SkinAgent AI: A Safety-Grounded Multimodal Agentic Framework for Non-Diagnostic Skincare Support

SkinAgent AI is a multimodal, safety‑grounded framework designed for non‑diagnostic skincare support. It routes visual concerns (Acne, Pores, Wrinkles), estimates skin type from photographs, and provides count‑informed acne severity, all while grounding recommendations in a database and enforcing deterministic safety, privacy, and evidence checks. The system achieved high accuracy in routing and skin‑type estimation, and demonstrated no safety or privacy violations in controlled tests, though tool‑selection errors and incomplete product grounding remain.

CG-HAF: An Interpretable Global-Local Lesion-Burden Fusion Framework for Ordinal Acne Severity Grading in Agentic Skincare Support

CG-HAF is a global‑local fusion framework for ordinal acne severity grading that explicitly combines holistic facial severity probabilities with structured lesion‑burden descriptors such as lesion count, detection confidence, and lesion area. The model uses a lightweight, interpretable classifier to produce the final grade, achieving statistically significant improvements over global‑evidence‑only baselines, especially for severe cases. Cross‑dataset testing reveals that strong performance within a dataset does not automatically transfer, largely due to mismatched grading criteria rather than detection failures.

Disease Burden over Skin Tone: Decomposing the Dermatology-AI Generalization Gap

The study examines why dermatology AI models, largely trained on light‑skinned, cancer‑focused images, perform poorly when applied to diverse patient populations. By comparing a cancer‑trained baseline, two dermatology foundation models, and a general‑purpose vision model on tone‑stratified and disease‑shifted datasets, the authors find that disease‑distribution shift, rather than skin‑tone underrepresentation, is the primary cause of generalization failure. Representation analysis shows that cancer‑specialized features lack transferable structure, while dermatology‑pretrained features maintain stronger clustering, and lightweight adaptation with about ten labeled examples per category can recover most performance.
