# Skin Lesions Dataset
A dataset for 14 types of skin lesions classification consisted of merging [HAM10000(2019)](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/andrewmvd/isic-2019) and [MSLDv2.0](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/joydippaul/mpox-skin-lesion-dataset-version-20-msld-v20)

The dataset consisted of 14 categories:
- Actinic keratoses
- Basal cell carcinoma
- Benign keratosis-like-lesions
- Chickenpox
- Cowpox
- Dermatofibroma
- Healthy
- HFMD
- Measles
- Melanocytic nevi
- Melanoma
- Monkeypox
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Vascular lesions

## Load the dataset
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("ahmed-ai/skin-lesions-dataset")
```
