The Skin Disorder Prediction project applies ML to detect diseases early using patient demographics, symptoms, and clinical data. After preprocessing and EDA, models like Random Forest, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression were tested. Logistic Regression was chosen for its accuracy, recall, and interpretability.

🩺 Skin Disorder Prediction

Predicting different types of skin disorders using machine learning models trained on dermatological datasets.

πŸš€ Project Overview

Skin disorders are common health issues and can be caused by genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors.
Accurate prediction and classification of skin conditions can help in early diagnosis and treatment planning.

This project applies data science and machine learning to:

  • Analyze dermatology datasets
  • Identify key features influencing diagnosis
  • Build predictive models for classifying skin disorders

Goal: Assist healthcare professionals with decision support systems for improved dermatological care.


πŸ”§ Tech Stack

  • Programming: Python (Jupyter Notebook)
  • Libraries:
    • Data Analysis β†’ pandas, numpy
    • Visualization β†’ matplotlib, seaborn
    • Machine Learning β†’ scikit-learn, xgboost, lightgbm
    • Model Evaluation β†’ accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, ROC-AUC

πŸ“ˆ Workflow

  1. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

    • Distribution of skin disorder cases
    • Correlation between clinical features
    • Visualizations of feature importance
  2. Data Preprocessing

    • Handling missing values
    • Encoding categorical variables
    • Feature scaling and selection
  3. Modeling

    • Logistic Regression
    • Random Forest
    • XGBoost & LightGBM
  4. Model Evaluation

    • Train-test split & cross-validation
    • Metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, ROC-AUC
    • Confusion matrix & ROC curves
  5. Insights & Business Value

    • Key clinical indicators of specific skin disorders
    • Supporting dermatologists with predictive analytics

πŸ“Š Visualizations

  • Distribution of skin disorder classes
  • Correlation heatmaps
  • ROC & Precision-Recall curves
  • Confusion matrices
  • Feature importance plots

πŸ’‘ Future Improvements

  • Deploy as a Flask/Django web app
  • Integrate with real clinical datasets
  • Use CNN models with image data for diagnosis
  • Hyperparameter optimization with Optuna
