Scope of this template
My goal in creating this template was to provide a systematic algorithm for diagnosis of skin diseases based on lesion morphology. I wanted to include all the "common" skin diseases, and a handful of uncommon ones in a format more user-friendly as compared with the {{

- I added some wikilinks from the section titles (blister, papule, etc.) Try to make some of the jargon clearer by giving links that explains it. (Didn't add the template to the pages since in the titles rather than contents of the template.)
