Teledermatology is the delivery of dermatologic health care to remote locations by means of telecommunications and information technology. It facilitates delivery of services by a dermatologist at a different time and place than the patient who receives them. Both real-time videoconferences and store-and-forward systems have proven to be highly reliable and accurate in teledermatologic diagnosis compared to traditional face-to-face diagnosis.

Dear Shahbaz,
Actinic keratoses can be frozen with liquid nitrogen,shaved,treated with 5 fluorouracil cream,or Imiquimod,or photodynamic therapy.Generally in Australia we use liquid nitrogen as it is cheap and effective.
