Longer the skin cancer remains undetected/untreated, deeper it grows and higher the chances for this to spread to other organs. Early detection of skin cancer allows it to be removed while it is still in superficial layers of skin, hence reduces morbidity and mortality.

The largest population-based study of melanoma patients in Queensland, showed that for patients performing Self Skin Examination, melanomas had a more favorable depth distribution (i.e., thinner tumors) than melanomas detected incidentally. DermPro makes self skin examination extremely easy and also provides reliable feedback about nature of skin lesion.
