Photography-assisted skin self-exams
During Melanoma awareness month Miiskin Urges People to Look for New Moles with the 80/20 Reminder for Skin Self-Exams
Miiskin suggests using an 80/20 concept to guide self-exams, reinforcing the fact that roughly 80 percent of melanomas come from new moles and 20 percent come from existing moles. While not a firm rule, it helps remind people that identifying new moles can be particularly important to identifying skin cancer early. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, 70-80 percent of melanomas arise on apparently normal skin, while 20-30 percent of melanomas are found in existing moles.
Miiskin is proud to support The Skin Cancer Foundation
Skin Cancer is the world’s most common cancer, but 99 percent of all cases are curable if they are diagnosed and treated early enough. That’s why The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends adults perform monthly self-exams, in addition to visiting a dermatologist once a year, or more often if you are at a higher risk of skin cancer, for a full-body, professional skin exam.

Mobile apps like Miiskin can be a helpful tool for performing self-exams, and can help you monitor anything new, changing or unusual on your skin that would require professional attention.
The Skin Cancer Foundation appreciates Miiskin’s efforts to make skin cancer early detection a more intuitive process. Together, we can save and improve more lives.
How it works
Monitor existing spots
Examine your existing spots for changes by comparing them side by side over time. Pinpoint the mole or mark on the body map, take a close-up photo and get reminded to follow up.
Look out for new changes
Get wider areas photographed and compare the photos for changes over time with Miiskin’s Web Compare solution. Skin Mapping (live for back photos) can help you compare your photos more effectively.
