Abstract:	The aim of this research is to develop a rule-based expert system for skin problem consultation in the areas of acne, melasma, freckle, wrinkle, and uneven skin tone. The system provides pre-diagnosis and recommended treatment with Thai herbal recipes or Thai herbal cosmetics that can be used by the general public. The expert system was developed in the form of a web application for the users to access easily. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in Thai traditional medicine and there are a large variety of Thai herbs available for the skin problem treatment. Spreading the knowledge of Thai herbal medicine should therefore be made a top priority. This research aims to preserve and promote Thai knowledge and local wisdom of Thai herbal recipes for skin problem treatment to Thai people as well as world-wide population. The development of an expert system for the skin problem diagnosis and treatment with Thai herbs is the first step in that direction. The tool selected for developing the expert system is a software program written in the PHP language. MySQL database is used to work together with PHP for building database of the expert system. The system is web-based and can be reached from anywhere with Internet access. The developed expert system gave recommendations on the skin problem treatment with Thai herbal recipes and Thai herbal cosmetics based on 546 rules derived from primary and secondary sources. The system had been tested by 50 users consisting of dermatologists, Thai traditional medicine doctors, and general users. The developed system was considered good for learning and consultation. The present work showed how such a scattered body of traditional knowledge as Thai traditional medicine and herbal recipes could be collected, organized and made accessible to users and interested parties. The expert system developed herein should contribute in a meaningful way towards preserving the knowledge and helping promote the use of Thai traditional medicine as a practical alternative medicine for the treatment of illnesses
