Frequently asked questions

Why are photo-based consultations a good alternative to video-based consultations for skin diseases?

Photo-consultations are more effective than video-consultations for many dermatology conditions as high-resolution photos provide clearer, more detailed images than live video. This allows dermatologists to zoom in and examine the skin conditions closely. Photos also allow for consistency and precision, as patients can take multiple pictures under good lighting and from various angles, ensuring their dermatologist has the best view of the affected area. Additionally, photos can be reviewed, stored, and compared over time, which aids in monitoring progress and tracking changes in chronic skin conditions.
