Accurate Diagnostic Support for Personalized Skin and Health Care

Laboratory tests are a key component of dermatologic care, helping confirm diagnoses, uncover underlying causes, and guide safe and effective treatment. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer a range of on-site and partner-lab testing services to support individualized care for skin conditions, allergies, infections, and autoimmune disorders.

Why Are Lab Tests Important in Dermatology?

While many skin conditions are diagnosed through visual examination, lab tests provide essential insights when:

• Symptoms are unclear or overlapping
• A systemic cause is suspected (e.g., autoimmune disease, hormone imbalance)
• Confirmation is needed for fungal, bacterial, or viral infections
• Pre-treatment safety is required for long-term medications
• Allergy or sensitivity testing is indicated

Timely testing supports accurate diagnoses and safer treatment decisions.

Types of Lab Tests Offered

We offer a wide selection of diagnostic services tailored to your skin condition or medical concern:

1. Blood Tests

• Immunoglobulin E (IgE): Measures allergy activity
• Liver and kidney function tests: For monitoring medication safety
• Autoimmune panels: To evaluate conditions such as lupus or psoriasis-related arthritis
