Diagnosing certain skin conditions can be challenging, especially those not easily visible on the surface.
Without specialised tools like the Wood lamp test, detecting fungal infections, pigment disorders, and bacterial infections becomes uncertain.
Many individuals experience frustration and uncertainty due to undiagnosed skin issues, which can lead to prolonged discomfort and delayed treatment.
The need for more clarity in identifying these conditions often results in ineffective therapies or unnecessary trials of different treatments, highlighting the crucial need for precise diagnostic methods.

A Wood lamp test is a diagnostic tool used by dermatologists to examine the skin under ultraviolet light. It helps detect various skin conditions that may not be visible under normal light.
No, the Wood lamp test is a non-invasive and painless procedure. It involves shining a special ultraviolet light on the skin to observe fluorescence patterns.
The duration of a Wood lamp test depends on the number of areas being examined. Typically, the test can be completed within 15-30 minutes.
A Wood lamp test can diagnose fungal infections (such as ringworm), bacterial infections (such as erythrasma), pigment disorders (such as vitiligo), and certain skin cancers (such as porphyrins in some forms of skin cancer).
The Wood lamp test is generally safe with minimal risks. There are no known long-term side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary redness or sensitivity to light, which usually resolves quickly.
There is typically no special preparation needed for a Wood lamp test. It is recommended to clean the skin area being examined to ensure accurate results.
The frequency of Wood lamp tests depends on your skin condition and Dr Ghazavi's recommendations. For monitoring purposes, periodic examinations may be recommended.
While the Wood lamp test is effective for diagnosing specific conditions like fungal infections and pigment disorders, it may not detect all types of skin conditions. Dr Ghazavi will determine if additional tests or examinations are necessary based on your symptoms and medical history.
