Hi,

The best method to ascertain is a direct clinical examination. The second best is to click a picture of the affected areas and upload it here. This website allows you to ask queries with a picture attached to it.

I assure you of accurate diagnosis and further treatment plan after that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
