The photos you take with the Miiskin app are yours and you can therefore use them in any way you wish. But at this time we can’t make any explicit recommendation that the photos taken with the Miiskin app should be used in a clinical setting. We recommend following your doctor’s directions regarding any moles or marks on your skin and how to use the Miiskin app.

Yes. The Miiskin app is dermatologically endorsed by the Skin Health Alliance and frequently recommended by dermatologists and other skin cancer professionals. A critical motivation for recommending the Miiskin app is that it is clear that the app does not replace a medical check.

You can read our guide here.

The app is recommended for patients who need to keep track of their skin and are advised to perform regular skin self-exams at home – after or in-between medical consultations.

The app also includes educational materials for general education and skin cancer awareness and a video guide on How to perform a skin self-exam.
