Malignant melanoma which is known as Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. It occurs when unrepaired DNA damages to skin cells triggers mutations or genetic defects that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumours. Incidence of skin cancers has been increasing since the last few decades worldwide. Early detection of skin cancer has the potential to reduce mortality and morbidity. Image processing techniques used for skin cancer detection are based on the well known ABCD analysis. This paper proposes a method which helps in finding asymmetry of the images. In this paper different digital images are tested using MATLAB R2013a.Results obtained shows the feasibility of the proposed method for skin cancer diagnosis.
