From Seeing to Understanding: The Visibility Paradox in Dermatology

Ahmet Uğur Atılan, Ahmet Metin

ABSTRACT

Visible skin disease can generate premature confidence that diagnosis, patient burden, and management are already understood. We propose the visibility paradox as a testable framework linking diagnostic, burden, and management compression to failures to progress from seeing, through listening, to understanding.
