Diagnostic dermatology

Diagnostic dermatology is a specialized field focused on identifying skin conditions through careful examination and testing. Dermatologists assess skin features such as color, texture, and patterns, and may use tools like magnification or skin biopsies to gather more information. This approach helps determine the cause of skin issues—ranging from infections and allergies to chronic conditions like psoriasis or skin cancer. The goal is accurate diagnosis, enabling effective treatment plans to improve skin health and address any underlying concerns.
