Abstract
Many dermatologists use teledermoscopy to seek second advice from experts for difficult lesions. Teledermoscopy by primary care physicians (PCP) is still controversial but already has been implemented in several regions. Since there are only few studies published about teledermoscopy in the hand of PCP with poor level of evidence we asked the opinion of dermoscopy experts (board members of the International Dermoscopy Society (IDS)). (1-6) Furthermore, we investigated the routing of patients with a suspicious pigmented skin lesion and the use of teledermoscopy in different countries. This article is protected by copyright.
