Melanoma – the fastest growing cancer in the world – has become a serious threat us all. There are two protections against this disease: (1) Limit your exposure to the sun – remember: there is no evidence sunscreen offers any protection at all against melanoma, and (2) Detect it early. The best chance of detecting it before it becomes a threat to your life is to be examined by a dermatologist and to help your dermatologist by examining yourself regularly.

SkinXM is your skin health headquarters. It will keep you and your loved-ones on schedule for all your skin exams and provide photographic and image analysis tools to help look for the earliest sign of melanoma – a changing mole – that you can bring to your doctor’s attention.

IMPORTANT: Only a dermatologist can diagnose melanoma. SkinXM cannot diagnose, prevent, or treat any disease. It’s just a tool to help you through your self-exam and help you communicate your concerns to your dermatologist. It has not been evaluated by the FDA for any medical purpose and is not, an any way, a substitute for professional dermatological care.

SkinXM features capabilities that:

•Keep you and your entire family on schedule for a skin health regimen.
•Automatically maintain a list of issues to bring to your doctor’s attention, tagged to specific locations on your body, each with a photographic history of the moles.
•Provide image analysis tools to help compare photos and spot change.
•Provide context-sensitive help at every place in the application.

So, please, whether you use SkinXM or not, take the few minutes every month to look yourself over. It may save your life.
