"Got a mole that looks kinda weird? Don&amp;#x27;t just sit there staring at it, whip out your iPhone and do something about it. That&amp;#x27;s right--there&amp;#x27;s now an app for that, one that tells you whether a mole is totally normal or potentially cancerous. I know lots of you have had skin cancer scares, so I&amp;#x27;m interested to hear what you think about Skin Scan. This iPhone app uses a proprietary algorithm to gauge whether a mole is totally un-noteworthy or has the potential to become a melanoma. Using the archive feature, you can also store photos of your moles so you can more accurately track their growth and development over time. If the app determines that a mole is a &amp;quot;red alert&amp;quot;, it even helps you locate a doctor in your area who can check it out and render an official diagnosis. Sounds pretty slick, right? Still, I&amp;#x27;m a little dubious about trusting something life-or-death to a cell phone, however &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot;. My husband (who has plenty of suspicious moles to investigate) bought the Skin Scan app and is finding it challenging to take the pics according to their very precise requirements; I&amp;#x27;ll give you his full review soon. What do you guys think about the idea of an iPhone app that can ID skin cancer? Would you trust it? Are any of you thinking of downloading the Skin Scan app?
