Key Dos and Don’ts when taking an image for review
-
Do use a smartphone with a good camera
-
Do use good natural lighting - outdoor light is best where possible - not too bright
-
Do clearly capture the area of concern - most phone cameras can take clear, focused images from 60 mm (6 cm) to 100 mm (10 cm) away from the subject
-
Do take focused pictures
-
Do not have irrelevant distractions in the picture, like watches, jewellery etc
-
Point your finger or preferably mark a circle around the lesion you want examined
-
If possible, place a small metric ruler near the lesion
-
Upload the best image you take - zoom in on it and check it is clearly in focus
*A tele-spot spot check is not a formal skin cancer consultation. This can be for 1 spot or several. This does not involve any prescriptions or treatments. If you require a procedure or treatment after this examination, one can be scheduled for you.
