Mobile phone pictures used to diagnose STDs online

The Mirror reports that embarrassing sex diseases can now be diagnosed by pictures sent from mobile phones.

"People too shy to visit an STD clinic can upload images of their intimate problems - and get an almost instant medical opinion. The pioneering service allows men and women to reveal worrying lumps or rashes without the ordeal of a face-to-face consultation.

The pictures will be examined by doctors, who will send out any advice or prescription by post or email."
