Dermatopathology

Where Dermatopathology is Much More Than A Report.

Not Sure What Dermatopathology Is? You’re not alone.

Many patients only hear the term when a skin concern needs a closer look under the microscope. At Johns Creek Dermatology, we’re here to explain what it means and how it can help guide your care. You may benefit from dermatopathology if:

• You’ve had a skin biopsy and want a second opinion

• A rash or skin condition hasn’t improved with treatment

• You need clarity about a lesion, spot, or mole

• You’ve been referred for evaluation after an abnormal result

Analyzing Skin at the Microscopic and Molecular Level

Dermatopathology bridges clinical dermatology and surgical pathology to study skin conditions in detail—especially those that aren’t immediately visible or clearly diagnosed during a physical exam. It plays a critical role in identifying skin cancers, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, and more.
