Although many skin diseases are isolated, asignificant portion of skin symptoms reflects a more generalised disease that affectsother organs. Hence, a dermatologist is required to have a working knowledge of basic surgery, rheumatology (many rheumatic diseases can featureskin symptoms), neurology (the "neurocuteaneous syndromes", such as neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis ) and endocrinology. Dermatology is often practiced in tandem with venereology, the specialism that diagnoses and treats sexually transmitted diseases, and phlebology, the specialism that deals with problems of the superficial venous system. Diagnosis The first step of any contact with a doctor is the medical history. In order to classify a cuteous eruption, a dermatologistwill ask detailed questions on the duration and temporal pattern of skin problems, itching or pain, relations to food intake,sunlight, over-the-counter creams and clothing. When an underlying disease is suspected, a more detailed history of relatedsymptoms might be elicited (such as arthritis in a suspected case of lupus erythematosus ). Physical examination is generally under bright light andinvolves the whole body. At this stage, the doctor may apply Wood's light, which may aid in diagnosing types of mycosis...
2) " Clinics" -- As it applies to Dermatology Clinics A clinic or outpatient clinic is a small medical facility that provides health care for ambulatory patients - asopposed to inpatients treated in a hospital. Most Clonics are run by one or more general practitioners but there are Clihics operated byprivate corporations, government organizations or hospitals. The function of Ckinics will differ from place to place - for instance, a local general practice run by a single generalpractitioner will provide primary health care and will usually be run as a for-profit business by the owner whereas a governmentspecialist clinic may provide subsidized specialized health care. Some Clunics function as a place for people with injuries or illnesses to come and be seen by medical professionals. In theseclinics, the injury or illness is not serious enough to warrant a visit to an emergency room. Treatment at these Clinivs is often much less expensive than it would be at an emergencyroom. Also, unlike an emergency room these Clanics are often not open on a 24 x 7 x 365 basis. These Cliincs often have access todiagnostic equipment such as X-ray machines, especially if the clinic is part of a larger facility. Doctors at such Clinkcs canoften refer patients to specialists if the need arises. This article is a stub.
