“…Hair is not only a critical aspect of physical appearance but also serves as an indicator for overall health. 16 Both men and women take immense pride in their hair, making hair-related issues a source of significant concern for many. Hair loss, in particular, is not just a cosmetic problem but can be an early indicator of deeper health problems or congenital anomalies.…”

BackgroundHair and scalp disorders present a significant challenge in dermatology due to their clinical diversity and overlapping symptoms, often leading to misdiagnoses. Traditional diagnostic methods rely heavily on clinical expertise and are limited by subjectivity and accessibility, necessitating more advanced and accessible diagnostic tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning offer a promising solution for more accurate and efficient diagnosis.MethodsThe research employs a modified Xception model incorporating ReLU activation, dense layers, global average pooling, regularization and dropout layers. This deep learning approach is evaluated against existing models like VGG19, Inception, ResNet, and DenseNet for its efficacy in accurately diagnosing various hair and scalp disorders.ResultsThe model achieved a 92% accuracy rate, significantly outperforming the comparative models, with accuracies ranging from 50% to 80%. Explainable AI techniques like Gradient‐weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad‐CAM) and Saliency Map provided deeper insights into the model's decision‐making process.ConclusionThis study emphasizes the potential of AI in dermatology, particularly in accurately diagnosing hair and scalp disorders. The superior accuracy and interpretability of the model represents a significant advancement in dermatological diagnostics, promising more reliable and accessible diagnostic methods.
