Google Lens, the augmented reality (AR) feature that can identify objects and text in the real world, has added a new ability to identify skin conditions. This means that you can now use Google Lens to take a picture of a skin blemish and have Google identify the condition for you. This can be a helpful way to get a diagnosis for a skin condition without having to go to the doctor.

To use Google Lens to identify a skin condition, open the Google Lens app and point your phone's camera at the affected area of skin. Google Lens will then scan the area and identify any potential skin conditions. If Google Lens is unable to identify the condition, it will provide you with a list of possible conditions that match the image. You can then use this information to decide whether to see a doctor.
