Frequently asked questions
You will first meet with a specialized dermatology nurse, then with the dermatologist. In order to establish a diagnosis, the dermatologist will, depending on the purpose of the consultation, carry out a complete evaluation that may include questions about the nature of the problem, the date of onset of symptoms, their intensity, as well as a physical and skin exam, if required.
Some skin diseases may reflect an underlying medical condition, and may require additional tests such as blood tests, skin biopsies, imaging, etc.
Yes, dermatology consultations are performed by a certified dermatologist or a dermatologist certified by the Royal College of Doctors and Surgeons of Canada.
No.
With extensive training and experience in dermatology, dermatologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all skin, hair and nail problems.
As their title suggests, general practitioners are multi-skilled in medicine. Their expertise in dermatology, however, is less in-depth than that of dermatologists. If you have a skin problem, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for a more precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Regular skin examinations are crucial for the early detection of skin cancer and other dermatological problems. The frequency of examinations may vary depending on your risk factors. It is recommended that adults see a dermatologist for a complete body skin examination at least once a year. However, if you notice any changes in moles, spots or lesions, it’s essential to make an appointment immediately.
