  abstract = {Scalp and hair diseases, affecting millions worldwide, pose significant challenges regarding accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Traditionally reliant on expert evaluation, these conditions can often be misdiagnosed due to their complex and overlapping symptoms. In recent times, especially in information technology, convolutional neural networks (CNNS) have become more prominent thanks to their ability to analyse and process image data for classification and recognition tasks. CNNs learn to recognize patterns from images through convolutional layers to detect characteristic features in image sand have revolutionized the field of image recognition, offering promising applications in medical diagnostics. Despite their potential, few studies have thoroughly explored the capabilities of multiple CNN architecturesin the context of dermatology. This study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of several CNN models—VGG16, VGG19 , Inception-V3, ResNet50, and ResNet152--in detecting scalp and hair diseases. The findings indicate that VGG16 and VGG19 consistently outper for mother models in accuracy across all disease categories, demon strating their robustness and reliability for this application. By providing a comparative analysis of these architectures with a user interface (UI), we seek to advance automated diagnostic methods, ultimately enhancing clinical decision-making and patient care.},
