What We Do
This app helps users to keep track of potentially dangerous skin spots. One of the key indicators of possible skin cancer is a change in appearance of a mole or spot. People are not good at remembering what a spot looked like 3 months ago. This app enables easy comparison, which facilitates early intervention.
Features: 1) Take photos periodically of different spots and keep track of them using a convenient body-oriented interface.
2) Select and compare side-by-side two images taken at different times of the same spot.
3) Email the two images to a doctor (or other person).
(You might need to open the store in a new window.)

Notes
- There are many different types of skin cancer. You probably have heard of malignant melanoma, which is a highly dangerous cancer and needs immediate treatment. Some cancers are slow growing and may not need treatment.
- There are many normal reasons why a spot might change appearance and a change does not mean cancer. Similarly, an existing spot could become cancerous without much change to its appearance.
- You should see your doctor if there is anything about a spot that worries you.
- Sun exposure is a major factor in skin cancer. Always use appropriate skin protection.
- The developers assume no liability for the use of the app nor any decisions that people make based on the use of the app.
