The application works in a simple way. First of all, you have to launch this tool on your mobile device and use the camera to photograph the skin area that you think is affected.

Afterwards, the app will ask a series of questions related to your skin type, as well as the symptoms you've experienced to rule out possible conditions.

Finally, the tool will link your answers and your photographs to possible dermatological diseases that fit your parameters. This app is currently unavailable, but it is expected to be released before the end of the year.

Features of dangerous spots on the skin

It is common for us to have spots on the skin that we are born with, or others that develop over time. However, there are certain stains that we must be careful with, as they can be dangerous. Some of these spots that can lead to skin cancer are:

Squamous cell carcinoma: grows quickly and usually appears in areas that tend to be exposed to the sun. It can appear in different ways, like a lump or a crusty sore.
Malignant Melanoma: It is a type of skin cancer that usually appears in a mole. They are asymmetrical, stand out with a reddish or white color, have jagged edges, and can change shape or size.
Basal cell carcinoma: it is very common and grows slowly. It usually stands out for appearing like a sore that doesn't heal, having pink or poorly defined edges, like a scar, or for being a kind of translucent nodule.

It is important to remember that neither artificial intelligence nor Internet information should replace human knowledge.

While this tool can be used to identify potential illnesses, it is not a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis or advice. Therefore, even if we use health-related artificial intelligence applications like this one, we should always consult an expert for a safe diagnosis.
