When a specialist does a skin exam using a Wood's Lamp, the procedure uses trans-illumination (special UV light) and a magnifying lens (5X) to detect bacterial and/or fungal skin infections. It also can be used for the detection of skin pigment disorders and irregularities such as vitiligo. With the help of this device, we can know the severity and origin of skin conditions in order to provide the most effective solution.
How Does It Work?
A Wood's Lamp is a small handheld device that uses black light to illuminate areas of your skin. The light is held over an area of skin in a darkened room. The presence of certain bacteria or fungi, or changes in the pigmentation of your skin will cause the affected area of your skin to change color under the light. This light in combination with the magnifying lens helps to find the problem areas so we can do a proper treatment. Conditions that a Wood's Lamp can help diagnose: tinea capitis, pityriasis versicolor, vitiligo, melisma, tuberous sclerosis, erythrasma, propionibacterium acne, head lice and nits, porphyria cutanea tarda, and others
