Updates

PRs warmly Welcomed! :)
Till 2020 May, the code still works (tested in a macOS Catalina V10.15.2, Python 2.7 env)! But I do admit it is a bit slow ;(

DermNet

Dermnet is a publicly available dataset of more than 23000 dermatologist-curated skin disease images. According to this doc, Dermnet organizes the skin diseases biologically in a two-level taxonomy. The bottom-level contains more than 600 skin diseases in a fine-grained granularity. The top-level contains 23 skin disease classes. Each of the top-level skin disease class contains a subcollection of the bottom-level skin diseases.
