Skin Health Applications: Blessing or Misdiagnosis?

There has been a global rise in skin cancer over the last few years with the rising diagnosis of 2 3 million non-melanoma and 132,000 melanoma skin cancer cases each year. This growing prevalence is not only attributed to the increasing ultraviolet radiation by ozone depletion but also by other major predisposing factors centred to an individual’s own responsibility controls like recreational sun exposure and sunburn. However despite the escalating figures, low skin screening rates and awareness levels among the general population are highly disconcerting.
