description Abstract Detecting dangerous illnesses connected to the skin organ, particularly malignancy, requires the identification of pigmented skin lesions. Image detection techniques and computer classification capabilities can boost skin cancer detection accuracy. The dataset used for this research work is based on the HAM10000 dataset which consists of 10015 images. The proposed work has chosen a subset of the dataset and performed augmentation. A model with data augmentation tends to learn more distinguishing characteristics and features rather than a model without data augmentation. Involving data augmentation can improve the accuracy of the model. But that model cannot give significant results with the testing data until it is robust. The k-fold cross-validation technique makes the model robust which has been implemented in the proposed work. We have analyzed the classification accuracy of the Machine Learning algorithms and Convolutional Neural Network models. We have concluded that Convolutional Neural Network provides better accuracy compared to other machine learning algorithms implemented in the proposed work. In the proposed system, as the highest, we obtained an accuracy of 95.18% with the CNN model. The proposed work helps early identification of seven classes of skin disease and can be validated and treated appropriately by medical practitioners.
