Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, has disrupted different medical disciplines, including dermatology. This review explores the application of ChatGPT in dermatological diagnosis, emphasizing its role in natural language processing (NLP) for clinical data interpretation, differential diagnosis assistance, and patient communication enhancement. ChatGPT can enhance a diagnostic workflow when paired with image analysis tools, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), by merging text and image data. While it boasts great capabilities, it still faces some issues, such as its inability to perform any direct image analyses and the risk of inaccurate suggestions. Ethical considerations, including patient data privacy and the responsibilities of the clinician, are discussed. Future perspectives include an integrated multimodal model and AI-assisted framework for diagnosis, which shall improve dermatology practice.

期刊介绍:
Diagnostics (ISSN 2075-4418) is an international scholarly open access journal on medical diagnostics. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications and short notes on the research and development of medical diagnostics. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodological details must be provided for research articles.
