Digital photography can be used to follow clinical improvement in a variety of dermatoses, document pre and postoperative results, and document histologic findings from skin biopsies. Images may be printed as part of text documents and can be filed in conventional medical charts. Images can be transmitted via electronic mail rapidly and to any location. We have found digital photography to be relatively inexpensive and a powerful tool to enhance dermatologic practice.
