A system and method for automatic reading skin for an allergy to a substance, includes a consumer electronics device that acquires images of skin; a consumable member having a surface divided into elementary areas, each elementary area with a different possible allergenic substance; and a palette that, when applied against each elementary area brings the depositing part into contact with the skin thereby depositing the corresponding possible allergenic substance on or under the skin, where an image processing operation of the image of the skin taken by the consumer electronics device localizes the location that each depositing part has deposited the possible allergenic substance during the application and provides information in relation with a sensitivity of the skin, as indicated by a visible reaction, to the possible allergenic substance at each localized location. |

1. A system for automatic reading skin for an allergy to a substance, comprising:
a consumer electronics device (4) comprising i) an objective capable of acquiring at least one image by digital means and ii) a further part producing data in relation with said at least one acquired image; an electronic image processing device or a data processing device for processing said data in connection with said at least one acquired image with a purpose of producing information in relation with at least one characteristic of the skin; a consumable member having a surface divided into elementary areas (86), after application, an area of the skin corresponding to each said elementary area being identifiable in a skin image taken by said consumer electronics device (4), each said elementary area comprising a different respective possible allergenic substance, each said elementary area further comprising a depositing part (145) that, during the application, deposits the corresponding possible allergenic substance at least on or under the skin, wherein the processing device that performs an image processing operation of the image of the skin taken by said consumer electronics device (4) i) localizes the location where each depositing part has deposited the possible allergenic substance on the skin during the application, and ii) provides information in relation with a sensitivity of the skin, as indicated by a visible reaction, to the possible allergenic substance at each localized location. |
