INTRODUCTION
Telemedicine provides an audio-visual means of remote practise of medicine. Patients can communicate remotely with health care workers (HCWs) via telephone or via internet facilities at the comfort of their homes or within designated places in the community or hospital premises. Clinical images of lesions can be taken at home by the patients or relations which can be shared with physicians to aid accurate diagnosis. It has been shown that images acquired by HCWs and non-HCWs are equally effective for adequate clinical diagnosis comparable with conventional face-to-face clinical evaluation1, although, some specific examination and evaluation are not currently supported by telemedicine.2 Nonetheless, telemedicine has been employed in the care of patients without direct physical contact with HCWs or in remote areas where HCWs are not available.3,4
