The word Charma means skin in Sanskrit and other Indian languages. Charma was conceptualised in the summer of 2013 as a centre to treat dermatological problems. It was started in Chirag Hospital, a small nursing home in South Bengaluru. The advantage therefore would be the ability to treat problems that otherwise could not be done in an office setting as most stand-alone dermatology clinics in Bengaluru.

Dermatology in the fast-growing urban metro like Bangalore was always veering towards the cosmetic or aesthetic domain and less emphasis was given to treating other skin conditions like chronic non-healing ulcers, auto-immune disorders, and skin cancer. A hospital setup provided the opportunity to treat these conditions with the help of other specialities like rheumatology, plastic surgery, internal medicine, etc. Charma embraced these conditions and also started a new aesthetic wing in 2021 to cater to the ever-growing need for aesthetic treatments.

If you have ever had a bad experience, and now the marks are imprinted there, you don't have to lose all your hopes. The world hasn't ended yet! You can always take a step to start a new chapter in your life and consult a plastic surgeon for burn scar management.  - sandhya1 January 10th, 2024
