A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps:
- General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; further:
- Inspection (viewing) of skin [leading symptoms: foci of vulnerable skin, horn-like or wart-like growth].
- Palpation of lesion(s)/palpation of skin lesion(s) [roughness (“like sandpaper”) easily palpable]
- Dermatological examination[due todifferential diagnoses:
- Arsenic keratosis – skin damage resulting in dryness and yellowish discoloration of the skin.
- Benign lichenoid keratosis – form of keratosis in which there is the formation of nodules.
- Lichen planus – description of small flat, slightly scaly nodules.
- Seborrheic keratosis (synonyms: seborrheic wart, age wart, verruca seborrhoica) is the most common benign (benign) tumor of the skin. Initial cells of this cornification disorder are keratinocytes].
due topossible sequelae: Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (malignant neoplasm of the skin)]
