Skin Disorders
The skin is a complex organ, composed of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the thin, outermost layer of the skin. Under the epidermis is a thicker layer of skin called the dermis. Skin disorders are related to the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Skin disorders include a wide range of conditions and may be a sign of an underlying illness. The most common skin ailments are eczema, dermatitis, acne, skin blemishes.Eczema
Eczema is a term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated. The most common type of eczema is known as atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema. Atopic refers to a group of diseases with an often inherited tendency to develop other allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever.
Most infants who develop the condition outgrow it by their tenth birthday, while some people continue to have symptoms on and off throughout life. With proper treatment, the disease often can be controlled.
No matter which part of the skin is affected, eczema is almost always itchy. Sometimes the itching will start before the rash appears, but when it does, the rash most commonly appears on the face, back of the knees, wrists, hands, or feet. It may also affect other areas as well.
Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened, or scaly. In fair-skinned people, these areas may initially appear reddish and then turn brown. Among darker-skinned people, eczema can affect pigmentation, making the affected area lighter or darker.
In infants, the itchy rash can produce an oozing, crusting condition that happens mainly on the face and scalp, but patches may appear anywhere.
Cause
The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it's thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body's immune system to an irritant. It is this response that causes the symptoms of eczema.
In addition, eczema is commonly found in families with a history of other allergies or asthma. Also, defects in the skin barrier could allow moisture out and germs in.
Some people may have "flare-ups" of the itchy rash in response to certain substances or conditions. For some, coming into contact with rough or coarse materials may cause the skin to become itchy. For others, feeling too hot or too cold, exposure to certain household products like soap or detergent, or coming into contact with animal dander may cause an outbreak.
Upper respiratory infections or colds may also be triggers. Stress may cause the condition to worsen.
Dermatitis
Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin. Depending on the type of dermatitis, areas of skin may become red and itchy with some acute attacks causing crusty scales or blisters that ooze fluid.Acne vulgaris (Pimples)
Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. Some people call it blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples, or zits. When you have just a few red spots, or pimples, you have a mild form of acne. Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that can cover the face, neck, chest, and back. Or it can be bigger, solid, red lumps that are painful (cysts).Acne is very common among teens. It usually gets better after the teen years. Some women who never had acne growing up will have it as an adult, often right before their menstrual periods.Leucoderma
Leucoderma is a cutaneous condition, an acquired condition with localized loss of pigmentation of the skin that may occur after any number of inflammatory skin conditions, burns, intralesional steroid injections, postdermabrasion, etc. It is largely a cosmetic problem, and is neither infectious nor contagious.Causes
Skin diseases are usually due to bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Sunlight contains harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage the skin. Sunburn increases the chance of developing tanned skin. Skin disorders are also caused due to Hormonal imbalance in the body, hectic lifestyle, weak immune system, stress, disturbed sleep, environmental changes and unhealthy diet.Consequences
It is impossible to hide skin blemishes when they affect the face and other exposed parts. Any irritation of skin is easily noticed and such skin disorder not only affects physical health, but also affects the emotional well-being. If not treated at the right time, skin disorders often worsen and can even lead to deeper emotional issues such as low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.Food Regime
