What does the tool do?

DermDiag is an online tool developed by DermNet to help you understand your skin condition. It is intended for educational purposes and doesn't provide medical advice.

By answering a series of questions, and with images to help you along, you are shown a selection of common skin conditions with the characteristics you have chosen.  Although the tool doesn't provide clinical guidance, it helps you to talk to your doctor and to learn more about your skin condition.

For the complete description, go to the website or, for a more detailed review, see Reviews.
