Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the clinical utility of clinical images, digital dermoscopy images and in-vivo confocal microscopy for teledermatology.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To incorporate in vivo confocal images into the triage system in order to determine to what degree the information gathered in this modality changes the classification of a lesion assigned by a licensed dermatologist.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the potential improvement of virtual patient triage when adding digital dermoscopy images to clinical images presented by patients to their provider (via e-visit or e-consult).
OUTLINE:
Participants undergo imaging of suspicious moles via smartphone application (app) MoleMapper/Sklip app/native smartphone camera app, digital dermoscopy, and confocal microscopy. Participants then receive lidocaine subcutaneously (SC) and undergo shave or punch biopsy of suspected melanomas.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up within 1 week.
