研究概览
简要总结
In France, there is usually a long delay (approximately 6 weeks) before a general practitioner can obtain a specialized advice by dermatologists for diagnosis of "unusual" dermatologic conditions of their patients.
Previous studies have shown that teledermatology is a reliable way for diagnosis in dermatology.
We hypothesize that a teledermatology advice could reduce delay before diagnosis and therefore treatment for patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Delay before expertise by a dermatologist
时间窗: 3 months
Delay, in days, between a patient's consultation with his general practitioner and expertise by a dermatologist (teledermatology or classic consultation) that allows either diagnostic and/or initiation of treatment. For example: in the teledermatology group, if the specialist needs to see the patient because the photographs cannot be analyzed correctly, date of expertise is the date of the consultation with the dermatologist. Data is censured after 3 months.
次要结局
- Patient's satisfaction(1 month after expertise by dermatologist)
