Clear next steps
Every result tells you what to do
No vague answers. Each possible condition is paired with a concrete recommendation, colour-coded by urgency.
Mild, common conditions that usually settle on their own — with practical tips on what to do and when to escalate.
Conditions best treated with over-the-counter products. Your pharmacist can confirm the match and start treatment today.
Findings that need a professional examination or prescription treatment — flagged clearly, never buried.
Coverage
Over 600 skin conditions
From everyday rashes to findings that deserve a closer look — here are some of the most common concerns DermaLens can help with.
Trust & safety
Built to inform, never to alarm
DermaLens is a triage companion, not a doctor. We're upfront about what AI can and can't do, and we always point you to a human professional when it matters.
Not a diagnosis
Results are ranked possibilities with confidence levels. A clinician always has the final word.
Your photo stays yours
Photos are used only for your analysis and are not stored, shared, or used for anything else.
Red flags come first
Anything that looks serious is surfaced prominently with urgent-care guidance — never hidden in a list.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this a medical diagnosis?
No. DermaLens highlights possible conditions ranked by likelihood and tells you the safest next step. Only a doctor, dermatologist, or pharmacist can diagnose you.
What technology powers the analysis?
DermaLens analyses your photo with Autoderm, a clinical-grade dermatology AI. The Autoderm engine is a CE-marked Class 1 medical device in Europe, has FDA Breakthrough Device Designation in the United States, and is notified with the MHRA in the UK. It has been trained on hundreds of thousands of dermatologist-labelled images.
Is the analysis engine regulated?
Yes. The Autoderm analysis engine behind DermaLens carries a CE mark as a Class 1 medical device, holds FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and has an MHRA device notification in the UK. These credentials belong to the analysis engine; DermaLens itself is an information and triage tool, not a certified medical device.
What happens to my photo?
Your photo is sent securely to the analysis engine, used only to produce your result, and is not stored or shared afterwards.
How accurate is it?
The underlying AI model was trained on hundreds of thousands of dermatologist-labelled images and covers over 600 skin conditions. Accuracy depends heavily on photo quality — that's why we guide you through taking a good one.
When should I skip the app and see a doctor?
Seek urgent medical help for severe pain, rapidly spreading redness, fever, blisters near the eyes, or swelling of the lips, tongue, or face. For anything changing quickly or bleeding, book a GP appointment regardless of any app result.
What does it cost?
The skin check is free to use. If a result suggests a pharmacist or GP visit, normal consultation costs with those services may apply.
