The Validation of New Photographic Technology for Assessing Skin Lesions

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of a new photographic technology in a dermatologic setting. The digital picture uses high levels of resolution to look at skin biopsy lesions. These photos will be compared to current standard-of-care with hematoxylin and eosin histologic analysis by board-certified dermatologists.
