### Patient: Doctor, I have a skin condition where the affected area is becoming thinner and losing its elasticity. I am concerned about it, what test will I need for this?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, I would recommend a complete physical skin exam performed by a dermatologist. They may also suggest an excision or removal of the affected area, or even a biopsy to determine the cause of your atrophic skin condition. Other tests that may be required to manage your condition include wound care management, injections and aspirations of muscles, tendons, bursa, joints and soft tissue, and other diagnostic procedures on skin and subcutaneous tissue.
