Answer:

Doctors can diagnose some skin problems by how they look. For other problems, they will use skin tests. Your doctor will first examine you and ask about your medical history. They may check to see if your skin problems may be caused by psoriasis or other chronic conditions. Skin tests can help to diagnose allergies, infections, and other problems affecting the skin. There are also used to tell the difference between malignant (cancerous) cells and benign (noncancerous) cells.

The most common skin tests include:

Patch testing: Patch tests are used to diagnose skin allergies. Allergens (substances that a person may be allergic to) are applied to the skin on the back with adhesive patches and left for a period of time. The skin is then examined for any reaction.

Skin biopsy: Skin biopsies are used to diagnose skin cancer or benign skin disorders. During a skin biopsy, skin is removed (after a local anesthetic is applied) and is taken to a laboratory for analysis. The skin may be removed with a scalpel, razor blade, or a cylindrical punch biopsy tool. Stitches may be used to close the wound.

Culture: A culture is a test that is done to identify the microorganism (bacteria, fungus, or virus) that is causing an infection. Skin (surface scrapings, biopsies, contents of pus bumps and blisters), hair, or nails may be cultured.

1.how do drugs emotionally affect the community.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Teens may use a substance for many reasons. They may do it because:

They want to fit in with friends or certain groups.

They like the way it makes them feel.

They believe it makes them more grown up.

Teens tend to try new things and take risks, so they may take drugs or drink alcohol because it seems exciting.

Teens with family members who have problems with alcohol or other drugs are more likely to have serious substance use problems. Also, teens who feel that they are not connected to or valued by their parents are at greater risk. Teens with poor self-esteem or emotional or mental health problems, such as depression, also are at increased risk.
