Melanoma is one of the skin cancers that attacks the cells of melanocytes that produce skin-forming pigments. Melanoma is one of many kinds, but the type of melanoma that will be discussed in this research are Lentigo Maligna Melanoma & Nodular Melanoma only. Lentigo Maligna Melanoma is detected based on Solar Lentigines while Nodular Melanoma detected based on melanocytic nevus. The intelligent system that will be discussed in this paper is the Variable-Centered Intelligent Rule System (VCIRS). VCIRS is a combination of the Rule Based System (RBS) and Ripple Down Rules (RDR) methods with their respective advantages complementing each other with Variable Usage Rates (VUR), Node Usage Rate (NUR) and Rule Usage Rate (RUR) inside. This intelligent system application is an Android based system where users are able to input symptoms that occurs and then the system will process inputs from users. Later, the system will determine whether the user has the disease or not.
