TL;DR: Key Takeaways
- First scan needs no email, no phone number, no account
- Runs in any browser — no App Store or Play Store install
- Works with iCloud Private Relay, VPNs, and privacy browsers
- Photos are not tied to a personal profile unless you opt in
- Nothing sold, no ads, no sharing with employers or insurers
Why "anonymous" actually matters for a skin check
Most skin-check tools want your email before you see a result — some want an app install and notification permissions on top. For a spot you're genuinely worried about, that friction is the reason people put the check off for weeks. An anonymous browser check removes every step between "I'm worried" and "I have a read".
- No email → nothing to unsubscribe from later
- No account → no password to manage, nothing to leak
- No app → no App Store history, no push permissions
- Browser-only → works normally through Private Relay and VPNs
- No employer/insurer sharing — ever
Run a fully anonymous scan
No email, no signup, no app install. First scan free in your browser.
How the anonymous check works
- Open scanskinai.com/mole-checker in any browser
- Take or upload a clear photo of the spot
- AI runs the dermoscopic ABCDE / EFG check in ~30 seconds
- See a plain-language read + escalation guidance
- Optional: create an account later if you want to track changes
What "anonymous" does not mean
Anonymous doesn't mean the AI can diagnose. It doesn't mean you should skip a clinician if a spot is bleeding, painful, changing, or genuinely worrying you. It means the first step — the "should I be worried?" question — is friction-free. If the AI flags something, or if the spot keeps changing, book a professional review. Our clinical review page explains what dermatologist review adds on top.
When an account actually helps
The single anonymous scan is enough to answer "should I be worried right now?". If the honest answer is "I don't know — I need to watch it", one photo doesn't cut it: you need the same spot photographed over weeks so you can see whether it's actually changing. That's when an account becomes useful — not before.
Why one check is rarely enough
A single scan tells you about one spot, on one day. But skin changes are about patterns over time — a new mole appearing, a slow shift in shape, size or colour, or a patch that simply isn't healing. Monitoring the same spots side-by-side, week after week, surfaces the subtle changes a one-off check will always miss — and gives you a clear record to show a clinician if something needs a closer look.
(ScanSkinAI is a screening and monitoring tool, not a diagnosis. Always see a clinician for anything that is changing, bleeding, or worrying you.)

The bottom line
If email walls, app installs, and account signups are the reason you keep putting off checking that spot, do the anonymous version now. Bookmark /mole-checker in your phone browser, take the photo, get the read. If it needs following, an account is one tap away — but the first check should never be gated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Your first scan requires no email, no phone number and no account. The photo is processed to give you a result and is not tied to a personal profile unless you choose to create one later.
No. The anonymous skin check runs entirely in your browser on any modern phone or laptop. There is no App Store or Play Store install, and no permission prompt for contacts, location, or notifications.
Yes. Because the check runs client-side in your browser, it works normally through Private Relay, VPNs, and privacy-focused browsers. You do not need to disable any privacy protection to use it.
The first scan is processed for the result you see and is not saved to a personal history unless you create an account and opt in. Nothing is sold, shared with employers, or shared with insurers.
Yes. The first scan is fully usable with no email required. Email is only requested if you decide later that you want to save scans, track changes over time, or receive results by email.
Our AI uses the same dermoscopic ABCDE / EFG framework a dermatologist uses for flat moles and raised bumps. It is a triage and monitoring tool, not a diagnosis — it helps you decide whether a spot needs professional review.
Results include plain-language guidance on when to escalate. If the AI flags a concerning feature, we recommend booking a clinician review. The tool does not replace a dermatologist visit.
You can run multiple anonymous scans in the same browser session. If you want to compare the same spot over weeks or months, an account is helpful — but it is optional, not required.
