Do you have eczema? It’s itchy, red, and dry skin caused by inflammation and about 30 million Americans suffer from some from it – that’s ten percent of the American population!
How about psoriasis? Psoriasis is not just a skin condition – it is an autoimmune disease that causes raised, red, scaly patches to appear anywhere on the skin, but typically on the outside of the elbows, knees or scalp. Psoriasis is itchy, and it burns and stings. A rash that won’t go away could be psoriasis.
What about acne? It might be easier to ask who HASN’T suffered from acne! Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. Acne, or acne vulgaris, starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up pores, causing blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples or zits. A few red spots, or pimples, is a mild outbreak. Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that covering the face, neck, chest, and back, or bigger, solid, painful red lumps (cysts). The pimples and bumps heal slowly, but when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent.
And then there’s rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that appears as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. It flares up and then goes away. In some cases, rosacea may also occur on the neck, chest, scalp or ears. Over time, the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue. In many rosacea patients, the eyes are also affected, and will feel irritated and appear watery or bloodshot. Rosacea usually begins after age 30.
