MySkinSelfie is a mobile phone application for skin self-monitoring, enabling secure sharing of patient-captured images with healthcare providers. This retrospective study assessed MySkinSelfie's role in remote skin cancer assessment at two centres for urgent (melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma) and nonurgent skin cancer referrals, investigating the feasibility of using patient-captured images without dermoscopy for remote diagnosis. The total number of lesions using MySkinSelfie was 814, with a mean patient age of 63 years.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of patients using smartphone attachments to capture dermoscopic images for skin lesion triage, as interest in teledermatology remains low in the UK despite advances in smartphone camera technology.
  • It involved 78 patients who took dermoscopic and macroscopic images of their skin lesions, which were then assessed by five blinded dermatology consultants to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment pathway.
  • The results showed 100% sensitivity for diagnosing melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma, with high specificity and an overall diagnostic accuracy of 77%, suggesting that smartphone-captured images could enhance the triage process for skin lesions.
