Any problem that is not on a fixed spot.
Instructions for Localized Lesions
Localized lesions, such as moles, require close-up images where the lesion is the focal point.
The UI may show these steps to the user when capturing images of localized lesions:
Capture the photo with your mobile phone.
Center the photo on the lesion.
Take up to three images of the same lesion.
Crop the image.
For dermatoscopic images, specific instructions are unnecessary as the dermatoscope is designed to capture close-up, standardized images of skin lesions.
Instructions for Other Conditions
Conditions such as skin infections, inflammatory diseases, or rashes require different instructions due to their variability.
The UI may show these steps to the user when capturing images of localized lesions:
Capture the whole affected area with your mobile phone.
Only send one dermatological problem at a time.
Avoid covering the affected area with clothing, hair or accessories.
