In October 2019 I got ulcers on my body and they were not healing and spreading day by day. I got admitted to Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow. I got diagnosed with Pyoderma Gangrenosum (rare auto- immune disorder). The diagnosis was done by Dr. Shafali Yadav at Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital. She treated me with utmost care. She did research about the disease and treated me with right set of medicines. Due to her treatment and Dr. Nikhil’s surgical procedures I recovered from my condition earlier than expected in this disease. She is much more than a good doctor for me. She is a very good human being herself that she understands the psychology of patients and counsel them during her rounds that no disease is bigger than human will power and everything can be cured. In my case i was so hopeless keeping in mind my disease is a very rare disorder and there is no permanent cure for this. She used to console me everyday, she supported me like a family member during my stay at hospital and also after i got discharged.I stay in bangalore and work here but almost every week i get message from her asking about my health and medicine doses. I am really very thankful to her for all her support and treatment. I would recommend her anytime for any type of skin disease.

Sun exposure is the main cause of skin damage. Skin damage from the sun is due to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light, which breaks down elastic tissue (elastin) in the skin and causes the skin to stretch, sag, wrinkle, and become blotchy, occasionally with pre-cancerous growths and even skin cancer.
