Dermatopathology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing skin diseases at a microscopic level. It combines aspects of dermatology, which deals with skin conditions, and pathology, the study of disease. Dermatopathologists examine skin biopsies to identify various conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and skin cancers. The process typically involves taking a small sample of skin tissue, which is then processed and examined under a microscope. This helps in determining the exact nature of the skin issue, guiding treatment options, and improving patient outcomes. Dermatopathology plays a crucial role in understanding complex skin disorders.
