Abstract
Cutaneous surveillance has been well described as an effective method for early detection of melanoma.1-5 An important aid to this screening process is baseline cutaneous photography. This has been reported to be an efficient method of detecting changes that are suggestive of melanoma and as a means to minimize unnecessary surgery.1,3,5,6Keywords
