WELCOME TO CHECK MY MOLE
Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, but it is almost entirely preventable. Our mission is to save lives through education, early detection, and awareness.
About Us
We recognize that skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally, but approximately 90% of cases can be prevented through simple sun safety measures. It is also the only cancer that we can visibly observe as it develops in its early stages. When detected, diagnosed, and treated early, skin cancer is nearly always curable. Education plays a crucial role in fighting this disease at local, national, and global levels. We have designed The Check My Mole App to equip users of all skin types with the tools, guidance, and advice they need to take control of their skin health and monitoring. By doing so, we aim to reverse
the rising rates of skin cancer and SAVE LIVES.

ABCDE – Dangerous signs of moles
A – Asymmetry
If you look at a melanoma mole, the halves don’t match. The left edge may be shaped differently than the right edge, or one side of your mole might be darker than the other side.
B – Border
Melanomas have an irregular-shaped border; the border may be blurred, jagged, notched, or scalloped.
C- Color
Moles that contain different colors may be melanoma. You might see several shades of brown or tan mixed with patches of black. Larger melanomas can develop patches of blue, pink, red, or white.
D – Diameter or Dark
Moles that are larger than one-quarter inch (the diameter of a pencil eraser) could be melanoma. Be on the alert if one mole is significantly darker than your other moles.
E – Evolving
Evolving means changing or progressing — in size, shape, or color, or it becomes itchy or begins bleeding.
Life-Saving Technology!
I can’t thank this app enough! I had a suspicious mole that I had been ignoring, but after scanning it with the app, it flagged it as potentially concerning. I saw a dermatologist, and it turned out to be early stage melanoma. This app may have saved my life! Highly recommend it for anyone concerned about their skin health.
