Image Upload Guidelines
Taking the Right Photos
Clear photos are crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Please follow these simple rules:
- Use natural daylight if possible.
- Avoid using flash or filters.
- Take one photo from far away to show the overall area.
- Take a close-up picture in sharp focus.
- Ensure the affected area is clean (no makeup or creams).
Importance of Good Photos
Good photos provide the dermatologist with the clarity needed to make a confident assessment. The images should accurately represent the redness, texture, and size of the problem area.
What to Expect
During the Video Call
The doctor will review the photos you uploaded and ask questions about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. They may ask you to show the affected area on camera.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Based on the visual assessment and your history, the doctor will provide a diagnosis and discuss a personalized treatment plan with you.
