Photographing the bite area weekly for monitoring

Take a dated photo of the bite site every 3-4 days so a clinician can see how the area is evolving rather than relying on memory.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo
  1. 01
    Right after removal, take a clear, well-lit photo of the bite with a coin or ruler for scale.
  2. 02
    Repeat every 3-4 days for the first 30 days, keeping the framing consistent.
  3. 03
    Include the date in the filename or caption (most phones embed this automatically).
  4. 04
    If a ring or patch appears, photograph it daily and outline the edge with a skin-safe pen to track expansion.
  5. 05
    Bring the photo series to any clinical visit; expansion over days is more diagnostic than one snapshot.
