Image processing systems and methods for caring for skin features

A method of conducting image processing of skin features, the method comprising:

• receiving from at least one image sensor associated with a mobile communications device a first image of the skin feature, the skin feature having multiple segments of differing colors and differing sizes;
• storing in at least one memory device data associated with the first image for later processing;
• receiving from the at least one image sensor associated with the mobile communications device a second image of the skin feature, wherein the second image is captured at least a day after the first image is captured;
• retrieving from the at least one memory device data associated with the first image;
• analyzing the retrieved data and data associated with the second image to determine a condition of the skin feature based on changes over time of the multiple segments;
• determining, based on the condition of the skin feature, at least one medical action for treating the skin feature during a time period;
• and
• causing the mobile communications device to display information indicative of the determined at least one medical action.

A system for conducting image processing of skin features, the system comprising:

• at least one processor programed to:
• receive from at least one image sensor associated with a mobile communications device a first image of the skin feature, the skin feature having multiple segments of differing colors and differing sizes;
• store in at least one memory device data associated with the first image for later processing;
• receive from the at least one image sensor associated with the mobile communications device a second image of the skin feature, wherein the second image is captured at least a day after the first image is captured;
• retrieve from the at least one memory device data associated with the first image;
• analyze the retrieved data and data associated with the second image to determine a condition of the skin feature based on changes over time of the multiple segments;
