A method of providing information executed by a computer program interacting with several professionals and with a customer who has provided the photo of a person's skin, hair or nails, including the steps of: the customer acquiring at least one photo of a skin, hair or nails; the customer accessing the program on a computer; the customer subscribing to the text match service; the customer uploading to the program the photo; the customer entering an identification of the body area of which the photo was taken; the program publishing the photo and making it anonymous; the program queuing the photo for reading; a professional retrieving the photo from the queue; the professionals reading the photo and identifying the displayed skin condition; the professionals each matching the photo to two preferred stored texts describing the identified skin condition; the program publishing the photo in combination with the text; the program notifying the customer and the customer displaying the text. A preferred additional step is that of the program providing the customer with a random code to be used to expedite an appointment with a dermatologist in the customer's geographic area.
