Leprosy Treatment at Aviva Aesthetics, Karimnagar
By Dermatologist Dr. Samba Raju
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s Disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and eyes. Contrary to myths, leprosy is curable, especially when detected early.
At **Aviva Aesthetics, Karimnagar**, Dr. Samba Raju, our experienced dermatologist, provides comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and care for patients affected by leprosy with sensitivity and expertise.
Signs and Symptoms of Leprosy:
- Light or dark skin patches with reduced sensation
- Numbness or tingling in hands or feet
- Muscle weakness
- Painless ulcers on hands or feet
- Thickened peripheral nerves
- Eye problems in severe cases
Early treatment can prevent nerve damage, deformities, and long-term complications.
