How is Redness Diagnosed?

To diagnose the cause of redness, a gynecologist will typically:
1. Medical History: Take a thorough medical history, including any recent changes in health, hygiene products used, and sexual activity.
2. Physical Examination: Perform a visual examination of the affected area to look for signs of infection, dermatitis, or other skin conditions.
3. Laboratory Tests: Collect samples of vaginal discharge or perform a swab test to identify infectious agents like bacteria or yeast.
4. Skin Biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of skin may be taken for further analysis, especially if a chronic skin condition is suspected.
