PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEDear members,Greetings from IADVL KN.
I am honoured to be the president of this association and want to thank all the members for allowing me to serve as President of this prestigious association. Our association not only excels in academic activities, but has also given back to the community in these difficult times of COVID 19 pandemic.
I am proud of our Association’s success and activities over the last 6 months. We received the best branch Award for internal organisation during e-DERMACON 2021. Inspite of several restrictions due to pandemic, we have continued with our regular programs like DERMA ADVANCE virtually. Numerous academic events like RESIMED and CMEs were conducted. Practice management cell came with innovative programs. Social media team worked with the enthusiasm and very much successful in bringing community awareness on common skin conditions.
The second COVID wave has hit our nation to the core, pushing our medical fraternity bound by duty to care for humanity, to work in a war footing mode as frontline warriors. To face the challenges, it is need of the hour that we support each other. IADVL KN with the other Dermatologists’ associations of Karnataka has contributed substantially to this cause. An amount of 1 crore has been earmarked for this noble cause. MIDCUTICON KN is organised as an international CME exclusively for raising funds for COVID 19 pandemic.
I am extremely grateful to all the EC members, coordinators, sister society office bearers, each and every member of the association for their active participation, guidance and for effectively carrying out various activities of the association. I request all the members to enrol for e-voting and cast their votes in upcoming IADVL election.
If you have an idea, suggestion, comment, improvement, or criticism, please contact us and please let us know if you want to be more involved in association activities. I urge the younger dermatologists to become more associated with the association.
IADVL KN deeply mourns the loss of Dr. Manjunatha R, President elect, one of the most hardworking and dedicated member. His contribution will always be remembered and his memories will always be cherished.
Long live IADVL.

With deep sorrow we inform the sad demise of
the young and dynamic member of our association,
Dr. Manjunatha R, President Elect 2020-2021.
Dr. Manjunatha R was born in Kollegal on 2nd May 1972,
he did his primary schooling at his birthplace.
He completed MBBS education from Bangalore Medical
College (1990 batch) and further did his post graduation
from KMC, Mangalore. He established his practice in
Kollegal and was the first to start phototherapy treatment
there. He did his diploma in Medical law and ethics from
National Law School.
He had been an inseparable part of the Executive
Committee of IADVL KARNATAKA and his journey began
from 2012 as the Joint Secretary from 2012-14, Treasurer
from 2014-16, was the Hon. General Secretary from 2017-
19, Vice President 2019-20 and then the President Elect.
Dr. Manjunatha R’s contributions to the association are
innumerable. He is remembered fondly as a soft spoken,
humble, honest, hard working and dedicated member. His
untimely death leaves a void in our dermatology fraternity.
He is survived by his wife Dr. Srividya, practising Gynaecologist
in Kollegal and two daughters Spoorthi and Trupti.
On behalf of all the members of IADVL KN, we express
our heartfelt condolences to the family. May his divine
soul rest in peace.

Dear members,
Greetings from IADVL KN.
I begin by thanking our members again for giving us an opportunity to
serve this association which has been envisioned and nurtured by doyens to
provide professional excellence. As the pandemic continues to challenge us,
we have risen to the situation and planned to help the front line workers and
community. Doctors and health care professional are the prime warriors in this
pandemic. It is in these testing times, the duty of any association to support
the community.
IADVL KN along with other Dermatologists’ association of Karnataka has
contributed in a big way by providing essential requirements like N 95 masks,
pulse oxymeters, digital BP apparatus, NIV masks and nasal cannulas to 10
medical colleges across Karnataka. To reach the ground level front line workers,
N 95 masks and pulse oxymeters were distributed to all the PHCs in Karnataka.
Our annual midyear conference was MIDCUTICON KN was planned as a fund
raising conference, the income of which will be used exclusively for COVID 19
services. It is an international CME with more than 10 international faculty and
50 plus national faculty. Through our Benevolent fund, we managed to assist
few of our members during these testing times.
A position statement on COVID 19 vaccines and dermatology was published
with emphasis on dermatological diseases, medications and vaccination.
DERMAADVANCE, the flagship program of IADVL KN for exam going
postgraduates was conducted online in January. RESIMED is the weekly
program by IADVL KN Academy which focusses on case discussions and small
topics for benefit of residents. We have completed 50 weekly sessions. CME
on Dermatology teaching for UGs in context of Competency based Medical
Education was also conducted successfully. Practice management cell has
organised CME on GST, artificial intelligence and medico legal issues.
We lost the President elect of IADVL KN Dr. Manjunatha R recently. He was
a very active member of the association and his demise is immense loss to us.
My heart felt condolences to his bereaved family. I pray that the almighty gives
his family the strength to withstand this tragic moment. May his soul rest in
peace.
My thanks to Dr. Sneha M DERMAPEN editor for bringing out this edition
successfully.
I thank our president Dr Shashikumar B M and all office bearers, zonal
and district coordinators, office bearers of sister societies for their active
contribution towards all the activities of IADVL Karnataka.

fRoM THE EDIToR’S DESK
Greetings from the editorial team of Dermapen!
Having managed to tide over the second wave of the COVID -19 pandemic, we bring to you the present edition of
Dermapen. We have had a transition from in-person to virtual events, which now seem smooth because of consistent
efforts of office bearers of IADVL-KN and other sister societies.
The first quarter started off with CUTICON KN 2020, which set a bench mark in terms of its efficient conduct and
academic extravaganza. DERMA ADVANCE 2021, an exceptional activity of IADVL KN Academy for post-graduates
appearing for exams was conducted in January 2021. RESIMED – KN DERM, a weekly program by IADVL KN Academy
has continued to benefit the post graduates. IADVL KN successfully conducted a CME on “Dermatology teaching for
UGs in context of Competency Based Medical Education”. IADVL KN Practice Management Cell organised e-CMEs on
medicolegal issues in Dermatology, artificial intelligence, and clinic account management and GST.
IADVL KN along with its sister societies has prodigiously contributed towards COVID - 19 relief activities, executed in
two phases. During phase 1, essential requirements like N 95 masks, pulse oxymeters, digital BP apparatus, NIV masks
and nasal cannulas were given to ten medical colleges across Karnataka. Phase 2 of the COVID - 19 relief activity catered
to the grass root level front line workers, where N 95 masks and pulse oxymeters were distributed to all the PHCs in
Karnataka.
A major set-back to IADVL KN has been the demise of our President elect Dr. Manjunatha R, who had held
various positions in IADVL KN and has contributed immensely to our association. We deeply mourn the loss of
Dr. Manjunatha R.
We thank Dr. Shashikumar B.M, President, IADVL KN, Dr. Savitha A.S, Honorary Secretary General, IADVL KN, all
the office bearers, zonal and district coordinators, and office bearers of sister societies for their active contribution
to dermapen. It gives us immense pleasure to bring forth such activities and we keenly look forward to your avid
participation in the future.
