Note: Images must be between 300 KB and 2 MB in size.

Note: AI Dermatology-powered Skin Image Search™ is CE-marked as a legacy Class 1 Medical Device transitioning to MDR 2a. It compares uploaded images to a database of dermatological images to identify visually similar conditions. Skin Image Search™ is a search engine for information retrieval using image matching. It does not diagnose. For a diagnosis, consult a dermatologist or see a physician in person.

The AI model screens for common skin diseases. To access a more advanced version, visit Autoderm.ai for more details.

For users in the USA: Autoderm is fully operational in Europe, including the UK, and has been granted Breakthrough Device designation by the FDA. While we wait for regulatory clearance, it is not being marketed or offered for clinical use. During this period, Autoderm is intended for demonstration purposes only and should be used solely as a test. It should not be used on individuals residing in the USA at this stage.

While Skin Image Search™ can highlight areas worth reviewing, it does not diagnose or replace a medical consultation. Confirming or ruling out skin cancer always requires a dermatologist’s examination and, if needed, a biopsy.

Our research in AI dermatology reflects years of collaboration between clinicians and data scientists. Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate that artificial intelligence can support professionals and the public in understanding skin conditions more accurately, faster, and at scale.

At First Derm, your privacy and safety come first.
Skin Image Search™ operates under strict ethical and regulatory standards — including GDPR compliance and CE-marking as a medical device.

All image analysis takes place on encrypted EU servers, and no personal data — such as your name, email, or IP address — is collected or stored.
You can use the tool instantly and anonymously, confident that your information is protected at every step.

If you’ve spotted a new rash, bump, or mark and aren’t sure what it could be, Skin Image Search™ helps you take the first step toward understanding it.

Upload a photo, and the AI will analyze it using thousands of dermatologist-verified cases.
In seconds, you’ll see up to five possible conditions, ordered by likelihood through medical-grade image analysis.
Each result is designed to give you clear, trustworthy insights and support your next safe step toward understanding your skin.

Understanding the Purpose of Skin Image Search™

Skin Image Search™ is an AI-powered dermatology tool created to make expert knowledge more accessible.
It helps you interpret visible skin changes — rashes, spots, or growths — through image analysis built on verified medical data.
Instead of guessing symptoms online, you receive structured, dermatologist-reviewed insights that reflect real clinical understanding.

At First Derm, we firmly believe AI should enhance — not replace — human expertise. Every medical decision deserves the insight of a qualified professional, because behind every case is a real person and real health.

How to Use the Tool Effectively

You don’t need an account or medical background — just a clear photo in good lighting.
The AI instantly analyzes your image and presents a ranked list of possible matches.
Each result links to dermatologist-reviewed pages with real photos, key symptoms, and helpful explanations.
You can download your results or explore related conditions to learn more.
This gives you fast, evidence-based insight into what your skin concern could be — helping you decide the safest and most informed next step.

Understanding Your Results

Your results appear as a ranked list of up to five possible conditions, so you can clearly see which findings the AI recognized with the highest confidence.

Each result includes a likelihood label — for example, High possibility, Possible, or Unlikely — showing how confident the AI is in its visual assessment. This helps you interpret your results with clarity and context.

You can select “Read more” to explore dermatologist-reviewed information for each condition, including:
– Clear descriptions of how the condition appears
– Common symptoms and affected areas
– Real medical photos verified by dermatologists

These resources give you a clearer understanding of what your skin concern might resemble and explain why it appeared among your results, based on visual and clinical characteristics.

This analysis is for informational purposes only and does not provide a medical diagnosis. It’s intended to guide your next step and support an informed discussion with a healthcare professional.
Using this tool is a positive first step toward understanding your skin health with clarity and care.

When to Seek Further Dermatologist Review

Your AI results are meant to guide your understanding — but some findings may require timely professional attention.

If your results mention conditions such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma, it’s essential to see a dermatologist in person as soon as possible. Confirming or ruling out skin cancer requires an in-person assessment, and often, a biopsy or further testing.

If you notice a new or changing mole, or any spot that looks different from others, it may indicate a skin cancer–related change. In such cases, speak with a dermatologist promptly — whether online or in person.

For other changes like spreading rashes, irritation, or discomfort, professional evaluation helps ensure safe care and the right next step.

If your concern involves the genital area or may relate to a sexually transmitted infection, it’s important to get testedand consult a healthcare provider or sexual health clinic.

In emergencies — such as rapidly spreading infection, severe swelling, blistering, or fever — seek urgent medical attention.

Ethical, Secure, and Anonymous by Design

All uploads are handled on encrypted EU servers, fully compliant with GDPR and CE-marked Class I Medical Device standards.

Your privacy and safety are protected at every step — from upload to deletion.

How Accurate Is the AI?

The AI model has been validated in peer-reviewed studies, showing accuracy comparable to dermatologists for common skin diseases.
It continues to learn from diverse real-world cases, improving recognition across different skin tones, ages, and body areas.
Our goal is consistent, fair performance that supports both users and clinicians in understanding skin health more clearly.

What Kinds of Conditions Can It Identify?

Skin Image Search™ is trained on thousands of dermatologist-verified cases and can recognize over 90 percent of the most common skin, hair, and nail conditions seen in everyday practice.
These include common concerns such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as skin growths and moles that may need closer attention.

Limitations and Next Steps

The tool is for educational use on human skin only and is not intended for emergencies or animal skin analysis.
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional if your symptoms worsen, spread, or cause concern.

Skin Image Search™ bridges the gap between uncertainty and informed action. It helps you understand what you might be seeing — but every skin concern benefits from professional review, online or in person.

At First Derm, we’re committed to responsible use of AI in healthcare — where technology informs, but human expertise guides.
