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.

Oral griseofulvin combined with topical steroids have been found effective to treat cases of generalised LP in my experience. Do you often see such cases in India, Jayakar? Oral steroids alone or in combination with griseofulvin have also been found effective. I am not sure about the role of griseofulvin here, may be it has some immunomodulatory effects. Any thoughts?
