Course of the session
INVESTIGATION: The dermatologist interviews the patient to find out about the reason for the consultation, allergies, personal, medical, and family history, professional and daily activities, and lifestyle.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The dermatologist then physically examines the patient’s skin, nails, or hair, depending on the reason for consultation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT: The dermatologist shares their diagnosis with the patient. They may prescribe a treatment or additional examinations, or carry out an intervention (biopsy, excision). They may also refer the patient to a colleague if the diagnosis is not solely dermatological. A follow-up appointment is often scheduled.
