Abstract
An apparatus and method for detecting indications of skin cancer, includes a magnifying glass for magnifying a lesion on an area of skin to be tested and indicia for determining the presence or absence of skin disease indications. The magnifying glass and the indicia are formed on a clear, flexible plastic sheet. The indicia include a circle for detecting whether the diameter of the lesion indicates the presence of melanoma and a cross for detecting whether the symmetry of the lesion indicates the presence of melanoma.
