Description

Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with an allergen. The result of the skin allergy is a red, itchy rash that can include small blisters or bumps. The rash arises whenever the skin comes into contact with the allergen, a substance that the immune system attacks. Eczema Eczema is a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Blisters may sometimes occur. Psoriasis Psoriasis is a skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. It is autoimmune disease. Leucoderma Vitiligo also called as ‘leucoderma’ is an autoimmune disorder wherein the immune system of the body attacks the healthy cells and, in turn, starts affecting the body. Vitiligo Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This can result in discolored patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair and mucous membranes. Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches. Atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It’s common in children but can occur at any age. Sun allergy A sun allergy is a condition that happens when the immune system reacts to sunlight. The immune system treats sun-altered skin as foreign cells, leading to the reactions. Chemical allergy Chemical allergy describes the adverse health effects that may result when exposure to a chemical elicits an immune response. Burns & scalds A burn is caused by dry heat – by an iron or fire, for example. A scald is caused by something wet, such as hot water or steam. Ornament allergy Jewellery allergy is a common cause of contact allergic dermatitis. Most jewellery allergy is caused by the metal nickel which is used in the manufacture of precious metal alloys.

Heels cracking Cracked heels also referred to as heel fissures are a common foot condition which can cause discomfort or painful. Plant / Flower allergy A plant allergy, also called allergic rhinitis or hay fever, is an allergic reaction caused by plants and their pollen. Wheat/Celiac allergy Wheat allergy sometimes is confused with celiac disease, but these conditions differ. Wheat allergy occurs when your body produces antibodies to proteins found in wheat. Urticarria Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly — either as a result of the body’s reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons. Blisters Blisters can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include burns, friction injuries or trauma. Melasma Melasma is a common skin problem.

These bumps are called blackheads because the surface looks dark or black. Pimples A pimple is a small pustule or papule. Pimples develop when sebaceous glands, or oil glands, become clogged and infected, leading to swollen, red lesions filled with pus. Also known as spots or zits, pimples are a part of acne. Acne Vulgaris Acne vulgaris is the formation of comedones, pustule, nodules, cysts as a result of inflammation of pilosebaceous units (hair follicals and sebaceous gland) are develop on face, upper trunk mostly adults.

It is a harmless (benign) hyperplasia of melanocytes which is linear in its spread. Boils A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and a tender lump develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus collects under the skin. Carbuncles A carbuncle is a red, swollen, and painful cluster of boils that are connected to each other under the skin. A boil (or furuncle) is an infection of a hair follicle that has a small collection of pus (called an abscess) under the skin. Abscess An abscess is a collection of pus that has built up within the tissue of the body. Signs and symptoms of abscesses include redness, pain, warmth, and swelling. The swelling may feel fluid-filled when pressed. The area of redness often extends beyond the swelling. Follicullitis Folliculitis is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed. It’s usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. At first it may look like small red bumps or white-headed pimples around hair follicles the tiny pockets from which each hair grows.

Filaria (elephantitis) Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by an infection with roundworms of the Filarioidea type. These are spread by blood-feeding insects such as black flies and mosquitoes. They belong to the group of diseases called helminthiases Impetigo Impetigo is a common and highly contagious skin infection that mainly affects infants and children. Impetigo usually appears as red sores on the face, especially around a child’s nose and mouth, and on hands and feet. Barbers Itch Barber’s itch is a staph infection of the hair follicles in the beard area, usually the upper lip. Shaving makes it worse.

It occurs with any skin injury, infection, or inflammation. Lichen (Prickly heat) Prickly heat is a skin rash caused by sweat trapped in the skin. Normally, sweat travels to the surface of the skin through tiny ducts. If the ducts become narrowed or clogged, the sweat is trapped in the skin. This can cause redness, itching, and small blisters. Cellulites Cellulite is the dimpled-looking skin that commonly occurs in the thigh region. It forms when fatty tissue deep in the skin pushes up against connective tissue. It’s estimated that more than 85 percent of all women 21 years and older have cellulite. It’s not as common in men.
