Glossary Skin Examination

thorough inspection of skin to identify abnormalities

A Skin Examination, also known as a Dermatological Examination, is a thorough inspection of the skin conducted by a healthcare professional to identify any abnormalities, such as moles, rashes, lesions, or signs of skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. This assessment is crucial for early detection of skin cancers, infections, and other dermatological issues, and typically involves both visual inspection and palpation of the skin.
