About Dr. Ashwini M Shetty
Dr. Ashwini M Shetty is a Consultant Dermatologist at Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, with over eight years of experience caring for patients across a broad range of skin, hair, and aesthetic concerns. She is equally comfortable managing complex medical conditions — such as severe psoriasis, vitiligo, and cutaneous lupus — and performing precision cosmetic procedures like laser skin rejuvenation and PRP therapy. Her dual grounding in clinical dermatology and cosmetology means patients rarely need to look elsewhere for a second opinion.
Dr. Shetty's academic journey reflects a real commitment to excellence. She completed her MD in Dermatology and went on to earn a DNB in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy — a rigorous dual postgraduate path. During her MD, she secured the 6th rank in the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) examinations, a recognition that speaks to her depth of knowledge. She further pursued a Fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology from the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL), making her one of the few dermatologists in the city with formal specialist training in childhood skin disorders.
Patients often remark on how Dr. Shetty takes the time to explain a diagnosis in plain language before discussing treatment options. She believes that an informed patient heals better, and that principle shapes every consultation. Whether she is guiding a teenager through an acne treatment plan or advising an adult on managing a long-standing pigmentation concern, her approach stays calm, methodical, and genuinely patient-focused.
For international patients, Dr. Shetty's practice at Apollo Hospitals — a globally recognised facility — offers the reassurance of world-class infrastructure alongside personalised care. She is an active member of the Indian Medical Association and the IADVL, staying current with the latest evidence and techniques in her field. Gaf Healthcare works directly with her team to coordinate appointments, pre-consultation queries, and follow-up care, making your journey to treatment as smooth as possible.
