Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis, and Related Skin Conditions
Learn more about dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and related skin conditions at The International Eczema-Psoriasis Foundation.
There are approximately 176 different skin conditions. The four most common are as follow:
1) Dermatitis is a general term that describes an itchy skin with rashes or inflammation of the skin. There are different types of dermatitis, including seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis (eczema). Though the disorder can have many causes and occur in many forms, it usually involves swollen, reddened skin. Dermatitis is a common condition that is not life-threatening or contagious. But, it can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. A combination of self-care steps and medications can help you treat dermatitis. Learn more about dermatitis and Dermatitis-Ltd III.
2) Melanomas are malignant tumors and are one type of skin cancer but they cause the majority of skin cancer related deaths. The Melanoma's cause is due to uncontrolled growth of pigment cells (elanocytes). The best most effective treatment is surgical removal as soon as possible before it grows further. No further information is provided about melanomas here as it is more of a surgical solution that is to be quickly removed so we will continue with less complex skin disorders here such as acne.
3) Acne occurs when the skin pores become blocked, the skin oil called sebum becomes trapped and bacteria growth continues until it erupts. When the trapped sebum and bacteria stay below the skin surface, a whitehead or pustule is formed which finally erupts as to the various forms of acne while whiteheads appear as small yellowish white lesions. Many acne patients firmly believe that their acne is influenced by dietary factors, while in previous decades, doctors thought that diet had little influence on acne. For a bullet proof medical product, you may be very impressed with Acne-Ltd III. There is surprisingly little good scientific evidence to support or refute diet as a factor influencing acne, as some experts commonly believe. Most dermatologists are awaiting confirmatory research linking diet and acne but some support the idea that acne sufferers should experiment with their diets, and refrain from consuming such foods if they find such food affects the severity of their acne. This also applies to the belief that eating chocolate directly causes acne. A most generous large founding gift from the Milton S. Hershey Trust paid for the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Penn State College of Medicine and Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital and has continued with $5 to $10 million per year. Now you may figure out why there is a 'conflict' of diet effects on acne and many skin disorders.
4. Rosacea is characterized most often with the prominent red face, sometimes papules without pus and pimples with pus. More advanced cases have spidery blood vessels composed of arteries and veins. And the most advanced has a bulbulous nose. Rosacea is the most often misunderstood dermatological disorder. Any of these conditions can occur alone or in a combination of two or more which can sometimes make the diagnosis difficult. Some very insightful information on the causes of skin conditions can be found on the Rosacea-Ltd Etiology and Research Page.
