The My VA Images mobile application (app) allows Veterans to virtually follow up with their VA care team by submitting photos and/or videos at a provider’s request. You can submit comments with your photos and videos and review optional comments from your provider in response to your submissions. When a provider sends a request for photos/videos, you can use My VA Images to upload general images or videos, as well as specific dermatology images.
