DiagnostiCookies

Ever noticed that a melanoma mole looks like a cookie? Since Brazilians love cookies, which are sold everywhere, from almost every coffee shop to cookie kiosks, we sought to combine Brazilians' love of cookies with the need to educate them on the importance of early melanoma detection.

'DiagnostiCookies' makes it easy to identify melanoma. In each box, you see a side-by-side comparison of cookies resembling healthy moles and ones that resemble melanoma moles, showing the differences in size, color, shape, and texture. Melanoma moles might have uneven borders, be bigger than six millimeters, be asymmetrical, have a variety of colors, or evolve their characteristics over time.

The box also comes with a guide to identify these signs and motivate people to do a visual skin cancer screening on themselves, their friends, and loved ones. The guide also explains that if a mole changes characteristics, it could be a sign of malignant transformation and to seek medical consultation.
