A case is the name we use for all of the information and photographs you submit for our Consultant Dermatologists to assess your skin condition.

To create a case, press the green + button on the My Skin Problems screen. This will then take you to the Add Skin Problem screen where you will be asked to add a close up photograph taken from 10cm (4 inches) away from your condition, and a distance photograph, taken from 30cm (12 inches) away from your condition.

After taking your close up and distance photographs, you will be asked to select the most appropriate point on your body that your condition is situated. You will then have the option to add any additional photographs which you feel would help the Consultant in their diagnosis.

After you have finished adding photographs, you will be asked to describe your skin problem. This will help our Consultants to more accurately diagnose your condition.

Useful information to provide here includes:

• How long you have had your skin problem
• Any treatments you have tried
• How your condition affects you

Once you have added this information, you will be able to review the photographs and description you have added to make sure the photographs are good quality, and the description is accurate. Once you have ensured this, please press next.

You will now have an opportunity to tell our Consultant about any health problems, medication, and past history of skin disease or allergies you may have. Any additional information you can provide here may help in our Consultants diagnosis of your condition. Once this is complete, please press Finish and Submit Notes.

Thank you for submitting your case to MySkinDoctor. A Consultant Dermatologist will now review the photographs and information you have submitted and you will receive a response to your case within 3 working days.

If you have already submitted a case for review, you will need to go back to your GP for a new referral before you are able to submit additional cases.

Alternatively if you do not wish to revisit your GP for a new referral, you can progress through our Self-Pay service.
