Photo Guide
Taking good photos helps us provide more accurate diagnoses. Follow these tips for the best results.
Lighting
Use natural daylight when possible. Avoid harsh shadows or direct sunlight that might wash out colors.
Focus
Tap on the affected area to focus. Make sure the symptoms are sharp and clear in the photo.
Distance
Get close enough to show details, but include some healthy tissue for comparison when possible.
Steady Hands
Hold your phone steady or brace it against something. Blurry photos are harder to analyze.
