This App Wants You to Stop Googling Your Skin Issues
Many of us have spent hours comparing photos of moles on Google images or looking up “itchy red patch” while reminding one of the kids to “stop scratching!”
Skin is just a really sensitive part of the body and we all have so much of it (weird, I know!). And all kinds of not-terrible-but-still-concerning issues crop up that seem to warrant individual investigation before resorting to a doctor visit.
Aysa is a new app that presents a new solution to that particular problem: It makes the process of looking up skin conditions personal.
While other apps have tried virtual approaches to dermatology, this one isn’t about checking into…

A Skin Rash App that Won’t Keep You Guessing: a Review of Aysa
As parents, we all have fretted over a mysterious rash that’s developed on our child’s skin. You know the questions that run through your mind….Is this serious? Do we have to go to the doctor?

Common skin rashes and what to do about them
Everyone has had the unpleasant experience of a rash on the skin – pink, red or purple, flat or bumpy, itchy, scaly, pus-filled, or just plain unsightly.
