Abstract

The skin is the outermost part of the human body that is often exposed to the environment, so it is easy to experience disease disorders. Some of the skin diseases that are often contracted in humans are ulcers, herpes, and warts. Untreated skin diseases will be very annoying because of the sensation of itching so it can cause irritation and inflammation. The ability to classify skin diseases using technology is one solution. This study uses the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) method to detect images of skin diseases. KNN is one of the machine learning methods with a calculation method based on the proximity of k. KNN was chosen because it is fast and has high-accuracy results. The results of the research that has been carried out have obtained results of accuracy of 63%, precision of 63%, recall of 63%, and F1 Score of 63%. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that disease detection using KNN has been successfully applied and can be used in classification.
