Skin Conditions
Skin conditions come in many forms, each with its own treatment requirements. The more common forms include eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, folliculitis and, of course, skin acne. These diseases can leave you with a wide range of symptoms, some more painful than others and can show up as an itchy skin condition, pigmentation disorders, extremely dry skin conditions, sores and other unsightly skin appearances. Getting treatment for most skin conditions requires a trip to the dermatologist and advanced skincare.
This area of the Skinfare website provides information about some of the most common skin problems and the treatment options that are available to address them. Some of the key topics include:
Sun Damage - Far and away the skin's biggest enemy, the sun can have a dramatic impact on all facets of your skin from wrinkles to age spots to problems with the physical structures that support and nourish the skin.
Skin Rash - Rash is a generic term for a whole host of skin conditions. Most infections and bacteria that cause skin problems also cause irritation of the skin. These usually show up in the form of skin rashes. Depending on your situation, these can be a strong warning sign that chronic skin conditions may exist.
Age Spots - These skin discolorations (also known as solar lentigines) are the hallmark of overexposure to the sun. Unfortunately they are also one of the skin conditions that can contribute to an aged appearance. Simple things can be done to help prevent them from appearing.
Skin Infections - Bacteria, viruses and other pollutants can penetrate the skin and cause mild to very serious infections. Once they have taken hold, they often require prescription medication and the assistance of your dermatologist. Learn how to combat the skin diseases and conditions that can lead to infection.
Skin Diseases - Many skin conditions arise from diseases that affect the skin. These diseases can leave lasting marks on the skin and may require aggressive treatments to repair. A rare skin condition can also lead to hospitalization and worse depending on the diagnosis.
