System to visualize, measure, and track skin abnormalities

A method of skin anomaly assessment, measurement, and monitoring comprising the steps of:

• receiving, at a computing device, one or more three-dimensional scans of a skin anomaly defining a three-dimensional topology of the skin anomaly;
• converting, via the computing device, the one or more three-dimensional scans into a three-dimensional model of the skin anomaly, the three-dimensional model having characteristics and dimensions matching the three-dimensional topology, wherein the computing device automatically aligns the three-dimensional model using an optimization process to align a mesh of the three-dimensional model with the three-dimensional topology defined by the one or more three-dimensional scans via translation, rotation, and scale;
• displaying, via a display device in communication with the computing device, the three-dimensional model;
• receiving, on the three-dimensional model and via the computing device, an input of at least a start point and an end point, the start point and the end point associated with at least one dimension of the three-dimensional model of the skin anomaly;
• and
• automatically calculating, based on the input of at least the start point and the end point, a dimension of the skin anomaly, the dimension selected from the group consisting of a length, a width, a depth, a perimeter, a surface area, and a volume, wherein the computing device calculates the length, the width, or the depth as a Euclidean distance between the start point and the end point.
