Instructions for submitting your pictures to be included in the dermatology gallery are below.

You can send me pictures of your skin, hair, or nails, and I will add them to the Dermatology Gallery. Pictures will be divided into 2 categories - Diagnoses and Descriptions. I cannot make a diagnosis based on any pictures sent, therefore, pictures of any diseases must include a statement that your health care provider has given you a diagnosis and the diagnosis itself. Pictures that do not include these statements will be considered for use describing dermatologic terms, such as papule or telangiectasia.
