Here are two indisputable facts: First, booking a dermatological appointment for a full-body skin screening can be a pain in the “you know what.” Secondly, getting that appointment is the only way to detect early-stage melanoma and other skin cancers.
Sure, in this age of AI and ChatGPT, it’s tempting to skip the appointment, save money and time by just uploading a photo of a mole and ask ” Is this cancerous?”, “What is this?” or “What are your top three diagnoses?” But that shortcut may cost you, since the answer is most likely wrong. 
Researchers at the University of Alabama Birmingham, have found that while ChatGPT can offer strong specifics about a skin condition, it falls short when it comes to identifying malignant lesions. So in other words, if ChatGPT tells you erroneously that growth on your arm is benign and nothing to worry about, you may go blindly about your life until it is too late. https://bit.ly/4iCReos
Keep in mind early diagnosis is essential to stopping and preventing melanoma. And the only true way to detect and remove the risk is through a dermatological dermascope screening. It is not a big deal; just you in a gown and 15 minutes of your time. Early detection is the difference between an atypical mole ( one undergoing cellular changes) and a fully developed melanoma which can be a risk to your life. Keep in mind, if a growth looks alarming to your eye – you may already have a problem. Don’t waste time on ChatGPT. In young people under 30, melanoma is more aggressive and invasive than in older adults so every moment of early detection counts! 
The best plan of all, is to plan ahead and schedule an annual screening with a gold-star dermatologist; one who is equally focused on the medical side of skin care and cosmetics. Stay ahead of any changes. Take care of your skin. Take care of you – and #livelifelikeclaire
