Global Warming and Climate change has caused an increase in the number of people getting affected by Skin Diseases by a significant amount. However, diagnosing the Skin Diseases correctly is a challenging task. Deep Learning poses a solution to the problem of Identification of Skin Diseases. Considering the features of recently emerged Deep Learning Models in Convolutional Neural Network Architecture such as AlexNet, ResNet, MobileNetV1 which does a significant work by remembering the correct characteristics of the Image and Parallel Convolutional Neural Networks which gathers the diverse characteristics of the Image. The combined the use of both the architectures of Parallel Convolutional Neural Network with Deep Convolutional Neural Network branches to process the Image holds the key to analysis and accurate prediction. This ensemble approach has led to significant rise in performance of Deep Learning Model and correct Identification of unseen real-world data. Upon Training this model with Skin Disease Image Data we have developed a model to be used for skin disease detection.
