FAQ's Related to Dermatologist

A dermatologist diagnoses and manages conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. Depending on their clinical scope, dermatologists may also assess sexually transmitted infections and other conditions related to venereology.

A mole should be assessed if it changes in size, shape, or colour; develops an irregular border; looks different from other moles; or begins to itch, bleed, or form a sore. These changes do not always mean cancer, but a dermatologist can evaluate whether further investigation is needed.

A skin biopsy involves removing a small sample of skin for laboratory examination. It may be recommended when the diagnosis is uncertain, a skin tumour is suspected, or the appearance of a lesion needs further evaluation. The need for a biopsy depends on the clinical findings.

Clinical trials study potential new treatments, treatment combinations, or approaches to diagnosing and managing skin diseases. Trials may assess safety, effectiveness, and side effects. Eligibility depends on the study protocol, diagnosis, previous treatments, and other health factors.

Consider seeing a dermatologist for a persistent or worsening rash, unexplained skin changes, a changing mole, recurring itching, unusual blisters, significant hair loss, or a sore that does not heal. Seek prompt medical assessment for rapidly changing skin lesions or signs of a serious infection.
