We have made available some publicly accessible skin diseases images collections here: https://datasn.io/p/528
The APIs are all open. No registration required:

Wikimedia Commons has a few images: Start from the top category here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Diseases_and_disorders_of_the_skin
An API is available here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php
The files are quite heterogeneous. Some are drawings. I suspect they are not optimal, e.g., for training a machine learning classifier.
Besides the category system, the skin disease image files on Wikimedia Commons may also be identified with Wikidata through the Wikidata Query Service at https://query.wikidata.org, for instance, with the following SPARQL query:
#defaultView:ImageGrid
SELECT ?disease ?diseaseLabel ?image WHERE {
?disease wdt:P279+ wd:Q949302 ; wdt:P18 ?image .
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
}
The result is available at this link: http://tinyurl.com/ya3ogyq7
However, this query only identifies 75 images.
ISIC (International Skin Imaging Collaboration) - but with a focus on melanoma
ISIC has developed and is expanding an open source public access archive (ISIC Archive) of skin images to test and validate the proposed standards. This archive serves as a public resource of images for teaching and for the development and testing of automated diagnostic systems.
