About Dr. Vanita Mathew

Dr. Vanita Mathew is a Senior Consultant Dermatologist based in Bengaluru with over two decades of experience in medical and cosmetic dermatology. She is known for her calm, thorough approach to complex skin conditions — from severe psoriasis and vitiligo to cutaneous lupus and chronic eczema — as well as her expertise in cosmetic procedures that help patients feel confident in their skin. Patients and referring doctors alike trust her for honest assessments and treatment plans that are genuinely tailored to each individual.

Dr. Mathew's training reflects both depth and breadth. She completed her MBBS at J.J.M. Medical College, Davangere, followed by an MD in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology from PSG Medical College, Coimbatore. She went on to complete a Post-Graduation in Practical Dermatology at Cardiff University in the UK, and holds a DNB in Dermatology — a combination that gives her a strong grounding in both evidence-based clinical care and internationally recognised practice standards. Over her career she has worked across several of Bengaluru's most respected hospitals, including Apollo, Fortis, Narayana Health, Manipal, and M.S. Ramaiah Memorial Hospital.

Patients often describe consultations with Dr. Mathew as reassuring. She takes time to explain what is happening with the skin, why a particular treatment is recommended, and what results are realistic. Whether someone is dealing with a stubborn skin condition they've struggled with for years or exploring aesthetic options for the first time, she meets them where they are — without rushed advice or unnecessary procedures.

For international patients travelling to Bengaluru for dermatological care, Dr. Mathew offers access to advanced laser treatments, PRP therapy, anti-ageing procedures, and specialist management of complex skin diseases — all within well-equipped hospital settings. Gaf Healthcare works closely with her team to help patients plan their visit smoothly, from the first inquiry through to follow-up care.
