Classification of skin blemishes with cell phone images using deep learning techniques.

Skin blemishes can be caused by multiple events or diseases and, in some cases, it is difficult to distinguish where they come from. Therefore, there may be cases with a dangerous origin that go unnoticed or the opposite case (which can lead to overcrowding of health services). To avoid this, the use of artificial intelligence-based classifiers using images taken with mobile devices is proposed; this would help in the initial screening process and provide some information to the patient prior to their final diagnosis.
