Common skin conditions vary widely in their causes and symptoms, affecting individuals of all ages.

Acne is prevalent among teenagers and adults, characterised by pimples, blackheads, and cysts primarily on the face, chest, and back.

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, leads to itchy, inflamed patches, often triggered by allergens or irritants.

Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition, results in thick, scaly plaques typically on the elbows, knees, and scalp.

Rosacea, more common in fair-skinned individuals, causes redness and visible blood vessels on the face.

Fungal infections like athlete’s foot and ringworm cause itchy, red, ring-shaped rashes.

Other conditions such as hives, caused by allergic reactions, and dermatitis, from contact with irritants, further illustrate the diverse nature of skin ailments.

Regular skincare and proper hygiene help manage these conditions effectively.
