Understand your skin assessment
Dermacore gives educational guidance, not a diagnosis. Here's how to interpret results and when to seek care.
How the AI assessment works
When you upload a photo, Dermacore's AI looks for visual features and compares them with common skin conditions. It returns possible conditions for education, warning signs to watch for, and a suggested next step. It does not confirm a diagnosis — many skin conditions look similar, and a photo alone is often not enough.
Warning signs — seek medical care
- •A mole or spot that is new, changing in size, shape or colour, or has irregular borders
- •A sore that does not heal within a few weeks, or that bleeds, oozes or scabs repeatedly
- •A rapidly spreading, painful or blistering rash
- •Signs of infection: increasing warmth, swelling, pain, pus or fever
- •Facial or eye involvement, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing
- •Severe pain, or a rash with fever or feeling generally unwell
If any of these apply, contact a doctor promptly. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
When to see a dermatologist
- •A spot, mole or rash that is changing, persistent or recurrent.
- •A skin concern affecting your wellbeing, sleep or confidence.
- •When over-the-counter measures haven't helped after a few weeks.
Skin health basics
Protect from the sun
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, protective clothing, and avoid peak UV hours.
Keep skin moisturised
Regular moisturising helps maintain the skin barrier, especially in dry or eczema-prone skin.
Know your skin
Check your skin regularly so you notice new or changing spots early.
Avoid harsh products
Gentle, fragrance-free products reduce irritation for sensitive skin.
