Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) has started changing our perspectives in medical diagnostics since the introduction and development of convolutional neural networks, advanced machine learning, and deep learning approaches. Expert dermatologists have been used to diagnose diseases based on visual inspection, evaluating morphological parameters such as colors, shapes, and borders. AI uses computer systems and algorithms to mimic the cognitive functions of the human brain and to support the work of researchers and clinicians. In the last few years, there has been an enormous increase in the applications of AI in dermatology, for the detection and classification of skin cancer but also other skin diseases on all levels. Future challenges include the improvement of the diagnostic performance of AI systems for skin diseases, their standardization, the extension of the disease spectrum, and integration in daily clinical practice.
This Special Issue welcomes research papers, short communications, and reviews focusing on the latest advances in the use of AI approaches for the detection and severity grading of skin cancer, inflammatory skin diseases, and skin pathophysiology (skin aging, skin hydration) from the clinical, epidemiological, technical, and histopathological point of view.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
