SkinSeg – segmentation of melanoma
SkinSeg is simple tool used for skin lesion segmentation. This little program was developed by Intelligent Systems laboratory students: L. Xu, M. Jackowski, A. Goshtasby, C. Yu, D. Roseman, S. Bines, A. Dhawan, A. Huntley. Their method is working similar as in my earlier experiment with matlab pigmented lesion boundary tracing algorithm. First image is converted to intensity image and then the lesion edges are detected.

Program can be downloaded from here: http://www.cs.wright.edu/people/faculty/agoshtas/skinseg.zip
This version of the Skin Cancer Segmentation program (skinseg) runs on the Windows 95/NT platforms. Make sure all files reside in the same directory after extraction. No setup program is required to install skinseg on your machine. To run, execute the program skinseg.exe.
hi how are you? i just wanted to ask about my little brother. by the way, this website is really helpful thank you all so much. my little brother plays in the sun way too many times during the day, and often times he’d forget to wear sunscreen even when i ask him to. i noticed a mole on his cheek and one on his neck. i’m not sure how to use the program you’ve put on the website, but i’m really concerned, is there any way i can find out if this is cancerous or not? thank you so much

Hi, I’m 17 and recently I’ve noticed this small scaly looking spot on my upper thigh. I am in the sun all the time and that’s why I am really concerned this could be cancerous. Is there any type of skin cancer that is pink and scaly looking? thank you

Hi my name is Kristina, I went to the Philippines a year ago and I had several brown to black itchy scaly pigmentation in my axilla. The other pigmentation went away but there is one left and it is so itchy and scaly and I’m wondering if its a skin cancer because it looks like one of the picture above.

I had two moles that grow together that maked a large mole.The moles were the color of my skin.(white)The mole has turned black and smaller in size.I also have smaller moles on other parts on my body.The moles that has turned black are under my right breast, my bra rubs the moles when I have to wear a bra.I don’t wear one unless I have to,Is this anything I need to worry about?

Hi,
I had a 2mm skintag removed (with scissors) by a derm, it healed normally but 3 weeks later I noticed a dark mole on the same spot, it seems to have happened overnight. I did not think much about it but now I am concerned because it is asymetrical and a litte red on the edges, should I go back to the derm?

this picture of moles comes up in google images search - it is very misleading, because it’s not until you dig very deep that you know that some are atypical, benign and some are cancerous. I’ve been freaking out for a week waiting to get to the doctors

I went on a mission trip last month, and I got a really bad burn, it blistered, and after awhile healed. I have scars from it, but a few days ago, I got another really bad burn, and it again blistered. Yesterday I noticed that the blisters were gone but there’s a large pink scaly spot on my shoulder where it was. Is it possible for skin cancer to appear that fast, and should I have it checked out?
