If a mole or patch of your skin has changed in color, size, shape, or symptom you better see a dermatologist.
Such changes like those are often signs of skin cancer, and when it comes to cancer you want treatment sooner rather than later..
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are only around 13,000 dermatologists practicing in the country, which is not sufficient to meet the growing demand for their services.
Thought of in another way, this means each dermatologist in the US must over serve 25, 000 patients..
DermView claims that 10,000 patients have been seen at hospitals working with the company that have seen a 40% reduction in dermatology waiting times, and a 98% reduction in 18-month-plus waiting list numbers
There are 46,500 people on the public waiting list for dermatological services, with DermView claiming it could remove 30-50% of patients waiting for treatment from the hospital system, while another 10-15% could be treated by GP with special interest, under consultant guidance
