Abstract

Background: Skin diseases are among the most common health issues worldwide, affecting mil-lions of individuals annually. Conditions such as Acne and Rosacea, Eczema, Exan-thems and Drug Eruptions, Scabies, Lyme Disease, Tinea and other fungal infections, and Vasculitis can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management. However, the diagnosis of skin diseases often requires specialized expertise, which may not be readily availa-ble in all healthcare settings. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can lead to inappro-priate treatments and worsening conditions. Methods: In this paper, we propose Deep Learning techniques for classifying six common skin diseases. Leveraging the DermNet da-taset, we utilized the EfficientNet-B0 model, known for its accuracy and efficiency, to categorize these dermatological conditions. Our methodology involved data aug-mentation, transfer learning, and fine-tuning the EfficientNet-B0 model. Results: The pro-posed approach achieved an impressive 99% accuracy on the validation set, demon-strating the potential of advanced convolutional neural networks for automated skin disease diagnosis. Furthermore, we compared EfficientNet-B0 with other popular models, including ResNet50 and MobileNet, revealing superior performance both in accuracy and computational efficiency. Specifically, the models achieved accuracy rates of 93%, 94%, and 99% for ResNet50, MobileNet, and EfficientNet-B0, respec-tively. Conclusion: These findings highlight the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed model compared to state-of-the-art approaches.Tumors have been rarely documented in the Arabian dromedary (Camelus dromedarius).
