Face Mole App Assesses for Cancer
If you have a face mole or any other type of mole, this might be helpful for you. I just came across a mobile (smartphone, tablet) app for Android, called SpotMole, that claims it can analyze moles for signs of skin cancer by taking a snapshot or loading an image of a mole.
Then algorithms that mimick the visual dermatological assessment of the assymmetry, border, color, size and evolution of the mole, output an overall result (the mole seems Ok, or seems suspicious or dangerous). There is a full version and a free limited version of the app. that you can get at the Google App. store.
Clearly, this is no substitute for professional dermatologic analysis, but I guess it could help with your periodic self assessment of skin and facial moles!
