Difficulties of diagnosis

It’s difficult to diagnose skin conditions without the help of an expert. There are thousands of possible skin conditions, so it’s important to discuss any changes with your doctor. To get a proper diagnosis your doctor may want to take a biopsy and examine the sample under a microscope.

Changes in skin can be external or internal.Skin infections or contact with an outside substance such as poison oak can cause skin changes. Internal skin conditions could reflect a disease within the body such as lupus or measles.

Treatments for dermatosis

Treatments for dermatosis are often specific to the underlying condition. The treatments for hair loss related to alopecia areata are understandably not the same asthose for acne. However, there are guidelines to keep in mind when you have a dermatosis-related skin condition.Good, general treatment practices include:

*.avoid rubbing, itching, or picking at the affected area
*.wash your hands regularly to avoid transmitting bacteria, fungus, or viruses to others

*.apply a corticosteroid ointment (hydrocortisone), to the affected areas to reduce dermatosis symptoms
*.take or apply medications, such as antibiotics or antifungals, as prescribed by a doctor
*.apply a soothing ointment, such as coconut oil or aloe, to reduce skin dryness
*.keep the affected area clean and dry
