Uttar Pradesh's 15 largest listed cities add up to roughly 26.6 million people. Lucknow (4.1 million), Kanpur (3.3 million) and Ghaziabad (3.2 million) lead the list, with 12 other cities behind them. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 33,000 hospital beds, including some 1,700 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,000 hospitals (roughly 550 public and 1,500 private). Uttar Pradesh averages 1.25 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 73% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 33,000 doctors and 59,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Uttar Pradesh.

Uttar Pradesh has infant mortality of 35 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 69.6 years (India: about 72).

How to choose a dermatologist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy), DDVL or DNB.
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. 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).

Who is the best dermatologist in Uttar Pradesh?

There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and city. Shortlist two or three dermatologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. The Velvet Skin Centre (Lucknow) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.

What is the difference between a dermatologist and a cosmetologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor with a postgraduate degree in skin diseases. "Cosmetologist" is a broader title that can include non-doctors. For diseases, infections or anything involving prescription medicines, choose a registered dermatologist.

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.
