Abstract
Systems and methods for image processing of a skin feature may include receiving from at least one image sensor associated with a mobile communications device a first and a second images of a skin feature. The skin feature has multiple segments of differing colors and differing sizes, and the second image is captured at least a day after the first image is captured. The method may further include analyzing data associated with the first and second images to determine a condition of the skin feature based on changes over time of the multiple segments. The method may also include determining, based on the determined condition of the skin feature, a medical action for treating the skin feature during a time period. Then, the method may include causing a mobile communications device to display information indicative of the determined medical action.
