Common skin conditions include acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, and contact dermatitis.
🩺 Acne
Acne typically appears as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads mostly during adolescence but can affect adults too. It occurs when hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
🩺 Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema causes itchy, red, dry, and inflamed patches on the skin. Triggers often include allergens, irritants, or stress, and it commonly affects children and adults with sensitive skin.
🩺 Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic condition marked by thick, scaly, red patches that can be itchy or painful. It often appears on the scalp, elbows, and knees and tends to flare up over time.
🩺 Fungal Infections
Common fungal infections include ringworm (causes round, red patches) and candidiasis (yeast infection usually in moist skin areas). They often cause itching and discomfort.
🩺 Contact Dermatitis
This results from direct skin contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness, itching, and sometimes blisters or swelling.
🩺 Other Common Conditions
Warts (small, rough lumps caused by a virus) and rosacea (facial redness and pimples) are also frequent skin issues.
For an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
