Many skin conditions are diagnosed by examination. When needed, your doctor may suggest skin scrapings, a skin biopsy, or blood tests such as a blood count, thyroid, iron or vitamin levels, because these can affect skin and hair.
Bring a photo ID, any previous prescriptions, reports and scans, and a list of the medicines and supplements you take. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you have had them and your medical and family history, examine you, and explain whether any tests are needed. Please confirm available services, timings and fees with the hospital before you visit.
Avoid applying new creams just before the visit if you can, and bring the products you have been using.
A rapidly spreading rash with fever, blistering or peeling skin, swelling of the lips or face, difficulty breathing after an allergic reaction, or a painful red area spreading quickly needs urgent medical care.
