Dermatological examination

Dermatological consultation

A consultant dermatologist is a physician who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the skin, hair, nails and genitals. An example of this might be a dermatologist acne clinic providing medical or surgical treatment for acne scars. Dermatologists need to know about health problems and medications that could impact your skin.

From there, your doctor will examine the problem that brought you to the appointment. They will also likely perform a full-body skin check to look for any troublesome moles or signs of other skin conditions.
