Dermo classify: A dermatologist skin disease detection and classification using DCNN

In current circumstances, investigators who are doing exploration in various regions remote from their old neighborhood are experiencing different skin issues like dermatitis, dry skin, and psoriasis because of environment or weather condition changes, food sensitivities, and water changes. This results in itching and dry patching on their skin. An affected individual should investigate and analyze the skin sickness, take appropriate precautions to keep the illness from spreading and seek therapy from a skin expert as quickly as time permits. Since the investigators come from different parts of the country, they are unfamiliar with hospitals and places, so they avoid such skin diseases without realizing the severity of the sickness. To address this, we propose a computer-aided system that detects and classifies skin diseases early, helping individuals to identify their condition and seek appropriate treatment quickly.

To detect skin disease at an early stage, this work epitomizes a strategy using a computer-aided model according to sophisticated deep learning neural network techniques such as convolutional neural network (CNN), Residual neural networks, and Xception neural network to detect skin disease. We use the HAM-10000 data set, which contains data on seven different types of skin diseases.

The CNN model produced the most significant performance accuracy of 98.3718% in the experiments.

The paper presents a promising approach for skin disease detection and classification using DCNNs.
