For efficient detection or observation of a skin disease, especially skin cancer, methods for examining the skin ( 2 ) of a subject ( 3 ) and an associated device ( 1 ) are specified. Accordingly a camera element ( 20 ) is provided, by means of which an image (B, B') of an area of skin ( 35 ) is recorded. The image (B, B') is fed to an image evaluation unit ( 30 ) which uses electronic pattern recognition based on at least one prespecified selection rule (A) to analyze the image (B, B') for the occurrence of suspect skin marks ( 37 a, 37 b) with, on detection of a suspect skin mark ( 37 a, 37 b), its location being determined and displayed.
