Dr. Prashfutita Barua

Dr. Prashfutita Barua is an Assistant Registrar in the Dermatology Department at Southern Medical College in Chittagong. She holds an MBBS degree and works with patients who have skin related complaints. Dermatology covers a wide range of problems, including acne, eczema, fungal infections, allergies, rashes and hair or nail concerns. A patient may come in with something that looks like a simple rash, but the cause can be different from one person to another. Sometimes the doctor can identify the issue by examining the skin. Other cases may need tests.

As an Assistant Registrar, Dr. Prashfutita Barua works within the dermatology team at the medical college. The role can include patient assessment, clinical duties, follow up and assisting senior doctors. Skin conditions often need more than one visit, especially when symptoms keep returning. A treatment may need adjustment after seeing how the skin responds. Acne is one example. Some patients improve quickly, while others need a longer plan. The medical college setting also includes teaching and learning alongside routine patient care. Dermatology can involve a lot of small details. A patch of skin, a few marks, a change in color. That is where the examination starts.
