Snap a photo, answer a few questions, and these tools compare your spot, rash,
or breakout against thousands of clinical images. What you get back is information — possible
matches and a way to monitor change over time — never a diagnosis.
The rule that matters most on this shelf: no photo score can rule out skin cancer.
Any spot that is new, changing, bleeding, itching that won't settle, or just worrying you
needs a clinician's eyes on it, whatever an app says.
⚠ Don't app this — get care — if you have:
A rapidly spreading red, hot, painful area of skin, especially with fever
Trouble breathing or swelling of lips/tongue with a rash — call 911
A mole or spot that is changing, bleeding, or oozing — book a dermatologist promptly
Loss of consciousness or bleeding that won't stop — call 911
Photo checks & dermatologist reviews
Skinive
TRULY FREE
Photo-based AI analysis across 55+ skin patterns — moles and spots, acne, rashes, eczema and dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal conditions, warts — plus monitoring of changes over time. Skinive’s own words: it “does not provide a medical diagnosis and does not replace a dermatologist.” It is CE-marked medical software in Europe.
Who pays: Freemium: the free analyses are the front door to an in-app Premium subscription; Skinive also sells clinician and API products to professionals.
Price: New users get 3 free AI skin analyses after registration (more can be earned in-app). Premium (up to 20 analyses a week) is sold in-app; its price is not published on Skinive’s site.
Age: Ages 18+, per Skinive’s terms.
Privacy: States photos and data are stored to EU GDPR and ISO standards, encrypted, and that you can delete your account and data.

Two distinct products for skin, hair and nail concerns: (1) an AI Skin Image Search that matches your photo against dermatologist-verified cases and returns up to 5 possible conditions by visual likelihood; (2) a paid review of your case by a board-certified dermatologist. Both pages state it is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for an in-person examination.
Who pays: You pay per use or per case. No subscription, no account needed for the AI search.
Price: AI Skin Image Search: $11.99 per use. Human dermatologist review: $34.95 (48-hour response), $49.95 (24 hours), $69.95 (8 hours).
Age: First Derm says its services are for adults, teens, and children; no minimum age stated.
Privacy: The AI processes images anonymously — no name, email or IP address collected; images run on encrypted servers in the EU. The human review is also marketed as fully anonymous.

Two parts, and the difference matters: (1) a free mole- and skin-photo tracker — a photo diary with body mapping, side-by-side comparison and reminders so you can spot change over time. The app states explicitly that it does <b>not</b> diagnose your moles or evaluate melanoma risk. (2) Paid photo consultations with an independent, board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state, who can prescribe — for acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, hair loss and fungal infections.
Who pays: A freemium tracking subscription plus per-case cash-pay consultations; no subscription is required to book a consultation.
Price: Basic tracking is free; Premium adds AI skin mapping and full-body imaging (price not published; a 30-day free Premium trial is offered). First dermatologist consultation: about $59 (individual listings run $55–$69); prescription refill/renewal $39.
Privacy: Miiskin states it is HIPAA-compliant; photos are kept separate from your camera roll, encrypted, with optional PIN or Face/Touch ID lock.

A photo-based image search for general skin conditions (not skin-cancer-only): take or select a photo and get information on possible matches to discuss with a healthcare professional. Aysa states plainly: “Aysa does not diagnose skin conditions.” It is built on VisualDx’s library of 120,000+ clinical images across skin types.
Who pays: VisualDx licenses Aysa to hospitals and health systems, which offer it to their patients — access usually comes through your health system rather than a consumer purchase.
Price: Not published: VisualDx publishes no direct consumer price or free tier. If your health system offers Aysa, its terms come from them.
Privacy: Per its official app listing, your image is encrypted as it is sent to the model and discarded immediately after analysis.

The first AI in the United States authorized by a state regulator to issue an initial prescription — not just a refill. In the app, Utah adults verify their identity, give informed consent, complete a 10–15 minute questionnaire and a five-angle face scan; the AI builds a personalized acne treatment plan and, if appropriate, prescribes a topical treatment from a short physician-approved list. It cannot prescribe oral medications or isotretinoin, and anything outside the pilot — severe acne, pregnancy, cases it can't confidently treat — is sent to a licensed physician or in-person care. Physician oversight is staged: two physicians approve every prescription for the first 100 patients, then reviews step back to after-the-fact and sampled checks as safety targets are met, with written state approval required at each stage.
Who pays: You pay a monthly subscription. This listing is here because it is a first — end-to-end AI acne care with a real prescription at the end of it — not because it is free.
Price: Utah pilot enrollment: $4.99/month (discounted pilot rate). Nolla's regular app subscription starts at $9.99/month. Medication is extra — home delivery or pickup at your local pharmacy.
Who can use it: The AI-prescription pilot is Utah residents only, ages 18+. Outside Utah, the app offers clinician-guided care where it operates.
Privacy: Enrollment requires identity verification, and the app uses face scans to track your skin over time — read Nolla's privacy policy before signing up.

A human dermatologist review online runs $35–$70 by response speed; an in-office visit
varies a lot more. Our sister project publishes real hospital and clinic prices.
