Acne Treatment
Acne is the most frequent skin condition seen by medical professionals. It consists of pimples that appear on the face, back and chest. About 80% of adolescents have some form of acne and about 5% of adults experience acne. In normal skin, oil glands under the skin, known as sebaceous glands, produce an oily substance called sebum.
Hair Loss Treatment
There are several factors that can contribute to hair loss, such as stress, and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy. The most common cause is hereditary hair loss. There are several factors that can contribute to hair loss, such as stress, and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy.
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a skin condition that creates red patches of skin with white, flaky scales. It most commonly occurs on the elbows, knees and trunk, but can appear anywhere on the body. The first episode usually strikes between the ages of 29 to 39. It is a chronic condition that will then cycle through flare-ups and remissions throughout the rest of the patient’s life.
Rashes
“Rash” is a general term for a wide variety of skin conditions. A rash refers to a change that affects the skin and usually appears as a red patch or small bumps or blisters on the skin. The majority of rashes are harmless and can be treated effectively with over-the-counter anti-itch creams, antihistamines and moisturizing lotions.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness,
acne-like pimples,
visible small blood vessels on the face,
swelling and/or watery,
irritated eyes. This inflammation of the face can affect the cheeks,
nose,
chin,
forehead or eyelids. It is not contagious,
but there is some evidence to suggest that it is inherited.
Skin Cancer Treatment
Skin cancer is the most common form of human cancers. Skin cancers are generally curable if caught early. However,people who have had skin cancer are at a higher risk of developing a new skin cancer,
which is why regular self-examination and doctor visits are imperative.
Warts
Warts are small, harmless growths that appear most frequently on the hands and feet. Sometimes they look flat and smooth, other times they have a dome-shaped or cauliflower-like appearance. Warts can be surrounded by skin that is either lighter or darker. Warts are caused by different forms of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). They occur in people of all ages and can spread from person-to-person and from one part of the body to another.
Keloids
A keloid scar is a thick raised scar. It can occur wherever you have a skin injury but usually forms on earlobes, shoulders, cheeks or the chest. If you're prone to developing keloids, you might get them in more than one place.A keloid scar isn't harmful to your physical health, but it can cause emotional distress. Prevention or early treatment is key.
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes patchy hair loss anywhere on your body, but it most commonly affects the hair on the skin that covers your head (scalp). Your immune system attacks your hair follicles because it thinks they’re foreign invaders.
Corn/ calluses
Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that form as a protective response to repeated friction or pressure. They usually develop on the feet or hands, where the skin is subjected to constant rubbing or pressure from activities like walking, wearing ill-fitting shoes, or using certain tools.
