Dermatologist's appointment
Skin, hair, or nail problems? A dermatologist will prescribe a diagnosis, as well as draw up a treatment or prevention plan for dermatological problems.
Кожа — это важный и самый большой орган человека, который может подвергаться различным заболеваниям, включая аллергодерматозы, иммуновоспалительные дерматозы, кожные патологии инфекционной природы и другие.
Дерматологи специализируются на лечении таких заболеваний, как акне, атопический дерматит, красный плоский лишай, псориаз, склеродермия, экзема, грибковые инфекции, алопеция и многих других, а также проводят диагностику и удаление доброкачественных новообразований кожи. На консультации будет разработана стратегия лечения, направленная на устранение симптомов, предотвращение рецидивов и поддержание здоровья кожи.
Before consulting a dermatologist, it is recommended to bring the results of previous examinations, if any. Ask your relatives if there have been any cases of skin diseases or skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma) in the family. Prepare a description of the symptoms: their duration, intensity, and possible triggers. Tell your doctor how long ago the rashes appeared, where they first appeared, what sensations accompany the symptoms, and whether relatives have similar manifestations. Also, specify which skin, hair, or nail care products you use. If the complaint is related to the condition of the hair, do not wash your hair before taking it — it is optimal to do this 2-3 days before the consultation.
The consultation begins with interviewing the patient and examining the medical history, after which the doctor examines the skin of the entire body surface, hair and nails. Don't be surprised when a dermatologist asks you to undress completely for an examination. The doctor needs to fully assess the condition of your skin. A dermatologist can use a dermatoscope or a video dermatoscope to examine moles or other growths in detail. The doctor can also perform a luminescent diagnosis to determine fungal manifestations and inflammation. Depending on the symptoms, laboratory tests, biopsies, or allergy tests may be prescribed to clarify the diagnosis.
For diagnosis, the dermatologist uses a dermatoscope to examine skin growths and laboratory equipment to perform blood and skin tests.
The patient receives personal recommendations on treatment and skin care. Regular checkups help to monitor the dynamics of treatment and adjust therapy on time.
