Problem to be solved: to provide a skin condition detecting device capable of accurately observing the state of the skin using the optical characteristic of the skin of the affected part such as floor deviation.A detection part 5 for detecting reflected light intensity in red, green and blue wavelength bands reflected by the skin, red reflected light which is reflected light in the red wavelength band, blue reflected light which is reflected light of the green wavelength band or blue reflected light which is reflected light of the blue wavelength band By comparing the light intensity of the light with a reference value, a control unit 10 is provided for determining the state of the skin.Diagram【課題】床ずれのような患部の皮膚について、光学的特性を用いて、正確に皮膚の状態を観察できる皮膚状態検知装置を提供する。【解決手段】皮膚で反射した赤色、緑色、青色それぞれの波長帯の反射光強度を検知するための検知部5と、赤色の波長帯の反射光である赤色反射光、緑色の波長帯の反射光である緑色反射光又は青色の波長帯の反射光である青色反射光のうちのいずれかの反射光の光強度を基準値と比較することによって、皮膚の状態を判定する制御部10を備えて構成する。【選択図】図3
