Acne Vulgaris is such a commonly occurring disease that it is extremely easy for a physician to diagnose it just by looking at the eruptions. However, certain laboratory tests are sometimes advised to the patients to know the underlying cause of the disease.
LABORATORY TESTS
- Serum levels of Total and Free Testosterone
- Serum levels of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA-S)
- Serum levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Leutinizing Hormone (LH)
- Microbial Culture of skin lesions to know the type of infection
