We’ve seen plenty of accessories for the iPhone, and quite a number of bizarre apps to make the phone a very useful tool at times. But we do lack apps that are related to medical fields. We’ve seen apps that can check out blood pressure and stuff by connecting our iPhones to a specific device, but now you can even check what’s wrong with that weird and painful smudge on your hand that can’t seem to be removed.

Previously you’ll have to consult on your doctor for any sickness, or endure the eight years meditation to be a doctor yourself, but now thanks to FotoFinder Systems’s latest product, you can easily check the cause of the skin infection that you’ve gotten all of a sudden.

Just turn your iPhone into a digital dermatoscope for mobile skin examination by attaching your iPhone to the camera along with the Handyscope iOS app, and it’ll allows mere mortals like you and me to take dermoscopic photos which can be viewed with a magnification of up to 20X, also allows you to email your doc and ask what’s wrong with you.

Thought, may I say, that it ain’t going to be cheap, just like all medical equipment. The attachment is on sale now for €1,166 ($1,582), with the accompanying app going for a comparatively modest $11.99.
