This research study will determine how a smart phone application (app) for total body photography outlier analysis compares to a dermatologist's decision to biopsy skin lesions.
Informed written consent will be obtained by all study subjects. Each participant will be asked to generate a unique identifier, so their demographic data, medical intake, and study assessments can be stored without any patient identifiers. The unique identifier is the participant's 2-digit day of birth, first 3 initials of their mother's maiden name, and the 4 digits of their birth year. All clinical data will be entered into a de- identified database. Demographic information including age, gender, ethnicity, collected via medical intake survey at the initial visit. Data from the survey will be associated only with the patient's unique identifiers.
