Rosacea is a skin condition where your face appears flushed or red with visible blood vessels. You may
also have small bumps with pus inside, hence it can look similar to acne or other skin problems. Rosacea
typically affects the nose and cheeks but can also affect your eyes, causing them to feel irritated and
bloodshot or watery. There's no cure for rosacea, but treatment can control and reduce the signs and
symptoms.
Eczema is a common inflammatory skin condition that cause itchiness, dry skin, rashes and dry patches.
This condition weakens your skin’s barrier function, which is responsible for helping your skin retain
moisture and protecting your body from outside elements. Apart from that, eczema can cause one to
scratch due to itchiness, causing breakage of the surface of your skin which can potentially lead to
infection.
Fungal infections are any disease or condition you get from a fungus. They usually affect your skin, hair,
nails or mucous membranes but they can also infect other parts of your body. You’re at higher risk for
fungal infections if you have a weakened immune system. Fungal infections on or in your skin can look
red, swollen or bumpy.
They can look like a rash or you might be able to see a lump under your skin.
Fungal infections in your nails can make them discolored (yellow, brown or white), thick or cracked.
Warts are small, grainy skin growths that occur most often on your fingers or hands caused by viral
infections. You are more likely to get them if there is a breakage or wound on your skin and then coming
in contact with contaminated surfaces. People with weakened immune systems, are more susceptible to
the virus that causes warts.
Hives, also known as urticaria, are red and itchy bumps on your skin. Urticaria can occur for many
reasons, including exposure to an allergen or a physical trigger, such as pressure from tight clothing.
Therefore, it is important to identify what triggers urticaria and avoid them as it differs from person to
person but unfortunately, it can be very difficult to do so as one can have multiple triggers.
Psoriasis is a long-lasting disease in which the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to
multiply too quickly. Normal skin cells completely grow and shed in a month.
With psoriasis, skin cells do
this in only three or four days and instead of shedding, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin.
This leads to plaques and scales appearing on any part of the body, although they are commonly found
on the elbows, knees, and scalp.
