Rash Examination · 皮疹检查

basic
You

I have a rash on my arm that appeared last week. It is red, itchy, and spreading.

上周我胳膊上出了一片皮疹。又红又痒,还在扩散。

Let me take a closer look. Have you started using any new soaps, detergents, or skincare products recently?

让我仔细看看。你最近有没有开始使用新的肥皂、洗涤剂或护肤品?

You

I switched laundry detergent about two weeks ago. Could that be it?

大约两周前我换了洗衣液。可能是这个原因吗?

Very likely. This looks like contact dermatitis — an allergic reaction to something touching your skin. Switch back to your old detergent and use a fragrance-free brand.

很有可能。这看起来像接触性皮炎——皮肤接触某种东西引起的过敏反应。换回你以前的洗衣液,用无香型的品牌。

You

What can I put on it to stop the itching?

可以涂什么止痒?

I will prescribe a hydrocortisone cream. Apply it twice a day for a week. If it does not clear up, come back and we may need to try something stronger.

我给你开氢化可的松药膏。每天涂两次,用一周。如果没有消退,回来复查,可能需要换更强的药。

Mole Check · 痣的检查

intermediate
You

I have a mole on my back that has changed shape and color. My wife noticed it looks different from before.

我背上有一颗痣,形状和颜色都变了。我妻子注意到它看起来跟以前不一样了。

💡 美国皮肤科使用ABCDE标准检查痣:不对称(Asymmetry)、边界不规则(Border)、颜色不均(Color)、直径大于6mm(Diameter)、变化(Evolving)。

Changes in a mole are worth investigating. Let me examine it with a dermatoscope. I am looking at the borders, color, and symmetry.

痣的变化值得关注。让我用皮肤镜检查一下。我在看边界、颜色和对称性。

You

Should I be worried? Could it be skin cancer?

我需要担心吗?可能是皮肤癌吗?

The borders are slightly irregular, so I want to do a biopsy to be safe. It is a quick in-office procedure — I will numb the area and remove a small sample.

边界有些不规则,所以为安全起见我想做个活检。这是一个快速的门诊操作——我会麻醉那个区域然后取一小块样本。

You

How long until I get the biopsy results?

活检结果多久出来?

Usually seven to ten days. We will call you as soon as the results are in. In the meantime, keep the area clean and covered with a bandage. Try not to worry — most biopsies come back benign.

通常七到十天。结果一出来我们就打电话通知您。这期间保持伤口清洁,贴好创可贴。不用太担心——大多数活检结果都是良性的。
