Abstract: Diagnosing and finding the disease in medical sciences is a complex procedure. The basic steps involved in finding starts with signs, symptoms, and test. This study is based on the diagnosis of a skin disorder. The identification of a disease has been made on the basis of symptoms that sometimes show bipolarity. To address this bipolarity, the bipolar fuzzy sets are used as bipolar fuzzy sets cover the positive as well as negative aspects of a specific symptom. It is combined with the idea of soft sets, which gives more precise results. We have proposed a new technique in which a correlation coefficient is used to measure bipolar fuzzy soft set, which has been applied for diagnosis. The BFSSs deal most effectively with dual and fuzzy information. The correlation coefficient and the weighted correlation coefficient of BFSSs are suggested in this research. Based on said techniques, the decision-making method is suggested under a bipolar fuzzy environment to resolve ambiguous and unclear information. The implementation and effectiveness of the proposed and existing strategy has been checked by numerical computation.
