PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin diagnostic apparatus allowing a user to easily diagnose the skin at a specific position at home.SOLUTION: The skin diagnostic apparatus diagnoses the skin condition by imaging the skin of a subject. The end of a skin measuring unit 21 for measuring the skin condition is brought into contact with the skin, and the measuring position of the skin of the subject to be measured by the skin measuring unit 21 is detected by a mark 22. The skin condition is measured by the skin measuring unit 21, and the subject is informed of the measured skin condition and the position of the skin of the subject to be measured by the skin measuring unit 21.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】特定の位置の肌診断を家庭内で手軽に行うことができる肌診断装置を提供する。【解決手段】被験者の肌を撮影して肌状態を診断する肌診断装置において、肌状態を測定する肌測定ユニット21の先端を肌に接触させ、目印22によって肌測定ユニット21で測定しようとする被験者の肌の測定位置を検知する。肌測定ユニット21肌測定ユニット21による肌状態の測定を行い、測定された肌状態と肌測定ユニット21で測定しようとする被験者の肌の位置とを被験者に知らせる。【選択図】図6
