The AI engine will process the image and return results in seconds.
After analysis, an AI Result Panel appears showing:
| Field | What It Means |

| Clinical Correlation | How well symptoms match clinical scabies patterns |
| Symptom Score | Score based on the symptoms you checked |
| High-Risk Area | Whether the body area is commonly affected by scabies |
