About
We hope that the site will prove useful to people across the globe looking for information and help with their skin problems irrespective of skin colour or race. We hope that doctors from different countries will submit images of conditions that may be distinctive of the parts of the world in which they practise because by doing so they will help to spread knowledge of unusual skin diseases worldwide.
All images submitted to the Atlas are automatically reduced in size to 640 x 480 pixels. There is therefore no advantage in submitting images with large file sizes.
The doctors who submit an image are responsible for obtaining their patient’s permission to do so. Copyright for the images is shared jointly by Global Skin Atlas and the submitting doctor. People using this Atlas do so at their own risk. It is not a substitute for proper medical advice.
The Australian Institute of Dermatology runs a variety of courses to teach dermatology to General Practitioners and Dermatopathology to both Pathologists and interested Dermatologists. You can view some of it's courses at the links below.
