Diagnosis of Melanoma by Analysing UV-Ray Intensity and Dermoscopy Images Through Mobile Application

Abstract

Skin cancer is caused by unrepaired DNA damage to the epidermis, the top layer of skin, which results in mutations and uncontrollable cell proliferation of abnormal cells. Skin cells undergo modification, proliferate rapidly, and transform into malignant tumors as a result. Squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and basal cell carcinoma are the three most prevalent kinds of skin cancer. The first two types of skin cancer as well as a few additional less common types are collectively referred to as non-melanoma skin cancer. The size, shape, or color of a mole changes, or it bleeds or itches. Its margins could also be discolored or uneven. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of cancer. In 90% of cases, exposure to the sun's UV rays is to blame. This exposure increases the risk of acquiring any of the three primary kinds of skin cancer. Skin cancer is brought on by unbalanced sunburn cells carried on by continuous UVB exposure. In order to prevent harm, UV intensity is measured and safety precautions are performed for the corresponding intensity. Here is a methodological approach for using a mobile application to diagnose melanoma using dermoscopy images.
