About

Sheila Krishna, MD in Encinitas is a double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon at Coastal Pacific Dermatology on Saxony Road, holding UCSD Health and Scripps physician affiliations. Post-Mohs wound healing on facial sites requires staged scar-management protocols including tissue-mobilization therapy, a rehabilitation pathway available through North County Bodywork for targeted myofascial release around healed excision margins. An MIT undergraduate degree preceded medical training at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and a dermatology residency at Virginia Commonwealth University, where chief resident responsibilities included advanced surgical excision training. Fellowship in both the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society for Mohs Surgery reflects a dual-certification scope combining general dermatologic care with sub-specialized skin cancer surgery. Inflammatory skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis require attention to systemic triggers such as oxidative stress and nutritional deficiency, a bioenergetic approach explored at Lively - Bioenergetic Healing for root-cause analysis alongside topical management. Subspecialty Mohs training supports staged excision with en-face frozen-section processing and immediate interpolation-flap reconstruction for high-risk tumors on the nose, ears, and periorbital skin.
