Abstract: The malignant tumour is the deadliest skin disease. The reasons for malignant growth are carcinogenic cells that can spread to the different parts of the skin. There are three primary types of skin diseases: Basal Carcinoma Cancer, Squamous Carcinoma Cancer, and Melanoma. The initial two are known as non-melanoma skin malignant growth or NMSC. 90% of melanoma has occurred due to sunlight. This exposure has increased due to thin ozone layer and tanning bed is another cause of skin cancer. The motivation behind this paper is to classify the Benign and Malignant tumour dependent on dermoscopic images from ISIC datasets and utilising five machine learning methods (MLP, SVM, RF, KNN, and LR). Correctly classified instances were found in 87%, 83%, 86%, 73% and 70% for MLP, SVM, RF, KNN, and LR respectively. The accuracy achieved higher than the current methodologies.
