Editorial Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2025

Our Commitment

Every article, service page, and condition guide on https://skindoctoramravati.in is written to be accurate, evidence-based, and genuinely useful to patients and the general public. We do not publish content for the sole purpose of search engine ranking. We publish because accurate health information helps patients make informed decisions and seek timely care.

Who Writes Our Content

All medical content on this website is written or reviewed by Dr. Sanjay Agrawal, MBBS, MD (Dermatology), a dermatologist with 35+ years of clinical experience in Amravati, Maharashtra, India.

Dr. Sanjay Agrawal is a member of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL) and practices in accordance with the guidelines of the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the Maharashtra Medical Council.

Medical Review Process

Before publication, each piece of medical content undergoes the following process:

  1. Drafting — Content is drafted with reference to peer-reviewed literature, established clinical guidelines, and clinical experience.
  2. Clinical review — Dr. Sanjay Agrawal reviews the content for medical accuracy, appropriate language, and compliance with NMC advertising guidelines.
  3. Fact-check — Key claims are verified against the sources listed below.
  4. Publication — A "last reviewed" date is attached to each article.

Every article carries a Medically reviewed by Dr. Sanjay Agrawal line with the date of last review.

Sources We Rely On

Our content draws from the following authoritative sources:

  • IADVL Guidelines — Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists
  • AAD Guidelines — American Academy of Dermatology
  • DermNet NZ — New Zealand Dermatological Society's clinician-reviewed database

Update Policy

Dermatology is a rapidly evolving field. We aim to review all medical content at least once every 12 months. Content that becomes outdated is either updated or removed. The "last reviewed" date on each page reflects the most recent substantive review by Dr. Sanjay Agrawal.

Minor corrections (typos, formatting) may be made without changing the reviewed date. Changes that alter clinical recommendations are treated as full reviews and update the reviewed date.

Substantive corrections are noted at the end of the relevant article with the correction date.
