Diagnosing skin problems or diseases can be complex and requires careful observation, medical history review, and sometimes diagnostic tests. Here’s an overview of the process:
A visual examination of the skin is conducted to observe the affected areas. The doctor may use a magnifying glass or a dermatoscope for a closer look.
Depending on the suspected condition, we may recommend various tests.
Skin problems are diagnosed through a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and sometimes diagnostic tests such as biopsies, cultures, or blood tests.
During a skin examination, the doctor will visually inspect your skin, asking questions about symptoms, duration, and potential triggers. They may use tools like a dermatoscope for a closer look.
If your primary care physician is unable to diagnose the condition or if specialized treatment is needed, they may refer you to a dermatologist, who specializes in skin diseases.
Diagnostic tests for skin problems include skin biopsies, patch testing for allergies, blood tests for underlying conditions, cultures for infections, and sometimes imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI.
