6. How Do Doctors Diagnose Lymphangitis?
If you are relying on telehealth services, you may wonder if a doctor can diagnose you without a physical in-person visit. Most often, the answer is yes. This condition is so unique in appearance that doctors are often able to diagnose it without the need for an appointment.
However, there are some instances where the doctor may request an in-person visit for a more thorough inspection. This is especially likely if the wound is painful, needs stitches or begins to ooze pus. A thorough exam also becomes necessary if there is no obvious source of the problem. The doctor must determine the cause to prescribe the proper treatment.
