Dermatology Scoring Tools
Dermatology assessment tools including PASI for psoriasis severity, burns BSA estimation, DLQI quality of life index, and ABCDE melanoma screening criteria. Used for treatment decisions and disease monitoring.
This category currently includes 5 tools, including PASI Score, Burns BSA, and DLQI Score.
These resources are built for clinicians, trainees, and medically informed patients who need fast bedside calculations. Use the results as decision support and pair them with full clinical context and local guidelines.
All Dermatology Tools (5)
PASI Score
Calculate the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) to assess psoriasis severity across four body regions. Scores range from 0 to 72. Pair with [DLQI Score](/tools/dlqi) for biologic eligibility assessment.
Burns BSA
Estimate total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns using the Rule of Nines. Enter affected areas to calculate total burn percentage. Then use TBSA result in [Parkland Formula](/tools/parkland-formula) for fluid resuscitation.
DLQI Score
Calculate the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) to measure skin disease impact on quality of life. Score >10 indicates very large effect and is the NICE threshold for biologic therapy eligibility.
ABCDE Melanoma Check
Screen a mole against the ABCDE melanoma warning signs: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter >6mm, and Evolving changes. Any positive sign warrants urgent dermatology evaluation.
Rule of Nines
Estimate total body surface area (TBSA) burned using the Rule of Nines. Head=9%, each arm=9%, each leg=18%, torso=36%. Burns ≥20% TBSA require IV fluid resuscitation with the Parkland formula.
