Dermatologists in Hyderabad at a glance
Quick facts about Hyderabad and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Hyderabad has an estimated 11.3 million (113 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 6 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.4% a year, it would reach about 12.8 million by 2030, so demand for dermatologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Telangana's 2.51 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 28,000 hospital beds in Hyderabad, including about 1,400 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 1,200 hospitals (about 250 public and 930 private). That is about 398 residents for every bed and around 24 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 5,500 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 14,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Hyderabad, supported by around 25,000 nurses and midwives. A dermatologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many dermatologists practise in Hyderabad.
On health outcomes, Telangana's infant mortality rate is 17 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 73.7 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 79% of hospital beds in Telangana are private, so most people weigh private dermatologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 dermatologist for Hyderabad, and 1 other city in Telangana have their own dermatologist page below.

How to choose a dermatologist in Hyderabad
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy), DDVL or DNB.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
"Cosmetologist" is not a protected medical qualification. For medical skin and hair problems look for a registered dermatologist (MD/DDVL/DNB).
Healthcare in Hyderabad: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 28,000 beds and 1,200 hospitals for Hyderabad. Telangana state averages about 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 79% of beds in Telangana.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Hyderabad include NIMS, Osmania General, Gandhi and AIIMS Bibinagar (outskirts). Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private Dermatologist - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
For context on health outcomes in Telangana: the state infant mortality rate is 17 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 73.7 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Hyderabad is estimated to have around 14,000 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a dermatologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Avoid applying new creams just before the visit
- Bring the products and medicines you already use
- Note any triggers such as food, soap or season
Frequently asked questions: Dermatologists in Hyderabad
How do I find the best dermatologist in Hyderabad?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three dermatologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Sitarra Dermatology (1-1-191,SIRI LAXMI ARCADE SHOP NO.2 ,Near MORE SuperMart Lane opposite to B1114/B1115 /PistaHouse, Chikkadpally Rd, RTC Cross Road, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad, Telangana 500020) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a dermatologist in Hyderabad?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a dermatologist consultation cost in Hyderabad?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Hyderabad offer dermatologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Hyderabad include NIMS, Osmania General, Gandhi and AIIMS Bibinagar (outskirts), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for dermatologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
How do I know if I should see a dermatologist for acne in Hyderabad?
If acne is painful, leaves marks, covers the chest or back, or has not improved after a few weeks of gentle skincare, a dermatologist can prescribe the right treatment and help prevent scarring. Self-medicating with steroid creams often makes skin problems worse.
Is hair loss treated by a dermatologist?
Yes. Dermatologists diagnose the type of hair loss, order blood tests for causes such as thyroid problems or low iron, and suggest medical treatments or procedures. Treatment usually needs a few months before results are visible.
Can skin problems be linked to other health conditions?
Sometimes. Persistent itching, dark patches or recurrent infections can be connected to diabetes, thyroid disease or nutritional deficiencies, so a dermatologist may suggest blood tests alongside skin treatment.
How many hospital beds does Hyderabad have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 28,000 beds (around 1,400 ICU beds) for Hyderabad. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
