    "actinic_keratosis": { 
        "description":"Actinic keratosis, also known as solar keratosis, is a common pre-cancerous skin condition characterized by the development of rough, scaly patches on the skin. It is often found in areas exposed to prolonged sunlight and can manifest as dry, crusty, or even wart-like growths.",
        "symptoms": "Actinic keratosis typically presents as rough, scaly patches on the skin, often in sun-exposed areas, and may occasionally itch or bleed.",
        "causes": "Prolonged sun exposure is the primary cause, leading to the accumulation of UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells.",
        "treatement-1": "Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the affected area with liquid nitrogen, can be effective in removing actinic keratosis lesions.",
        "treatement-2": " Topical creams like fluorouracil or imiquimod are used to treat multiple actinic keratosis spots by stimulating the immune system or promoting cell turnover"

    "Basal_cell_carcinoma": {
        "description": "Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, characterized by the appearance of pearly or waxy bumps on the skin's surface, often featuring visible blood vessels and a central crater-like depression. It can grow slowly, occasionally bleed or scab, and is primarily caused by cumulative exposure to UV radiation from the sun.",
        "symptoms": "Basal cell carcinoma typically appears as a pearly or waxy bump on the skin, often with visible blood vessels or a central crater-like depression, and it may occasionally bleed or develop a scab.",
        "causes": "Prolonged and cumulative exposure to UV radiation, often from the sun, is the primary cause of basal cell carcinoma.",
        "treatement-1": "Surgical removal, such as Mohs micrographic surgery, is a common and effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue.",
        "treatement-2": "Other treatment options include radiation therapy or topical medications, such as imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil, depending on the specific case and location of the tumor."

    "Dermatofibroma": {
        "description": "Dermatofibroma is a benign skin tumor that typically appears as a small, firm, brownish nodule on the skin's surface, often with a dimple or depression in the center, and it is caused by the overgrowth of fibrous tissue in response to minor skin trauma or insect bites." ,
        "symptoms": "Dermatofibromas are generally asymptomatic but may occasionally itch, feel tender, or become darker in color over time.",
        "causes": "The development of dermatofibromas is often associated with minor skin injuries or insect bites, leading to the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the affected area.",
        "treatement-1": "Dermatofibromas are typically harmless, and treatment is not always necessary, but if removal is desired for cosmetic reasons, surgical excision can be performed.",
        "treatement-2": "In some cases, cryotherapy or laser therapy may also be considered for dermatofibroma removal."
    },
    "melanoma": {
        "description": "Melanoma is a potentially deadly form of skin cancer that originates in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, often appearing as an irregularly shaped, multicolored mole or lesion, and it has the capacity to spread to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early." ,
        "symptoms": "Symptoms of melanoma may include changes in the color, size, shape, or texture of moles or the development of new, atypical moles, as well as itching, bleeding, or ulceration.",
        "causes": "Prolonged exposure to UV radiation from sunlight, as well as genetic factors, can contribute to the development of melanoma.",
        "treatement-1": "Treatment for melanoma usually involves surgical removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue, often followed by a sentinel lymph node biopsy to determine if the cancer has spread.",
        "treatement-2": "In advanced cases, treatments may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the extent of the disease."
    },
    "nevus": {
        "description": "A nevus, commonly referred to as a mole, is a benign skin growth or pigmented spot that can appear anywhere on the body and is typically caused by a cluster of melanocytes, often presenting as a brown, black, or flesh-colored mark with a range of sizes and shapes." ,
        "symptoms": "Nevus moles are typically harmless, but they can vary in appearance and may occasionally become raised, change in color, or exhibit other atypical features that warrant medical attention.",
        "causes": " Nevus moles are primarily caused by the proliferation of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the skin, with some being present from birth (congenital) and others developing later in life (acquired).",
        "treatement-1": "Most nevus moles do not require treatment, but if a mole shows signs of atypia or poses cosmetic concerns, it can be removed through surgical excision.",
        "treatement-2": "Regular monitoring of moles for changes in size, shape, or color is important for early detection of any abnormalities or potential melanoma."
    },
    "pigmented_benign ": {
        "description": "Pigmented benign lesions refer to skin growths or spots that are non-cancerous and characterized by the presence of pigmentation, often appearing as moles, freckles, or other pigmented marks on the skin." ,
        "symptoms": "Pigmented benign lesions typically do not cause symptoms and are considered harmless, but monitoring for any changes in color, size, or shape is advisable",
        "causes": "These lesions are primarily caused by the accumulation of melanin, the skin's pigment, and can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life due to sun exposure or other factors.",
        "treatement-1": "In most cases, pigmented benign lesions do not require treatment unless they become problematic, atypical, or for cosmetic reasons, in which case they can be surgically removed.",
        "treatement-2": "Regular skin examinations and consultations with a dermatologist are recommended to ensure the proper assessment of pigmented benign lesions and their potential for change or malignancy."

    "seborrheic_keratosis": {

    "squamous_cell_carcinoma": {
        "description": "Squamous cell carcinoma is a common form of skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells of the skin, often appearing as a red, scaly, or crusty lesion with the potential to grow, invade surrounding tissues, and metastasize." ,

        "causes": "Prolonged exposure to UV radiation from sunlight, as well as other environmental factors and a history of skin damage, can contribute to the development of squamous cell carcinoma.",
        "treatement-1": "Treatment typically involves surgical excision to remove the cancerous lesion and a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.",
        "treatement-2": "In advanced cases or when the cancer has spread, additional treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy may be considered."

    "vascular_lesion": {
        "description": " A vascular lesion is a term that encompasses a variety of skin abnormalities caused by abnormal blood vessels, including conditions like port-wine stains, hemangiomas, and telangiectasias, which result in red or purple discolorations on the skin's surface." ,
