Quality healthcare is a major challenge around the world, particularly in developing countries, and this concern applies to dermatology as well. Many communities in such environments lack adequate medical infrastructure leaving behind patients in dire need to get treatments.  Many people with skin conditions either do not receive treatment or wait so long that their symptoms worsen, which drastically reduces their quality of life. Artificial intelligence (AI) could be a viable solution for this concern.AI-based tools, particularly picture recognition algorithms, can detect common dermatological illnesses. AI-powered smartphone apps can also allow patients to upload photos of their skin problems and receive treatments. Moreover, AI-powered telemedicine solutions can eliminate the need for city-based specialists by enabling general practitioners in remote areas to get prompt support. This model has the potential to be scaled and replicated in resource-limited areas, effectively addressing the dermatological care gap through digital health technologies. The focus should be placed on the cost and accessibility of these technologies to bridge the gap between underserved populations and their necessary treatments.
