How is small fiber neuropathy "tested"? Does one see primary care physician or a neurologist?

@delia74 you’ll need to find a Dr that will do a skin biopsy to confirm SFN. Rheumatologist or neurologist

A neurologist. The first test is a nerve conduction study. If this points to SFN, then skin punch biopsies ( on the outer leg) are done to look at the nerves.
