Coded using Gemini Pro 2.5 (free version) in about 2-3 hours.

Single file including all html/js/css, Vanilla JS, no backend, scores persisted with localStorage.

Deployed using ubuntu/apache2/python/flask on a £5 Digital Ocean server (but could have been hosted on a static hosting provider as it's just a single page with no backend).

Images / metadata stored in an AWS S3 bucket.

As someone with literally every single possible variation of skin blemish, mole and God knows what else, this scares the living hell out of me.

Yeah, I only have just 1 concerning, but still made me spend 20 minutes googling difference between dermatofibroma and basal cell cancer. I think it is dermatofibroma, but I guess good point anyway to let it get checked out.

Get a yearly full body skin check from a dermatologist. It’s a common thing. I’ve been doing it for years because of my skin type. They caught early Basal cell carcinoma the last time I went.
