<jats:p>Skin ailments don't just affect the physical appearance of an individual but also lead to psychological issues. Vitiligo and discoloration patches are such conditions that can negatively impact one's self-assurance. Here, authors have designed 14 distinct models to classify skin lesions using the HAM10000 dataset which is sorted into 7 classes including Actinic Keratosis, Melanocytic nevi, Actinic keratoses, Melanoma, Benign keratosis-like lesions, Basal cell carcinoma, and Vascular lesions. Further, authors compared their model against other state-of-the-art models, and additional-ly employed various pre-trained models like Resnet50, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, Densenet201, VGG16, VGG19, InceptionResnetv2, Xception, EfficientNetB0, EfficientNetB1, EfficientNetB2, EfficientNetB3, Effi-cientNetB4, EfficientNetB5 that were trained on image net datasets. Their primary aim was to develop a framework that can be implemented in real-world applications using Efficient Nets. Experimental evaluations have shown that their proposed models have outperformed traditional pre-trained models like ResNets and VGG16 in terms of accuracy, precision, re-call, and validation loss, despite being lightweight. Interestingly, this im-provement was achieved without any data augmentation techniques. The authors achieved accuracy above 90% for all the EfficientNet models (B0-B5), which was far better than the existing pre-trained models, thus establishing the supremacy of proposed model.</jats:p>
