Skin checks are performed to assess pigmented and non pigmented skin lesions often with the use of a dermatoscope to assess structures and colours that may not be visible to the naked eye or under natural light. Most skin lesions are benight freckles and moles however new, evolving or scab like lesions that keep returning require proper assesment and in some cases a biopsy or surgical removal for diagnostic testing.
 

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a common chronic skin condition that presents as patches of red, dry, itchy and inflammed skin. During severe flare up the skin can crack, weep and form a crust or scab and lead to permanent skin changes over time. Eczema can be treated with over the counter medicines and topical creams and in some cases may require prescription treatments or a referral to a Dermatologist for specialist restricted interventions.

Dermatitis (other) including contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatisits are common skin condition that can be chronic or acute and presents as patches of red, dry, itchy and inflammed skin similar to eczema. Contact dermatitis is caused by an allergy or irritant that has come in "contact" with the skin and can also present with blisters. Seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) causes skin to flake or peel commonly affecting the scalp, face and chest. Dermatitis can be treated with over the counter medicines and topical creams and in some cases may require prescription treatments or a referral to a Dermatologist for specialist restricted interventions.
