What does a skin examination cover?
A skin assessment considers both what a problem looks like and how it developed. Itching, redness, dryness, acne and changing patches can have different causes. Conditions that look similar may need different treatment, so diagnosis comes before choosing products or procedures.
Preparing for your consultation
Note when the problem started, where it appears and any triggers. Bring a list of medicines, supplements, skin products, allergies and previous treatments. Earlier photographs can help when a rash comes and goes, and existing test reports may provide useful context.
Will I need tests?
Dermoscopy, sampling or other investigations may be appropriate depending on the findings; they are not routine for everyone. Ask what a proposed test is intended to clarify. A new or changing mole should be examined before cosmetic removal is considered.
Treatment and follow-up
Planning takes account of the diagnosis, severity and your daily routine. Discuss how to use treatment, what response to expect and when to return. Using another person’s prescription or starting many new products at once can complicate assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Can everything be diagnosed in one visit?
Sometimes, but some problems need test results or observation over time.
When should I avoid waiting?
Seek prompt assessment for a growing, bleeding or non-healing lesion. A widespread rash with breathing difficulty requires emergency help.
