Reviewer’s comments  2nd February 2022

Title could be more precise  eg

Teledermatology and face to face dermatology. An analysis of cost effectiveness from  eight studies from Europe and the USA   The word conventional could be replaced with Face to face  as indications are that soon TD will be the conventional method of interaction.   Abstract could  mention the countries from which the 8 papers were analysed. The title should also reflect this as suggested     The exact period – start date and end date  when the study was carried out should be highlighted.     The paper confirms with data, a generally accepted observation that teledermatology is cost effective , convenient and accepted by the consultant and the beneficiary. Eight articles were included which provided information on 16,539 patients [including 4 cost-minimization or saving analyses, 3 cost-effectiveness analyses, and 1 cost-utility]
