What is IDJ?
The Indian Journal of Dermatology (IDJ) is a peer-reviewed medical journal that serves as a leading publication for dermatological research and clinical practice in India. Published by the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL), it covers a wide range of topics including skin diseases, sexually transmitted infections, leprosy, cosmetic dermatology, and dermatosurgery. The journal is used extensively by dermatologists, medical students, and researchers for staying updated with evidence-based medicine and regional epidemiological patterns. Its bi-monthly issues feature original articles, case reports, review articles, and expert commentaries that are particularly relevant to tropical dermatology. For medical professionals preparing for postgraduate entrance exams or specialty board examinations, IDJ offers a rich source of frequently tested topics and recent advances. The journal also plays a role in public health awareness by disseminating information on endemic skin conditions prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. With both print and online accessibility, IDJ ensures that cutting-edge dermatological knowledge reaches practitioners across metropolitan and rural healthcare settings.
