Does Skintinel tell me if a mole is cancer?

No. You may arrive with that question. We will not answer it. The useful question is whether it looks different from last time. Skintinel does not diagnose or score a spot. What that means medically is a question for a dermatologist who can examine you.

How is this different from just using my camera roll?

You can use your camera roll. A photo there is easy to take and hard to compare later. Skintinel keeps the pair in one history and checks the frame before you save it.

Why does the second photo matter?

The first photo is a record. Value starts when the next photo of the same spot sits beside it, with dates. You or your doctor look at both.

Why photograph if the visit is 36 days away?

So you do not walk in empty-handed. The first dated frame is already a record for this visit. The second frame makes a pair later. Do not delay the visit for a second frame: if a spot bleeds, itches, or changes fast - see a doctor, not the camera.

What does the app check before I save a photo?

The app checks the frame before you save it: focus, angle, distance. If something is off, it says so and offers a retake. It does not score the spot.

When should I come back for the next photo?

A dermatologist would set the interval. There is no dermatologist in this version, so the app names a next date and sets a reminder. That default exists so you return.

When can a clinician read my photos in the app?

Not in this version. Export a PDF and take it yourself.

Can I photograph my back without a second person?

Not in this version. Photos of spots you cannot see in a mirror are not built yet.

Where do my photos go?

Photos you take in Skintinel stay in the app on your iPhone. They do not go to your camera roll. This version has no account and no cloud storage: a photo leaves the phone only when you export it, for example as a PDF. If iCloud Backup is on for your iPhone, iOS may include app data in that backup.

Three photos free. No card. No paywall before the third photo. Waitlist lock is $29.99 / year or $95.99 lifetime. After launch the app offers three plans: $9.99 / week, $49.99 / year, and $159.99 one-time. App Store prices, including which plans renew, will be on the Skintinel page before you install. A clinician reading is not in this version and is not part of the subscription.

What if a spot is changing quickly, bleeding, or itching?

If a mole is bleeding, itching, growing fast, or has changed in a matter of weeks - do not photograph it. Book a doctor. This app is for observation, not emergencies. In an emergency, call 911.
