Participants valued the convenience of home-based skin checks, reassurance from expert feedback delivered via teledermatology and increased access to dermatology care. Family or partner support helped participants use the technology and examine hard-to-see areas, which increased confidence and adherence to the intervention. Barriers to skin self-examination included physical limitations, low confidence, and difficulties using the app or dermatoscope. Regional participants noted that teledermatology could potentially help reduce travel costs, provided additional clinic visits were not prompted by the teledermatology. Participants suggested that clear instructions and face-to-face training would facilitate uptake in practice, and that help from health professionals may also be beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tailored instructions, training, and technical assistance may help underserved groups use patient-led melanoma surveillance and improve their access to dermatological care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x261457782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T04:27:37Z","timestamp":1783052857000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experiences of patient-led melanoma surveillance and teledermatology in underserved groups in the Melanoma Self-Surveillance Trial: A qualitative sub-study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5384-6515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priti","family":"Kharel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4458-9782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ellie","family":"Medcalf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4089-7823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deonna","family":"Ackermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8394-2682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jake","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"},{"name":"Heat and Health Research Centre, Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5225-6639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jolyn","family":"Hersch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"},{"name":"The Daffodil Centre, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1281-3449","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhuohan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1728-8085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Janda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Services Research, Faculty of Health, Medicine &amp; Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2893-5863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorothy","family":"Drabarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6059-8901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrian","family":"Fann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0137-3218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katy","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.15688"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","unstructured":"Cancer Council Australia.
