In this work, we address the problem of skin cancer classification using convolutional neural networks. A lot of cancer cases early on are misdiagnosed as something else leading to severe consequences including the death of a patient. Also there are cases in which patients have some other problems and doctors think they might have skin cancer. This leads to unnecessary time and money spent for further diagnosis. In this work, we address both of the above problems using deep neural networks and transfer learning architecture. We have used publicly available ISIC databases for both training and testing our model. Our work achieves an accuracy of 0.935, precision of 0.94, recall of 0.77, F1 score of 0.85 and ROC- AUC of 0.861 which is better than the previous state of the art approaches.
