Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lasting scars such as keloids and hypertrophic scars adversely affect a patient's quality of life. However, these scars are frequently underdiagnosed because of the complexity of the current diagnostic criteria and classification systems. This study aimed to explore the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT in diagnosing scar conditions and to propose a more accessible and straightforward diagnostic approach.
