The number of dermatology sites on the Internet is growing rapidly and the resources they offer are of great benefit to dermatologists and physicians. The mainstay of dermatologic diagnosis is that of visual inspection and gross morphology, therefore, the use of improved imaging techniques, which allow for the rapid collection, electronic transmission, and indexing of images aids in the accurate recognition and interpretation of skin lesions. The graphic nature of the field of dermatology kindly lends itself to the use of the Internet. The enhanced ability to access information,and share expert opinion worldwide will help lessen inappropriate treatment or delayed referral to an appropriate specialist and facilitate the accurate diagnosis of various dermatologic diseases. Concerns about the quality of data are examined and an evaluation scheme proposed. An overview of available resources is presented along with links to additional resources to aid the reader in the identification of additional sites to explore. Sites were selected with the goal of identifying those that provide a broad range of information worthwhile to the dermatologist and general practitioner. Resources including, but not limited to, image atlases, electronic texts, drug databases, case study archives, laboratory testing, and clinical procedures are examined.
