Skin Diseases Diagnosis System Using Machine Learning

Skin diseases are among the most prevalent health problems worldwide, affecting millions of people across different age groups and regions. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent severe complications, particularly in life-threatening cases such as melanoma. However, manual diagnosis through clinical examination or biopsy is often time-consuming, costly, and subjective, leading to inconsistent outcomes. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an automated Skin Disease Diagnosis System using Machine Learning, which leverages Deep Learning (DL) and Transfer Learning (TL) techniques for precise classification of dermatological images. The proposed system employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture using pre-trained MobileNetV2 and EfficientNetB0 models, fine-tuned on a curated dataset of multiple skin disease classes including benign, malignant (melanoma), eczema, psoriasis, fungal, and normal skin. The images are preprocessed through resizing, normalization, and augmentation to enhance generalization and minimize overfitting.
