Figure. Dermatologist Recommendation of Visit Type According to Skin Complaint.

Figure.

Dermatologists were asked what visit type(s) were appropriate for a total body skin examination (darkest blue), a bleeding mole (slate blue), a concerning lesion (medium blue), acne (paler blue), or a rash (lightest blue). For a total body skin examination, 95.7% of dermatologists felt only a live, in-office visit (LO) was appropriate. Conversely, for acne, only 2.6% of dermatologists felt that an in-office visit was the only appropriate selection, with the remainder noting either teledermatology or in-office visit (52.5%) or teledermatology alone (44.8%). Abbreviations: LO, live office visit; LV, live video visit; SDP, stored digital photography.
