Over the years, India has made significant contributions for the advancement of science and technology. Ancient literature on various skin disorders by Indian scholars and philosophers attest to the early work carried out in this field in the country. Indians have played a significant role in contributing to the growth of dermatology, venereology, and leprology. In this article, we have attempted to compile the significant contributions made by Indians in the field of Dermatology, which we hope would inspire the coming generations.
