Severity scores

Clinical measures, self-assessed
Score

PASI Calculator

The psoriasis severity index used in every trial — four regions scored for redness, thickness, and scale, weighted by area, out of 72. Self-assessed, tracked over time.

Trial-grade psoriasis score

PGA×BSA Score

The fast psoriasis severity measure: rate how your plaques look on a 0–4 scale, multiply by the skin area involved, and track the product — validated against full PASI.

Two numbers → severity, quick
Screener

Psoriatic Arthritis Screen

Up to a third of people with psoriasis develop joint disease, often silently. PEST is the validated 5-question screen — three yeses means ask about a rheumatology referral.

PEST — 5 questions, joints checked
Score

Acne Severity Score

Grade your acne the way clinicians do — the GAGS system scores six face and trunk zones by worst lesion type, totalling to mild, moderate, severe, or very severe.

GAGS 0–44, honestly graded
Score

Eczema Control Test

Severity says how bad the week was; control says whether the disease is beaten. The 6-question ADCT tells you which side of the line you’re on — 7+ means it isn’t controlled.

ADCT — is it actually controlled?
Score

MASI Calculator

The melasma severity index from the clinical literature: four face regions scored for area and darkness, so you can tell whether treatment is actually fading anything.

Melasma, measured not guessed
Score

VASI Calculator

The vitiligo scoring index used in repigmentation trials — hand-unit areas times residual depigmentation per region, with a separate face score, tracked over months.

Vitiligo extent, trial-grade
Score

HS Severity Check

Recurrent boils in the armpits or groin have a name — hidradenitis suppurativa — and a staging system. Self-stage with Hurley and IHS4, and know when to push for treatment.

Hurley stage + IHS4 count
Score

SALT Calculator

The alopecia areata measure from the JAK-inhibitor trials: score hair loss by scalp quadrant and get your 0–100 SALT — the number regrowth gets judged against.

Scalp loss %, quadrant by quadrant
Staging

Hair Loss Stages

Find your stage on the scales dermatologists actually use — Norwood for male-pattern, Ludwig for female-pattern — and what each stage means for treatment options.

Norwood & Ludwig, self-staged
Score

Eczema Severity Score

The POEM questionnaire dermatology actually uses: seven questions about your last week, a 0–28 score, and a trend you can bring to appointments.

POEM 0–28, tracked weekly
Score

Itch Scale (0–10)

Rate your worst and average itch on the same 0–10 scale clinical trials use, log it daily, and see whether anything you change actually helps.

Peak itch NRS + history
Score

Hives Activity (UAS7)

The 7-day urticaria diary allergists work from: score wheals and itch daily, get your UAS7 out of 42, and know if treatment is actually controlling it.

Daily diary → weekly score
Your data is yours — here's how it's kept

Every tool works without a sign-up: diaries, scores, patch tests, shelves, and your My Skin profile save right on this device — but browsers erase site data, and Safari does it automatically after seven days away. A free account is the fix: everything backs up automatically, photos included, and syncs to your other devices. We never sell or share any of it. (Prefer holding your own copy? Export and restore live in Your data and below.) Export everything as one file now and then, photos included, and restore it on any browser: the buttons are below, and the full inventory is in Your data. We never sell or share any of it.
