Skin Diseases Disorders
There are so many skin diseases that are known to afflict both human beings and other animals today. Most of these are not skin diseases per se but are just symptoms of other deadly diseases for example parasitism while other skin ailments occur on their own, like rabies.
They cause a lot of discomfort especially when they appear on sensitive areas such as the face. The good news though is that they are not only completely curable but also relatively easy to cure.
The most common skin diseases are the pimples and the blotches. These may occur on any part of the body though they are most prominent on the face, neck; chest and back. Pimples are more prevalent in boys during puberty stage than in girls. This can be attributed to different factors including increased appetite which means no restriction on the intake of fats.
Another common skin ailment apart from pimple is acne. This is a chronic inflammatory disease which is characterized by an imbalance of lesions in the skin. They could be minute or large and disfiguring. Normally, the size of the lesion is small red or dark red pinhead or papules the size of the pea. They cause the skin to appear greasy, thick and untidy. Oftentimes, pus and sebaceous stuff can be seen from the lesions. When these lesions reach a certain point, they may erupt and at the same time some form, mature and heal. These are usually disfiguring and irksome, but they can completely be removed. However, the scars left are not easily removed.
Another of the known skin conditions that affect people most commonly is eczema. It is also an inflammatory condition of the skin which appears on any part of the body and is more or less chronic. It is characterized by intense itching and irritation which results to the surface or the skin being either moist or dry.
One of the causes of the skin conditions named above is a general or systematic toxemia. This is as a result of constipation which alternates with diarrhea. Sometimes, there is just normal frequency of the stool but which is extremely foul. This is because the blood stream has absorbed a lot of foul elements which must be released.
Another cause of the lesions is the irregularity of the menstrual condition. Also, hygienic conditions, especially in dirty or dusty environs cause skin conditions.

Common Skin Diseases
Common Skin Diseases
The largest organ of the human body is the skin. The function that the skin serves in the human body cannot be overlooked. It is through the skin that the human body is protected from the hazards of the harsh environment. We are protected from the ultra violet rays of the sun by the melanin in our skin which also gives the skin its pigmentation. Pigmentation is different in different races; which makes some people darker than others. The skin helps to regulate the body's temperature by sweating, which cools the body. Sweat is also form of waste removal from the human body.
The skin is subject to skin disease if not taken care of well, if a person comes across an allergen or due to genetic predisposition. Protecting the skin from the rays of the sun is one way of preventing skin disease. The rays of the sun are harmful in large amounts and can lead to skin cancer and sunburn. Stay indoors on a hot day or wear a hat. Better yet, you can apply some sunscreen on your way out. Other common skin diseases are eczema dermatitis, herpes and warts.
You are susceptible to getting warts on your skin if you walk barefoot and on wet surfaces. They mostly affect the soles of the feet and the palms of the fingers. It is caused by a virus. A red itchy skin is a sign of dermatitis. Dermatitis is caused by an allergen. If you are allergic to any substance, you need to steer clear of the allergen to prevent a reaction which could cause your skin to get rashes.
The above four diseases are common since they are spread by contact. Other skin diseases like vitiligo and skin cancer are not spread by contact and a person will more often get it due to genetics. Skin cancer is curable through chemotherapy if diagnosed in the early stages. Vitiligo is not curable and is accompanied by depression and other psychological effects due to the effect it has on the physical appearance of the person. It manifests itself as irregular loss of pigmentation on the skin, which advances to other parts of the body thus altering the appearance of the sufferer. It can be hidden by makeup in the early stages.
Living a healthy lifestyle is the best way to prevent skin disease. Eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water. Avoid smoking and cleanse the skin several times a day. Use moisturizer on the skin to keep it soft and supple
