    TLDR New skin imaging, teledermatology, and AI could become key in future dermatology care.
    The document discusses the advancements in dermatology through the integration of skin imaging technology, teledermatology, and artificial intelligence (AI). Skin imaging technologies such as dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have enhanced diagnostic accuracy and expanded application scope, including the investigation of trichoscopic features of hair loss. Teledermatology, facilitated by internet technology, has provided remote consultation and care, proving particularly useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. AI, utilizing a large dataset of high-quality skin images, aids dermatologists in making clinical decisions regarding diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment, especially in atypical or challenging cases. The document concludes that these three elements could provide significant support for patients and doctors, potentially becoming a mainstream medical model in the future.
