Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide our patient users with a superior quality and convenient asynchronous teledermatology screening service. We will improve access to qualified dermatology care with this service by utilizing advances in cell phone cameras and software technology to provide our patient users with a screening disposition for a skin spot of concern within 24-48 hours. Our goal is two-fold. One is to reduce weeks of unnecessary patient user anxiety about benign appearing spots. The second is to expedite an “in-clinic” appointment with a user’s own dermatologist or a certified dermatologist nearby in the event a spot appears worrisome for skin cancer. CheckMySpot appreciates that early detection matters in improving patient outcomes and has made reducing delays in obtaining “in-person” clinic visits for diagnosis and treatment a service objective.

The CheckMySpot service is committed to full adherence to the high standards of teledermatology set forth by the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Telemedicine Association. CheckMySpot fully supports the premise that ultimately there is no substitute for an “in-person” clinic exam as well as the American Academy of Dermatology’s recommendation that all persons receive an annual “in-person” complete skin exam. Accurate and expedited screening of skin lesions is our top priority because we recognize that early detection matters to improve patient outcomes and save lives.

Screening Made Simple

Early detection makes all the difference.

Skin cancer is a serious issue. The good news? Many skin lesions are benign. But even in malignant cases, early detection is a powerful tool. When detected early, the 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 99%. Get the reassurance and, if necessary, the follow-up care you need right away when you screen with CheckMySpot.

Take away the hassles of scheduling and waiting.

Dermatology appointments usually take weeks or months to schedule. With the CheckMySpot app, a photo of your suspicious skin lesion is screened by an experienced dermatologist within 24 hours. If your screener determines that a dermatology visit is needed, CheckMySpot refers you to a nearby dermatologist the very same week.

Care whenever it’s convenient for you.

It’s impossible to predict when you’ll need an expert opinion. Five minutes out of your day is all it takes to submit a photo for screening from the comfort of home – no driving, doctor’s offices, or stress. Plus, zero insurance hoops to jump through: a one-time fee of $70 is charged for screening.

    I am a father of two, soon to be three and frequently on the road with my work. My wife was very concerned about a spot on my back that I couldn’t see. It was 6 weeks before I could get in to my dermatologist. We used the CheckMySpot service and within a day or two we received the great news that this spot appeared ok. We just can’t take chances with our health. We were so relieved and pleased. This is such a great service for families like ours!

    In using “CheckMySpot,” the quick turn around and help from the dermatology provider was great. With our busy schedules, being able to take a picture and send it right over is so convenient. It is also very comforting to know that the professional staff takes great care in analyzing your “spot” and giving you guidance on what to do next. We will be using this again in the future!

    I am thrilled to learn that CheckMySpot will launch in early 2023. I am confident it will improve access to important dermatological screening services that are high quality and convenient. Quite a few years ago I noticed a very small spot on my left forearm. The spot was smaller than a pinhead and to my untrained eye looked no different than a freckle. I reached out to CheckMySpot and their provider asked me to use my smartphone to send a photo of the spot. Thank goodness I did! After reviewing the photo, the CheckMySpot team urged me to make an appointment with my local dermatologist. The spot turned out to be a small melanoma caught early and removed, thanks to CheckMySpot’s assessment of the photo I sent.

    Although my mom received adequate care at her senior living facility, getting her to an off-site physician’s appointment took a lot of preparation and expense. When I noticed a new skin spot on her forehead, I was concerned about a cancer. Her caregiver told me about CheckMySpot. I used the service and heard within a day that the spot was worrisome for skin cancer. This made my decision to take time off work and arrange transportation to her dermatologist easier knowing an appointment was truly necessary. Just a minor procedure was required to fix the problem. I love this service. Highest recommendations!

    My experience with CheckMySpot has been great!!! As a full-time working wife and mother, I am constantly on-the-go and find it hard to schedule doctor’s appointments. It is so convenient to have the option of sending a picture of a concerning mole or lesion and receive a quick response as to whether I need an in person examination, or if my spot is nothing to worry about! Thank you for such a wonderful service - I plan on using it in the future for myself and my family.

  • Vanessa M.

    I was very pleased with the quick response to my inquiry with the CheckMySpot professionals. What a relief to find out that the new skin lesion I was worried about was benign. It was so convenient to use my phone from home to contact a doctor rather than spend a day away from work in an office. I highly recommend using this service!

  • Wendy T.

    I cannot recommend this service strongly enough! On two separate occasions, my family members had skin lesions that warranted attention. I quickly submitted photos and received prompt responses. One lesion ended up being benign, which relieved our worries. The other lesion, a basal cell carcinoma, required treatment. CheckMySpot quickly referred me to my dermatologist where I received the care I needed and the outcome was successful! I was very happy with this service and will use again.

    The CheckMySpot app is a helpful innovation in healthcare because it improves accessibility to dermatologists. The benefit is twofold: with a decrease in the number of patient visits for lesions that don’t require treatment, more appointments are available for people with serious skin lesions. Secondly, for patients with skin cancer, a recommendation for prompt evaluation aids in early detection. Following the easy instructions, I have submitted a photo of a mole that, thankfully, was classified as benign. The process was convenient and my family’s anxiety was quickly eased. I did not have to be unproductive or risk being exposed to infection while waiting in the doctor’s office. I plan to watch carefully for any new skin lesions on my family members and me in the future. I will not hesitate to use CheckMySpot again.
