CheckMySpot is a free iPhone app developed by CheckMySpot Inc. that allows users to evaluate potential skin cancers quickly and conveniently. With CheckMySpot, users can submit a photo of a single skin lesion and have it reviewed by a board-certified dermatologist withinhours.

Once the skin spot is screened, the dermatologist will provide one of three dispositions. A green disposition indicates that the spot is benign, and no clinic visit is needed at this time. However, users should monitor the spot for future changes. A yellow disposition indicates that the spot is indeterminate and warrants a non-urgent clinic visit. Finally, a red disposition suggests that the spot demonstrates characteristics of skin cancer and requires an urgent clinic visit.

If a user receives a yellow or red disposition, CheckMySpot will expedite a referral to either their existing dermatologist or a qualified dermatologist in their area. The app is easy to use, requiring users to download it, complete their medical profile, upload a photo, and get an expert opinion.

Early detection is crucial when it comes to skin cancer, and CheckMySpot allows users to get immediate answers about their skin spots from the convenience of their own homes.
