Acne
Acne is a common skin condition resulting from clogged hair follicles and oil glands, leading to pimples, blackheads, and cysts. It primarily affects the face, neck, chest, and back. Acne can cause discomfort and impact self-esteem, but various treatments are available to manage and reduce its symptoms effectively.
Eczema
Eczema, or dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition causing inflamed, itchy, and red patches. Common triggers include allergens, irritants, and stress. It frequently affects the face, hands, and body folds. Managing eczema involves using moisturizers, avoiding triggers, and applying medications to control inflammation and alleviate symptoms.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by rapid skin cell turnover, leading to thick, red, scaly patches. It often appears on the scalp, elbows, and knees. Triggers include stress, infections, and certain medications. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and slow cell growth with topical treatments, phototherapy, and systemic medications.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition causing facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. It commonly affects the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Triggers include sunlight, stress, spicy foods, and alcohol. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with topical medications, oral antibiotics, laser therapy, and lifestyle changes to avoid triggers.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, arises from abnormal skin cell growth due to UV radiation. Symptoms include new or changing moles, lesions, or sores that don't heal. Early detection and treatment are crucial, involving surgical removal, radiation, or topical therapies to prevent spread and complications.
Warts
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear on hands, feet, and other body parts. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact. Treatment options include cryotherapy, salicylic acid, laser therapy, and topical treatments to remove the wart and prevent recurrence.
Hives
Hives, or urticaria, are itchy, raised welts on the skin caused by an allergic reaction, stress, or other triggers. They can vary in size and appear anywhere on the body. Hives often resolve on their own but can be treated with antihistamines and avoiding known triggers to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Dermatitis
Dermatitis is an umbrella term for inflammatory skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Symptoms include redness, itching, and swelling. It can be triggered by allergens, irritants, and genetic factors. Treatment involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using moisturizers, and applying topical corticosteroids or other prescribed medications.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin disorder causing loss of skin color in patches. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells producing pigment, die or stop functioning. The exact cause is unclear, but factors include autoimmune conditions and genetic predisposition. Treatment options aim to restore pigment or even skin tone and may include topical medications, light therapy, and surgery.
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition causing dark, discolored patches on the face, particularly in women during pregnancy or due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetics. Treatment includes topical medications, chemical peels, and laser therapy to lighten pigmentation and prevent recurrence, often combined with sun protection measures.
