.
More articles are on the way
Varniqa is building this out one properly reviewed article at a time rather than publishing volume. If there is a skin or hair topic you would find useful, tell us on WhatsApp and it goes on the list.
How these articles are written
No article is published here until Dr. Manvitha Poluri, MBBS, MD (DVL), has read and approved it, and a published article carries the date she reviewed it. Anything still awaiting that review is labelled a draft and is not indexed by search engines. Where a topic is contested or the evidence is genuinely mixed, the article says so rather than picking the confident-sounding answer.
These articles describe how conditions are generally assessed and treated. They are not a diagnosis, and they cannot replace an examination — which is why none of them ends by telling you which procedure to book.
Nothing here is sponsored, and no article recommends a product or brand in exchange for anything.
Reading is not diagnosis
If something on your skin or scalp is worrying you, a consultation will settle in twenty minutes what an evening of reading cannot.
