Introduction to Dermatology
As a medical assistant at River Region Dermatology & Laser, you will be working closely with Dr. Porcia Love and other healthcare professionals to provide high-quality patient care. In this section, we will introduce you to the basics of dermatology, the role of a dermatology medical assistant, and the importance of proper patient communication and confidentiality. Dermatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders and diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Dermatologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of skin-related disorders, including skin cancers, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other conditions.
The skin is the largest organ in the body and performs several important functions:
1. Barrier function: The skin acts as a barrier against external factors such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
2. Regulation of body temperature: The skin helps to regulate body temperature by releasing heat through sweating.
3. Waste removal: The skin helps to remove waste products from the body through sweat and excretion.
4. Sensation: The skin contains sensory receptors that allow us to feel sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, and temperature.
The skin is composed of several layers:
1. Epidermis: The outermost layer of the skin that contains melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) responsible for pigmentation.
2. Dermis: The middle layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerve endings, and hair follicles.
3. Hypodermis: The innermost layer of the skin that connects to underlying tissues.
Job Function:
Your role as a medical assistant will involve supporting the dermatologist and other healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating skin-related disorders. Your duties may include:
▪ Preparing patients for exams and procedures
▪ Taking vital signs and recording patient information
▪ Assisting with minor procedures such as biopsies and injections
▪ Preparing medications and treatments for application
▪ Maintaining accurate records and documentation
▪ Providing patient education on skincare and treatments
Effective communication is essential in dermatology as patients often have concerns about their appearance and may be anxious about their condition. As a medical assistant, you will need to:
1. Listen actively: Pay attention to patients' concerns and ask questions to clarify their needs.
2. Communicate clearly: Explain procedures, treatments, and instructions clearly and concisely.
3. Empathize: Show understanding and empathy towards patients' emotions and concerns.
4. Maintain confidentiality: Respect patients' privacy by maintaining confidentiality about their personal information.
Confidentiality is crucial in dermatology as patients may have sensitive information about their personal lives or medical conditions. As a medical assistant, you must:

In this section, we will explore the Fitzgerald Phototype Chart, techniques for inspecting skin lesions, and common findings during a skin check.
The Fitzpatrick skin type (or phototype) depends on the amount of melanin pigment in the skin. This is determined by constitutional color. It is as followed:
1. Type I: Pale white skin
2. Type II: Fair skin, blue eyes
3. Type III: Darker white skin
4. Type IV: Light brown skin
5. Type V: Brown skin
6. Type VI: Dark brown or black skin
Here are some common terms used to describe skin lesions, rashes, moles, and other skin findings:
▪ Macule: A flat lesion that is usually less than 1 cm in diameter.
▪ Papule: A small bump or elevation on the skin.
▪ Plaque: A flat-topped elevation on the skin that is usually greater than 1 cm in diameter.
o Nodule: A solid or cystic lesion that is usually greater than 1 cm in diameter.
o Vesicle: A small blister or fluid-filled sac on the skin.
o Pustule: A small pus-filled blister on the skin.
o Crusting: The formation of a crust or scab over a wound or lesion.
o Scaling: The shedding of dead skin cells or flakes from the surface of the skin.
During a routine skin check, dermatologists often encounter various benign and malignant lesions. Some common findings include:
▪ Lentigines: Small, flat brown spots on the skin caused by sun exposure.
▪ Benign appearing nevi (moles): Small growths on the skin that are typically benign but may require removal due to cosmetic concerns.

Biopsy Techniques in Dermatology
A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of skin tissue is removed and examined to diagnose and manage skin conditions. There are several types of biopsies used in dermatology, including:
1 Punch biopsy: A punch biopsy involves using a specialized tool to remove a cylindrical piece of skin, usually 2-4 mm in diameter, from the affected area. This type of biopsy is often used to diagnose conditions such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
2. Shave biopsy: A shave biopsy involves using a razor-like instrument to remove the top layers of skin, usually 1-2 mm deep. This type of biopsy is often used to diagnose conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
3. Excisional biopsy: An excisional biopsy involves removing the entire abnormal growth or lesion, usually under local anesthesia. This type of biopsy is often used to diagnose and treat conditions such as skin cancer.
4. Punch excision: A punch excision is a combination of a punch biopsy and an excisional biopsy. It involves removing a cylindrical piece of skin, usually 6-8mm in diameter, and then removing the entire abnormal growth or lesion.
Indications for Biopsy:
Biopsies may be indicated for a variety of skin conditions, including:
▪ Skin cancer
▪ Suspected skin infections or inflammation
▪ Abnormal moles or growths
▪ Chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema
▪ Skin lesions that do not respond to treatment
Preparation for Biopsy:
Before undergoing a biopsy, patients should:
▪ Avoid shaving or waxing the area to be biopsied
▪ Inform their doctor if they have any allergies or sensitivities
