Describe before naming.
The goal is not just to memorize a single photo. The goal is to build a repeatable diagnostic habit: observe the pattern, compare it across skin tones, and distinguish it from similar conditions.
Diagnose, compare, recognize.
Dermatordle has two short phases. First, make a diagnosis from a clinical image and progressive clues. Then, identify the same disease in a new image among look-alike distractors.
1
Study the image first.
Before searching, describe the morphology, distribution, scale, pigment change, scarring, and inflammation you see.
2
Submit a diagnosis.
Use the search bar to choose a diagnosis. Each incorrect guess reveals another clinical clue.
3
Compare across skin tones.
After 3 attempts, a comparison image unlocks. Use it to refine what features are consistent across presentations.
4
Recognize the pattern again.
After the diagnosis is revealed, select the matching image from a grid of look-alikes and review the distractor feedback.
