What started as an informal discussion among concerned dermatologists has now evolved into a nationwide movement—Indian Doctors and Dermatologists Against Quackery (IDDAQ). From that small beginning, we now proudly stand as a registered organization with over 2,000 NMC-qualified dermatologists actively involved across two WhatsApp groups.
We have also secured the trademark for our name and logo, establishing IDDAQ as a credible and committed force in the field of ethical dermatology.
With over 2,000 NMC-qualified dermatologists united under one mission, we strive to uphold professional integrity and promote responsible dermatology.




IDDAQ stands on strong ethical principles that guide our efforts to safeguard dermatology practice and ensure patient safety across India.
To fight against quackery and unethical practices in dermatology. We undertake this crusade not only as medical professionals but as responsible citizens-driven by a sense of duty to protect our patients and uphold the integrity of our profession. Quackery is not just a threat to our careers, but more importantly, a danger to patient safety and public health.
To create a healthcare ecosystem where all dermatological procedures are performed only by qualified professionals, ensuring transparency and trust.
Integrity, accountability, patient-first care, scientific integrity, and professional unity define our collective commitment.
