About DermDescribe - Built by Healthcare Professionals

I'm Catherine, an Emergency Medicine registrar in Australia. Like a lot of clinicians, I've spent too many shifts staring at a patch of skin thinking, "How do I describe this quickly and properly?"

The Problem with Dermatology Documentation

Skin findings are common and deceptively hard to document well under pressure. It's easy to write something vague, skip size because there's no ruler in frame, forget distribution, or drift into diagnosis when what we actually need is an objective description.

Time-Saving Challenges for Doctors

That slows continuity of care and makes referrals messy—between ED and GP, telehealth and in-person review, and especially when you're asking dermatology for advice. This dermatology app solves those problems.

What This Dermatology Documentation Tool Does

DermDescribe turns a de-identified skin lesion photo plus a few details (site, laterality, ruler present) into clean clinical documentation you can paste straight into your electronic medical record.

Professional Skin Documentation Features

The wording sticks to morphology, borders, surface and distribution—what's visible—so your notes are clear and reproducible. Perfect for rash documentation and skin lesion photography.

How This Dermatology App Works Daily

Upload a cropped, de-identified image; we compress it automatically so you don't have to. You get a concise paragraph on the free tier, and a more detailed output on the paid tier.

Privacy-First Skin Documentation

Images live in a temporary workspace that auto-deletes after five minutes for privacy. Your generated text is saved to your personal dashboard so you can copy it into the EMR, label it for later, or delete it entirely.

Free vs Professional Dermatology App Plans

The free plan gives you 3 uploads per month with a tight paragraph output—perfect for trying the workflow or occasional cases.

Professional Features for Busy Doctors

The paid plan is USD $9.99 / month and includes unlimited uploads plus detailed output with structured fields (lesion type, size method, colour terms, borders, surface, distribution and "not assessable" flags) to make follow-up and audit simple.

Who Uses This App

DermDescribe is built for busy primary-healthcare clinicians—ED, general practice, urgent care, telehealth and community nursing.

Dermatology Terminology Made Simple

It smooths the conversation with dermatology by using standard dermatology terminology that travels across specialties and seniority levels. Trainee or consultant, the goal is the same: objective notes the next person can trust.

What This Dermatology Documentation Tool Is Not

It is not a diagnostic tool and it won't tell you what to treat. DermDescribe describes what's visible for documentation. Good notes support clinical decisions without over-reaching.

Privacy, Security and Compliance for Skin Documentation

DermDescribe is designed for de-identified images only—crop to the lesion with a small margin and avoid faces, eyes, distinctive tattoos or private anatomy.

HIPAA Compliant Rash Photography

Images are handled transiently and deleted after five minutes. We use encrypted transport and workflows aligned with HIPAA, GDPR and Australia's APPs. Your organisation's policies always apply; obtain consent where required.

Trusted by Clinicians Worldwide

Doctors and nurses across emergency care, GP, urgent care, paediatrics, telehealth and dermatology use DermDescribe to save time and standardise their notes. The output is EMR-ready and travels cleanly in referrals and handovers.

Why This Time-Saving Tool Matters

I built DermDescribe because I wanted skin notes that read clearly at 3 am, at handover, and in clinic letters—without adding minutes to every encounter. If it saves you time, improves a referral, or makes a follow-up comparison obvious, it's doing its job.
