Skin Rash Questionnaire

Skin Rash Questionnaire


Diagnosing eczema is not easy since it is not based solely on the results of any specific test such as a blood test or skin biopsy (lab test of a piece of skin). Rather, it is a diagnosis that is made by a doctor based on a number of factors. These factors include the patient's recent medical history, family history, and physical examination.
It is important to remember that the diagnosis of skin rashes, such as eczema, requires a visit to a physician.
In order to help your doctor to diagnose whether the skin rash you or a loved one has is eczema, you can use this questionnaire.
Answer the following 4 short questions. If you do not know the answer to a question, leave it blank. Once you have completed the questionaire, you can email or print your instant results to make them easier to share with your doctor.
1. Is the skin rash area itchy?
Yes    No
2. Does the rash occur in repeated episodes?
Yes    No
3. Does the affected person have a personal or family history of atopic disorders (eczema, hay fever, asthma)?
Yes    No
4. How old is the person you are concerned about?
younger child    older child    adult
