Advanced diagnostic methods are used to accurately diagnose pathologies, such as dermoscopy, a clinical examination carried out with a dermatoscope, which makes it possible to visualize structures in the skin. In selected cases, skin biopsy is indicated, performed under local anesthesia on the skin or scalp in order to obtain a pathological diagnosis.
Anatomopathological diagnosis makes it possible to identify morphological changes, such as abnormal cells, inflammation, infections or other pathological conditions. It is also very important in the diagnosis of a variety of diseases, including cancer, infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Based on the characteristics observed in the samples taken, the dermatologist can make an accurate diagnosis and obtain important information for planning the most appropriate treatment for the patient.
