What the Written Opinion Contains
- Most likely diagnosis (and any close differentials)
- Confidence level and any limitations of a photo-only review
- Recommended next steps: self-care, over-the-counter treatment, or referral
- Urgency: routine, 2–4 weeks, urgent, or same-day
- What to ask for at an in-person visit if referral is advised
- Signed and dated by the reviewing dermatologist
What's Different vs a Free AI Prediction
A free AI prediction is a single-image screening result delivered instantly, in your browser, with no clinician in the loop. It's excellent triage — great for deciding whether to escalate — but it is not a clinical opinion.
The $19.99 review adds a human dermatologist reviewing your photos and answers, and returning a signed written opinion. Many users run the free AI check first and only pay for a human review when the AI flags something concerning.
Privacy
- No name, address, phone, or medical record linkage required
- Email is used only to deliver the secure report link
- Photos and form data are encrypted at rest and in transit
- You can request deletion of your case data at any time
When to Use the Standard vs Express Tier
- Standard 48h ($19.99): non-urgent — long-standing acne, chronic eczema, mole triage where no red flags
- Express 8h ($39.99): recent onset, spreading rash, changing mole, before a scheduled clinic visit

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.)
