• Hang in there…we’re almost done!
Genital DermatologyGenital Dermatology
• Don’t forget to examine other areas for clues to the diagnosis
• Consider KOH, wood’s lamp, dermatoscope, culture, bloodwork
• Do not tx unless you know the dx• If give steroid rx, don’t give refills• Patient ed is important. Reinforce tx compliance
and need for patient to keep an eye on things• Ensure f/up
Genital DermatologyGenital Dermatology
• Get a biopsy PRN. I would refer for bx if– Aggressive skin cancer– A large lesion– A lesion located in sensitive area– A lesion that is beyond scope of your skills– The patient has a higher chance of having a
complication or may require close monitoring during or after surgery
