Snap a clear photo and the app highlights patterns that commonly match acne, eczema, psoriasis, itchy or dry skin, rashes, hives, changing moles, melanoma risk and other dermatology concerns. In seconds you receive plain-language, citation-backed insights you can bring to a clinician.

KEY FEATURES
─────────────────
• Instant skin scan – AI compares your image to trusted dermatology references to flag acne, eczema, psoriasis, rash, hive, mole or melanoma patterns.
• Mole & lesion tracker – save private snapshots locally to watch size, colour and border changes over time.
• Evidence-backed explanations – Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) cites the American Academy of Dermatology, NHS and peer-reviewed journals for every summary.
• HIPAA-aligned pipeline – images are encrypted on device, transferred via TLS, and processed inside a Google Cloud Function covered by our Business Associate Agreement. Data is double-encrypted at rest; app-level controls prevent the developer from viewing user images.
• Zero ads & zero data sale – DermaWhiz does not share or monetise personal health data.
