Your . skin is considered the largest organ in the human body.. Your . skin is made up of three major layers - epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (also called the subcutaneous tissue).. Your . skin loses about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells from the surface almost every minute, even though you do not see it happening.. Four Stages in Skin Healing. Inflammation. Blood flow increases. Phagocytes attracted. Scab formation. Cell division and migration. Scar formation. Bleeding occurs at the site of injury immediately after the injury, and mast cells in the region trigger an inflammatory response.. UV light from the sun or sunbeds.

The clinical ABCD (asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation and diameter greater than 6mm) rule is one of the most widely used methods for early melanoma recognition. However, accurate classification of melanoma is still extremely difficult due to following reasons(not limited to): great visual resemblance between melanoma and non-melanoma skin lesions, less contrast difference between skin and the lesions etc. There is an ever-growing need of correct and reliable detection of skin cancers. Advances in the field of deep learning deems it perfect for the task of automatic detection and is very useful to pathologists as they aid them in terms of efficiency and accuracy. . pT. ) staging changes from Jan 2018.
