 Welcome to the Cochrane Skin Pictures of Skin Diseases Project Page 

Aim
To increase the number of photos of human skin diseases appearing in the Cochrane Library and Wikipedia.

Objective
To increase the number of photos of skin disease, including those of skin of different colours, in each Cochrane Skin Systematic Review and Wikipedia Skin disease article.

Approach
We will solicit skin disease pictures from Cochrane Skin consumers globally for addition to Cochrane Skin Systematic Reviews in the Cochrane Library and Wikipedia via the social media outreach. Pictures will need to be of acceptable quality as judged by our medical and technical experts and come with:
 * a) appropriate permission to post the picture(s) and
 * b) information that supports the diagnosis of the disease (such as a biopsy pathology report).

 * 1) Epidermoid cyst/Epidermal Inclusion Cyst

 * 2) Still shots are required, jpeg format seems to work well.
