The medical description or study of the skin and its diseases, including visual documentation of skin conditions.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) and 'graphia' (writing or description). This term combines the root for skin with the concept of writing about or recording, reflecting how dermatologists document skin conditions through description and imagery.
Modern dermatography now includes digital photography and AI analysis to track skin conditions over time—what used to be hand-drawn medical sketches is now high-resolution 3D imaging that helps doctors catch changes in moles or lesions before they become dangerous.
