The aim of the first part of the study is to evaluate patients' skin monitoring habits, their knowledge of skin cancer, and their preconceptions about new telemedicine tools such as teledermoscopy. This is a written quantitative questionnaire with answers to tick. An explanatory folder will be given to patients and they will be asked to read it beforehand in order to allow a good understanding of the terms used and the goal of the project. This part will include 70 to 100 patients. The second part of the study is a qualitative study and the aim of it is to evaluate the satisfaction, acceptance and future expectations of those who have benefited from teledermoscopy. Individual and anonymous interviews, lasting 15 to 20 minutes, intended for patients who have benefit of teledermoscopy at the office.

Other: taking macroscopic and dermoscopic pictures of suspicious skin lesions
If there is any diagnostic doubt about a skin lesion, teledermoscopy will be used, if the patient agrees. * A table containing the useful information about the patient for the lesion's analysis will be completed. * The pictures will be taken with a Fotofinder Handyscope. The photos will be integrated into the patient's electronic medical record (CareConnect program). * The photo is anonymized via a serial number assigned by the "Handyscope" application. * Sending photos and information via a secure email address to the dermatologists. * Response from the dermatologist (Prof. Tromme or Dr Harkemanne) in the following days also via email. * Contact (consultation or telephone call depending on the diagnosis) with the patient to communicate the results and the procedure to be followed. * This information (emails containing the dermatological report) will be saved in the patient's computerized medical file (CareConnect program) then deleted from the mailbox
Patient Acceptability Of Teledermoscopy
Using a quantitative survey-type questionnaire * Determination of the patients ' skin monitoring habits * Determination of patients' knowledge of skin cancers and their prevention * Determine their acceptance of new technologies such as teledermoscopy in the context of skin cancer screening * And finally, determination of a target population for whom teledermoscopy could be suitable for the detection of skin cancers (percentage of patients accepting teledermoscopy etc)
Time frame: 20 to 30 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
Patient Satisfaction after a teledermoscopy experience
Assessment of the satisfaction and future expectations of patients who have benefited from teledermoscopy in general practice, using a qualitative study in the form of semi-structured, individual and anonymous interviews
Time frame: 15 to 20 minutes (interview duration)
