How to Make the Most of Your Consultation with a Dermatologist

The skin is the largest organ in the body and, being on the “ outside ”, it's virtually an open book when it comes to reporting symptoms. At least for a dermatologist, examining skin, hair, nails, and hair precisely is a full plate to have at least a partial picture of how our health is going.

What symptoms does the skin express?

Unlike other internal organs, which depend on invasive or largely technological tests to discover symptoms, the skin and its accessories ( fur, hair, nails) are always available as “ gossipers ” of some problems that may be passing, including in other organs..,

Some symptoms of the most varied conditions that the skin can have are

Color changes( lighter or darker than normal, greenishness);
Change in consistency( thinner, thicker);
Texture change( rougher, smoother);
Change in content( more hair, localized thinning of hair, hair loss);
Abnormal oiliness;
Loss of hydration;
Unusual smell;
Itch;
Pain;
Burning.
utmost skin changes are normal and don't indicate any complaint. But if you suspect that commodity is wrong, look for an expert to admit a proper opinion.

What skin problems can it indicate?

According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, there are further than three thousand dermatologist conditions, including acne, disinclinations, vitiligo, knobs, herpes, psoriasis, hair loss, leprosy, and skin cancer.

Dermatology also treats conditions of the mucous membranes( of the mouth and genitalia), including sexually transmitted conditions. Through a thorough examination of the skin, the dermatologist can also find signs of conditions that affect other organs, including dengue, AIDS, and measles.

Below are some exemplifications of how the dermatologist can interpret the symptoms

Greenishness, itching, and scaling

nonentity bite, mislike, dermatitis, dengue, or cancer? The possible symptoms of these problems are varied. For this reason, it's important to allow yourself to be examined by a specialist before jumping to conclusions or making the effects worse by scratching the lesions with your nails full of bacteria.

Acne

Acne has numerous causes, including hormonal changes and stress. Depending on the case, treatment may thus involve other medical specialties and remedial approaches, in addition to acceptable cleaning and original drug.

Loss of hair

In addition to the consequences of genetics and aging( especially in men), hormonal changes, metabolic patterns, thyroid problems, and crown mycosis may be other causes to be delved into.

veritably dry or veritably unctuous skin

The need for hydration of the skin is related to the type of skin and also to the terrain. The same skin can be impeccably doused in a littoral megacity, with high air moisture, and relatively dry in a place far from the ocean and with low moisture.
