PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin inspection device capable of performing a safe and quick inspection. Kind Code: A1 A skin inspection apparatus includes an ultraviolet light irradiator capable of controlling an irradiation region of ultraviolet light to be irradiated, a transparent plate having a conversion layer which converts visible light when receiving ultraviolet light, and photoelectric conversion of visible light. An image sensor, a detection unit that detects a predetermined specific region from an image of image data generated from the output of the image sensor, an ultraviolet light irradiator, an image sensor, and a control unit that controls the detection unit, The control unit causes the imaging sensor to image the observation target including the skin without irradiating the ultraviolet light, passes the generated first imaging data to the detection unit to detect the specific region, and the specific region detected by the detection unit. Avoiding the above, the ultraviolet light irradiator irradiates the observation target with ultraviolet light, and the imaging sensor captures a visible image formed on the translucent plate to generate the second imaging data.
