Photo Health Tracker — Free Private Photo Comparison Tool for Wounds, Moles, Rashes and Bruises
Photo Health Tracker
Track a wound, mole, rash, bruise or swelling with consistent photos over time. Ghost-overlay lineup, fade and reveal comparison, printable timeline for your GP visit. Nothing uploaded — ever.
ℹ️
Pure tracking — not an assessment.
Photos alone can't tell you whether something is infected, healing normally, cancerous, or needs urgent care. Use this to keep consistent records for yourself and your GP — not to decide whether you need to be seen. If you're worried, contact your GP. In an emergency, call 000.
100% private. Photos are stored only in this browser on this device — no accounts, no uploads, no cloud backup. Clearing your browser data deletes them.
💡 Photo tips: natural daylight · no flash · same distance each time · include a small ruler or 5c coin for scale · plain background · use the ghost overlay to line up the same angle each time.
📸 Your photo journal
Add a wound, mole, rash, bruise, area of swelling, or anything else you want to watch. Each follow-up photo overlays the last one (faint) so you can match the angle exactly.
