In gynecology, a Wood's lamp examination can help diagnose a range of conditions:
Bacterial Vaginosis: This condition can cause a specific fluorescence, aiding in its diagnosis. Fungal Infections: Yeast infections and other fungal conditions can be identified through specific patterns of fluorescence. Vulvar Dermatoses: Certain skin conditions affecting the vulva may show characteristic fluorescence patterns. Erythrasma: This bacterial infection often presents with a coral red fluorescence under the lamp.
