If your worried about a mole and don't want to go to the doctors about it and feel silly, Then download a app on the iPhone called skin vision, its a good app that detects melanoma, there's 3 different levels low medium and high, I admit I have probs scammed every mole I can physically do but now I feel a lot more at ease I often focus on one of my moles that's irregular shape and fairly dark I've showed a doctor and they said they not concerned due to the color but you know what it's like with health anxiety lol I have checked it a few times this week and it's been ok now I said to myself cannot check for another week, I highly recommend it and it can save your life you can also save your picture so can check if there's any growing change

I'm glad it helps you but having apps and devices promotes self checking which is not something you want to be doing. In reality, it's just a reassurance tool, feeds the dragon and promotes OCD behaviors common with HA.

It's an application for a smartphone, not a doctor and quite frankly is no different than consulting Dr. Google. Read the disclaimer:

Nuff said.

Go to the doctors is my advise. It will take all of 20 seconds to get reassurance.

yeah true btu if you do the research on it it is good, Of corse always get doctors advice but then that can give u reasurance for some people epseically people who have to pay to go to the doctor, obviously i didnt trust my mole so i showed the doctor, But it said same thing as the app
