Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SkinAI
What is SkinAI?
SkinAI is an educational tool that uses artificial intelligence to analyze images of skin lesions. Our AI models can help identify potential skin conditions, but the service is not intended to replace professional medical advice or diagnosis.
Is SkinAI free to use?
Yes, SkinAI is currently free to use. We believe in making skin health education accessible to everyone.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
Our models have been trained on large datasets of dermatological images. MobileNetV2 has approximately 74% accuracy on the HAM10000 dataset, while EfficientNetB0 has about 69% accuracy on skin cancer classification. However, AI analysis should never replace professional medical diagnosis.
What types of skin conditions can SkinAI detect?
Our AI models can analyze seven types of skin lesions:
- Actinic keratoses (akiec)
- Basal cell carcinoma (bcc)
- Benign keratosis-like lesions (bkl)
- Dermatofibroma (df)
- Melanoma (mel)
- Melanocytic nevi (nv)
- Vascular lesions (vasc)
What image formats are supported?
SkinAI supports JPG, JPEG, and PNG image formats. For best results, upload clear, well-lit images with the skin lesion centered in the frame.
Can SkinAI diagnose skin cancer?
No, SkinAI cannot provide medical diagnoses. Our AI models can analyze skin lesions and provide information about potential conditions, but this should be used for educational purposes only. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
What should I do if SkinAI indicates a high probability of melanoma?
If SkinAI indicates a high probability of melanoma or any concerning skin condition, you should consult with a dermatologist or healthcare provider as soon as possible. Remember that SkinAI is an educational tool and not a diagnostic device.
How often should I check my skin for changes?
Most dermatologists recommend performing a self-examination of your skin once a month. Look for changes in existing moles or the appearance of new spots. The ABCDE rule can help identify concerning features: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than 6mm, and Evolving size, shape, or color.
