I fully realize how the title makes it sound like I'm trying to get into the onlyfans business, but this is actually a health matter, believe it or not.
You see, I want to start screening myself for potential melanomas. I won't go into uncalled-for detail, but some of the moles on my body feel suspicious by the accepted A-B-C-D-E identification criteria ("feel" as in weird shape/elevation), so I want to track them photographically and note down any changes.
I need a webcam with good quality (enough to see fine details like skin texture and such) that comes some kind of short, telescoping pole that I can use to look at my back and the back of my neck and head and note down any changes, and preferably some way to adjust focus from my PC. The idea is that I would connect it to my computer, open some program and, while looking at my monitor, extend the camera and scan those hard to reach spots. I'm not looking for anything super professional and high-end, but given that this concerns my health, my budget here is very flexible. I would dearly appreciate any advice on the manner.
Btw, If you're wondering why I'm not just going to a dermatologist to get some preventative screening, I tried that. 4 times. None of them wanted to even look at me, telling me that I should only come to them if I tracked those moles myself and noticed any changes, apparently unable to comprehend the notion that I might not be able to easily see them because they're on my back and that keeping track of fine details like shape and color is very difficult without a camera (by the way - this was my idea, not theirs - they suggested nothing). I fear that they might also expect me to operate on myself if I do find anything they consider noteworthy.
