Assessment begins with visual and clinical examination, symptom history, skincare or cosmetic-product use, medications and relevant medical history. Some conditions can be diagnosed clinically. Others may need skin scraping, laboratory tests, dermoscopy or a small skin biopsy. Treatment is selected according to the diagnosis, skin type, severity and previous response.
The specialist first reviews your symptoms, when they began, previous treatment, current medicines and relevant medical history.
A focused examination is performed according to the symptoms and the body system involved.
Tests are advised when they can help clarify the diagnosis, assess severity or guide treatment.
The care plan is based on the diagnosis and may include medicines, monitoring, rehabilitation, a procedure, surgery or referral when appropriate.
The specialist decides which investigations are appropriate after reviewing the history and examination findings.
Dermatology care focuses on skin, hair and nail concerns, with treatment selected after clinical assessment.
