Skin and venereal diseases
Dermatological diseases are conditions that directly affect the skin. They can appear at any stage of life and range in severity, from mild discomfort to more complex conditions requiring ongoing treatment.
Main skin diseases
Dermatitis
Causes redness, scaling, and itching. It can present in atopic, seborrheic, or contact forms.
Psoriasis
Characterized by the appearance of red patches and whitish scales, it is a chronic disease that occurs with flare-ups.
Acne
Appears as pimples, blackheads, or cysts. It’s common in adolescence, although it can also affect adults.
Skin infections
These can be bacterial, viral, or fungal. They range from warts to more persistent fungal infections.
What should you do if you develop a dermatological condition?
The first step is a proper medical evaluation. An early diagnosis helps control symptoms and prevent complications.
In many cases, treatment includes specific creams, oral medication, or daily care recommendations. Consistency is key to improving the appearance and health of your skin.
