    SKIN CONDITIONS

    SHINGLES (HERPES
    ZOSTER)

    Shingles is a viral infection that causes a


    painful rash. Although shingles can occur
    anywhere on your body, it most often
    appears as a single stripe of blisters that
    wraps around either the left or the right
    side of your torso. Shingles is caused by
    the varicella-zoster virus — the same
    virus that causes chickenpox.
    H I V E S ( U RT I C A R I A )

    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. .
    PSORIASIS

    Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy


    scaly patches, most commonly on the knees,
    elbows, trunk and scalp. Psoriasis is a common,
    long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It tends
    to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or
    months, then subsiding for a while or going into
    remission.
    ECZEMA

    Eczema is a condition where patches of skin


    become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough.
    Blisters may sometimes occur. Different stages
    and types of eczema affect 31.6 percent of people
    in the United States.
    SKIN TAG

    A skin tag is a small, soft, flesh-colored


    benign skin growth, often on a
    stalk. Skin tags are probably the single
    most common bump on adult skin. Skin
    tags are harmless but can be an
    annoying skin problem. 
    ACNE

    Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-


    term skin disease that occurs when
    dead skin cells and oil from the skin clog hair
    follicles. Typical features of
    the condition include blackheads or
    whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible
    scarring.
    ATHLETE’S FOOT

    Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal


    infection that usually begins between the
    toes. It commonly occurs in people
    whose feet have become very sweaty while
    confined within tightfitting shoes.
    MOLES

    Moles are a common type of skin


    growth. They often appear as small, dark
    brown spots and are caused by clusters of
    pigmented cells. Moles generally appear
    during childhood and adolescence.
    WARTS

    A wart is a small growth with a rough texture


    that can appear anywhere on the body. It can
    look like a solid blister or a small
    cauliflower. Warts are caused by viruses in the
    human papillomavirus (HPV) family. The
    appearance of a wart depends on its location
    on the body and the thickness of the skin.
