Google lens can detect skin conditions on your phone, kinda, maybe, probably not

Google Lens just got a new feature to detect skin conditions. According to the blog post, "take a picture or upload a photo through Lens, and you'll find visual matches to inform your search. This feature also works if you're not sure how to describe something else on your body, like a bump on your lip, a line on your nails or hair loss on your head". It's obviously available on Android phones, but also on iOS via the Google app. I just tried it out on a wart on my arm and it didn't do a damn thing, just dumped me in an image search of other weird looking skin conditions from the internet, many with links to pages not in English. Useless.
