Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a mole is dangerous?
Watch for the ABCDE signs — Asymmetry, irregular Border, multiple Colours, large Diameter, and Evolving change. Any of these should be seen by a dermatologist.
Can MedDroid look at a photo of my skin?
Yes — attach a clear photo and MedDroid describes what it appears to show and common possibilities. It cannot diagnose; changing or worrying lesions need a dermatologist.
