This app is intended to help you interpret the dermoscopic patterns seen with your dermatoscope. You will be asked a series of questions that will lead you to the most probable diagnosis. This app also contains over 80 photos and charts to help you in your diagnosis. No internet connection needed to view the full app. It is all ready for super quick image and information retrieval. There are also 50 interactive cases to solve. Each case starts with a clinical and dermoscopic image and ends with a labelled dermoscopic image pointing out critical structures. This app is based on the 2 step algorithm with the first step involving the determination of whether the lesion is a melanocytic. Melanocytic lesions will be divided into nevi or lesions with varying levels of suspicion for melanoma based on melanoma specific patterns and common nevi patterns. Non-melanocytic lesions will be analyzed to determine if they are suspicious for basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Common benign lesions such as dermatofibroma, seborrheic keratoses and hemangiomas will be positively identified to avoid unnecessary biopsies. This app will increase your ability to detect skin cancers with greater accuracy thereby decreasing unnecessary biopsies and missing less early melanomas and nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Disclaimer: While this app may help you in rendering a correct diagnosis, it is not intended to entirely replace the findings on patient history and physical examination including examination of the lesion with side lighting and touch. The final diagnosis rests on properly assimilating the information gained from the patient history, thorough naked eye physical examination, and meticulous dermoscopic inspection of the lesion. 3Gen, Inc. is the sponsor of this app. Visit www.dermlite.com to see their complete line of skin imaging devices.

The ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for managing abnormal cervical cancer screening results and cancer precursors, including post-colposcopy and post-treatment scenarios. ASCCP is pleased to offer this app to streamline navigation of the ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. The guidelines articles, as published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, as well as the comprehensive risk estimates, can be accessed through https://www.asccp.org/guidelines. These evidence-based management guidelines, initially developed in 2019, came together through a consensus process of 19 organizations. The updated management guidelines aim to: • Allow for a more complete and precise estimation of risk • Provide more appropriate intervention for high-risk individuals (detect and treat more precancer) • Recommend less intervention for low-risk individuals (decrease testing and treatment that won’t prevent cancer and may cause reproductive harm) • Allow for the future addition of new risk modifiers and screening and management technologies See https://www.asccp.org/UserGuide for tips on using the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm at 100% against ASCCP Management Guidelines's 33%. Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm also leads on price (Free vs $14.99). ASCCP Management Guidelines's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm is free to download; ASCCP Management Guidelines costs $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ASCCP Management Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASCCP Management Guidelines has 8.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm's written reviews are positive against 33% of ASCCP Management Guidelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm ships an update every 5 months, ASCCP Management Guidelines every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
