From 1 Blog to 800 – My Journey as a Skin Doctor & Writer

From 1 Blog to 800 – My Journey as a Skin Doctor & Writer

When I wrote my first skin blog, I never imagined I would one day complete 800. Back then, it felt like a small experiment — just a way to share my thoughts beyond the walls of my clinic. Today, it has become a part of who I am, both as a doctor and as a writer.

🌱 The Beginning: Why I Started

As a dermatologist, I meet hundreds of patients daily. Most of them come with the same doubts — “Doctor, will this cream make me fairer?”, “Is dandruff permanent?”, “Why do I still get pimples at 30?”

I realized that if one person is asking me this in clinic, then maybe hundreds more are silently searching for the same answers online. That’s when I decided to start writing — to make skin education simple, clear, and available to everyone.

💻 The Struggle of the Early Days

The first few blogs were not easy.

• I wasn’t sure if people would read them.

• Writing after long clinic hours felt tiring.

• Sometimes, I doubted myself — “Am I explaining this too simply? Or too medically?”

But every time a patient said, “Doctor, I read your blog and it helped me,” I found new energy to write the next one.

🚀 The Growth Phase

Slowly, one blog became ten, ten became a hundred, and now… 800. Along the way, my writing improved, my ideas expanded, and I started exploring topics beyond just acne or pigmentation.

I wrote about lifestyle, myths, emotions, even funny stories from patients. What surprised me was how much people connected with real stories and simple explanations rather than heavy medical terms.

🔑 What Kept Me Motivated

Three things kept me going:

1. Patients’ Smiles – When someone says, “Your blog saved me from wasting money on wrong creams,” it feels priceless.

2. Love for Teaching – I’ve always believed that educating patients is as important as treating them. Writing became my classroom beyond the clinic.

3. Personal Growth – Writing made me a better doctor. It forced me to explain things clearly, think from a patient’s perspective, and keep learning new updates in dermatology.

✨ What’s Next?

Reaching 800 is not the end. For me, it’s a reminder that there are always more questions to answer, more myths to bust, and more patients to guide. My goal is to keep writing — not for numbers, but for the impact it creates.

❤️ Final Thought

From blog number 1 to blog number 800, my journey has been about more than words. It’s about connection, trust, and a shared dream of healthier skin. If my blogs have helped even one person feel better about their skin, then every late night of writing has been worth it.
