Abstract

Nowadays, humans' health is deteriorating by dermatological diseases, and the spreading rate is high. Most people are not aware of skin diseases. As they do not realize these diseases' seriousness, they try to treat with some remedies by themselves, even without knowing what the actual disease is. Nevertheless, it is not a suitable way to cure the disease, leading to future complications. So still the dermatological diseases remain as one of the main categories of common health issues. A few people prefer to use computerized systems to evaluate the disease conditions these days. Moreover, it is essential to know about the diseases to manage that condition and prevent escalation. Therefore, the proposed system is implemented to give users some knowledge about dermatological diseases as much as possible. The users can get awareness and predict skin diseases and complications from the data mining technique. The user can identify the stage of the dermatological disease by applying the classification algorithm. Furthermore, this system will also scrap web pages related to that disease from known or system verified websites. The content analysis is based on the machine learning process, especially using Neural Language Processing. Hence, the system will undeniably be useful to the users to summarize skin diseases and get concerns from a dermatologist.
