Skin problems and e-visit to a dermatologist. When is it worth opting for on-line consultations?

Skin problems, which include, among others itchy skin, rash, hair loss and brittle nails are a worry for many people. The most common cause is an inadequate diet, but this may not be the only cause of skin problems. For this reason, it is worth making an appointment with a dermatologist or performing tests that will help us determine the source of the problem.

Basic laboratory tests for hair and nails

If your hair started to fall out in handfuls and your nails became brittle and brittle, instead of changing the dietary components again, it is worth doing a research package that can be helpful in determining the source of the problem, and at the same time starting a new – effective – treatment not only improving the condition of hair and nails, but also the skin.

The package includes tests of, among others on the hormone TSH, which directly affects the thyroid gland. It is the disturbed work of this small gland that can cause weakening of the hair roots or brittle nails. In addition, the package includes tests for FSH, estradiol, biotin, selenium and testosterone.

Appropriate laboratory tests can indicate the cause of dermatological problems. General test packages and disease specific diagnostics are available.

Skin condition and blood tests

If there are disturbing changes on the skin that cause significant discomfort, not only physical, but also mental, it is worth doing blood tests with the determination of hormones and micronutrients. Especially if we are struggling with dryness, acne lesions or allergic spots appearing in visible places.

In this situation, we should check the level of not only TSH, but also the level of glucose and vitamin A in the blood. Thanks to the tests, the dermatologist will be able to assess the extent of the lesions and propose appropriate treatment tailored to our needs.
