“If you have fair skin or burn easily, have had sunburns in the past or used tanning beds, or have a family history of melanoma, you are considered high-risk, and so it’s even more important,” Sabel added.
“Whole body photography is a well-established resource for following patients at risk for melanoma, (the most dangerous form of skin cancer),” said Sabel.
“We recommend skin self-exams for everyone in order to detect skin cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment is less invasive and more successful,” said Michael Sabel, associate professor of surgery at the Michigan Medical School, who led the project to develop the app.
“However, it requires a professional photographer, is not always covered by insurance, and can be an inconvenience. Now that many people have digital cameras on their phones, it’s more feasible to do this at home,” added Sabel.
