How do I know that the medical information is correct?

The professional opinion given to you by our doctors is based on the information the doctor has received. It is therefore important that the pictures you upload are as clear as possible. Similarly, the text description you send along with the picture should be descriptive and accurate. First Derm is not a substitute for a visit to a physician. Studies have shown that in over 70% of teledermatology consultations the diagnosis is the same as when you see a physician personally, and in 90% of cases if the differential diagnosis is included.

The information should be used for medical guidance. The information should NOT be seen as a definitive medical diagnosis or treatment plan, but rather steps that can be taken before a visit to the doctor is needed.
