Article : More than a pretty face: How selfies can be used to detect skin cancer and other dermatological conditions.
Summary:
This article discusses how taking "selfies", photographic images of yourself, can help scientists and dermatologists determine what type of skin cancer is present. Some dermatologists have looked at pictures and have came to the same conclusion as looking at the person face to face. They discussed the idea of " teledermatology " and what it is. T
eledermatology is a subspecialty in the medical field of dermatology. It is
used to exchange medical information - concerning skin conditions and tumours of the skin - over a distance using audio, visual and data communication; t
his enables diagnoses, consultation and treatment. It tells how the patient must do a follow - up testing to improve results.
