Patient self-exploration has proven a useful action in early melanoma diagnosis. Different reports show endorse that awareness and self-control campaigns allow for finer melanoma detection, and thus, of better prognosis (McWirther and Hoffman-Goetz, 2013; Yagerman and Marghoob, 2013; Lee, Weinstock and Risica, 2008; Oliviera and colleagues, 2004). Self control can be optimized by performing photographies in a protocoled way (Mitchell and Leslie, 2013). Having a tool such as FotoSkin will allow any person to have a photographic register of its cutaneous marks, that will be of great utility on dermatologic checkups, helping him or her to precociously diagnose dangerous injuries (Shenoy, Molenda and Mostow, 2014).
