Teledermoscopy

Teledermoscopy is a specialized form of teledermatology that allows dermatologists to examine skin conditions remotely using high-quality images. Patients use a dermatoscope—a handheld device that magnifies and illuminates the skin—to capture detailed images of moles or skin lesions. These images are then sent securely to a dermatologist, who can analyze them from afar. This process enables quicker consultations, reducing the need for in-person visits, and allows for effective monitoring of skin health, especially in areas with limited access to dermatological care. It enhances both convenience and expertise in managing skin concerns.
