Alternate ideas

Submerging an individual into an ice bath to cool the skin temperature.
Dismissed due to pain and inefficiency of freezing the entire body

individual ice packs to cool the area of the suspected melanoma but dismissed because of the pain

To use an x-ray scanner to detect melanoma
However x-rays are used for subcutaneous things
Therefore it was swapped with the infrared scanner

Diagram of Melanomore

Below is the infrared scanner for detecting the Melanoma. The results will be displayed on a computer screen for the doctor to review

The cooling lotion will be used to lower the temperature of the patient's skin to detect malignant cancer cells

The cooling lotion is applied to the skin surface area and the infrared thermography is used to detect higher temperatures emitted from malignant cells on small lesions.
