Tests needed for
Dermatology Surgery
Dermatologists conduct some dermatology tests before dermatology surgery to identify the skin condition. These tests are:
- Imaging tests - These consist of CT scans, ultrasound tests, MRI scans, and X-rays. With the help of imaging tests, dermatologists can identify systemic symptoms. Also, these tests can investigate the presence of advanced melanoma.
- Biopsy - In this test, doctors remove some part of the skin to check it under the microscope. Biopsy provides information or diagnostic clues about the condition that is invisible to the naked eye.
- Blood tests - Blood tests are often performed by dermatologists. These tests provide diagnostic information. Using this information, doctors proceed with diagnostic processes and determine a particular treatment.
- Skin patch test - In this dermatology test, dermatologists apply a substance to your skin to see whether your skin shows allergic reactions or not. This test is done with those patients who are suspected of having contact allergic dermatitis.
- Skin culture test - This test is done to examine the presence of viruses, fungi, and bacteria in the skin. In this, some part of the skin is treated with a substance or fluid to check the growth of the germs. If the germs grow, then the culture test is positive.
- Wood light examination test - During this dermatology test, your skin is exposed to UV (ultraviolet) light to see pigmentation in your skin.
- Diascopy - Diascopy is done to identify the type of lesion in your skin. In this test, dermatologists apply pressure on your skin with fingers or glass slides to observe if your skin changes color or not.
- Dermoscopy - Also known as dermatoscopy, is done for the examination of skin lesions. It is a non-invasive procedure in which dermatologists use an instrument called a dermatoscope to diagnose the type of skin lesions.
- Tzanck test - It is also known as the Tzanck smear. In this dermatology test, the ulcer base is scraped to see the growth of Tzanck cells or look for herpes simplex.
Procedures to be Performed
for Skin Treatment
Every procedure for skin treatment has its benefits. Patients must go through the information or details of the dermatology care procedure before undergoing it. Some of the effective skin treatment procedures are:
- Acne blue light therapy - In this procedure, the dermatologist uses blue light to kill bacteria that cause acne. The treatment causes no pain and can be done in half an hour. People with low to moderate acne issues can undergo this treatment.
- Chemical peel - People having skin pigmentation, sun damage, and wrinkles can opt for this procedure. In this, doctors use an acidic solution to remove the damaged outer skin layer to obtain fresh, new skin.
- Laser peel - It is the newest form of skin treatment procedure that regenerates a new skin layer. It is also known as laser skin resurfacing. During this procedure, a dermatologist uses a laser beam to destroy damaged skin cells and obtain smooth skin.
- Microdermabrasion - This treatment process renews overall skin texture and tone. In this procedure, doctors use an instrument to sprinkle some crystals on the skin's surface. These crystals exfoliate the surface and reduce acne scars and spots.
- Mohs surgery - It is also known as Mohs micrographic surgery. During this Dermatosurgery, the surgeon will remove cancer cells from the skin layer by layer.
- Cryosurgery - In this procedure, dermatologists use an instrument or cold liquid called cryoprobe to freeze and remove abnormal cells in the skin.
