Skin disorders and diseases: Diagnosis and Treatment

Choithram Memorial Hospital conducts a comprehensive set of tests to accurately diagnose skin, hair, and nails in addition to case history and physical examination.

The following tests are commonly used:

Wood Light Test : Any white spots (leukoderma) or superficial fungal or bacterial infections in the skin are best diagnosed with Black Light or Wood Light.

Biopsy : The biopsy is the most important investigation for diagnosis in dermatology because it is correlated with the physical examination of the skin and is the gold standard for diagnosing skin, hair, and nail diseases.
