Consultation with a pediatric dermatologist at the "LeoDerm" Medical Center, Lviv

During the appointment, the dermatologist will examine the mucous membranes, skin, nails, and hair of the child, inquire in detail about the main complaints, and also issue referrals for laboratory tests if they can help specify the diagnosis:

• blood analysis (allergens, antibodies, antigens);
• skin scraping analysis (PCR, microscopy);
• biochemical blood analysis;
• dermatoscopy;
• microbiology (culture for flora with sensitivity determination to antibiotics and antifungal drugs);
• consultations with various related pediatric specialists (if needed).

The treatment plan for a child is developed individually, taking into account the microorganisms' sensitivity to antibiotics and possible secondary allergic reactions.
