Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: The enemies of Beauty discussed<\/a><\/h1>\n
\"Common<\/a>
Common Skin conditions and Health Risks. We have over 3000 skin disorders affecting the good health of our skin. The sun rays is one of the major problem to the health of the skin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In our quest to have a smooth sailing in our daily activities we are often faced with various challenges in life. We have the economic, social, health, emotional and physical challenges among many others. This article is going to continue with the discussion about the health challenges from where we left in the previous article. Ideally the most valuable asset one can ever possess is good health. When you\u2019re healthy, everything around you is happy and healthy too. This is the desire of every one however there are certain common skin conditions and health risks which fight this good will. And like I had said before this is what doctor Akoury is going to help us understand in this continuation. We are therefore going to zero into conditions affecting the good health of the skin as follows:<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Razor Bumps<\/a><\/h2>\n

Razor bumps is a form of folliculitis which occurs in areas of the skin where the hair have been recently cut or removed. It is commonly occurring in the beard area of individuals with very tightly coiled hair. When the hair is cut off or plucked out below the level of the follicular pore, it has a habit of to curling into the side of the follicle where it causes an inflammatory bump. For prevention purposes it would be very important that when shaving the hair, deep shaving should be avoided that is to say the hair should not be shaved too close to the skin.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Skin Tags<\/a><\/h3>\n

These are (Skin tags) small, fleshy, fibro vascular, pedunculated (on a stalk) growths commonly found on the neck and armpits. They are generally asymptomatic unless they become irritated by frictional forces or their blood supply becomes compromised. They are very common and need not be removed or destroyed unless they become irritated.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Athlete’s Foot<\/a><\/h4>\n

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is an infection of the dead superficial layer of the skin called the stratum corneum by a fungal mold known as dermatophyte. If inflammator<\/a>y, it is likely to produce an itchy blistering eruption. Non inflammatory tinea pedis produces a dry scaling appearance and is frequently not very irritating. In most cases one can contract tinea pedis by walking periodically in the wash rooms barefoot. This problem can be solved by the use of topical antifungal creams available over the counter. It is important that when this is noticed, then treatment needs to start immediately.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Moles<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

Although the term mole may cover a variety of different sorts of skin growths, most often it refers to a localized accumulation of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. These are generally uniform in color and round in shape. Melanocytic nevi (moles) range in color from beige to black. Poorly pigmented individuals may have an average of 35 of these growths by the time they are 35 years old. These are benign lesions but can be confused with various pigmented skin cancers. Pigmented lesions that itch, bleed, or grow could be a cause for concern.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Age or Liver Spots<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n

Liver spots are flat brown spots caused by exposure to the sun. They normally appear on the face and forearms. Even though they cause no symptoms, they are very uncomfortable to have. There presence actually causes the affected patients to be very uncomfortable with their unsightly appearance. They can be eliminated in a number of ways, and it would be very important that the affected patients limit their exposure to ultraviolet light<\/a> to prevent recurrences.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Pityriasis Rosea<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This rash usually begins in a young adult as a single scaling bump or patch and then extends to cover much of the torso with hundreds of scaling spots that are elliptical in shape. They are associated with modest itching which only occasionally requires treatment. The condition usually lasts about nine weeks in total. Blood testing may be required to diagnose Pityriasis Rosea.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Melasma<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This condition occurs most commonly in women of childbearing age and is often associated with pregnancy or the ingestion of oral contraceptive medication. This flat brownish pigmentation occurs<\/a> on the forehead, cheeks, and in the mustache area of the upper lip. It often persists after pregnancy or after birth control has ceased. Sunlight<\/a> will make it darker. Successful treatment is not easy, and strict sun avoidance is a necessity.<\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Warts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The development of small keratotic tumors of the skin is caused by one of about 200 members of the human papillomavirus group. They often spontaneously go away, but particularly stubborn warts may require medical intervention. The proliferation of various treatments reflects the fact that successful resolution mostly depends upon the patient’s immune response. There are a variety of treatments available without a prescription that ought to be tried prior to seeing a physician.<\/p>\n

Seborrheic Keratoses<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the single most common benign bump present on human beings as they age. Lesions may be present anywhere on the body and generally do not produce symptoms. They appear as black, brown, or yellow bumpy lesions which give the appearance of having been “glued” onto the skin. They are of no medical significance aside from the fact that they are occasionally confused with pigmented skin cancers.<\/a><\/p>\n

Common Skin conditions and Health Risks: Seborrhea Dermatitis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Seborrheic dermatitis is the single most common rash affecting most adults. However when it occurs in infancy it is always referred to us cradle cap. In adults it tends to favor the scalp, skin behind the ears, forehead, brows, nasolabial folds of the face, mid-chest area, and the mid-back, producing an itchy, red scaling dermatitis. The scaling in the scalp can be conspicuous, producing impressive dandruff. However the cause of this condition is unclear, but it responds well to topical steroids and to topical antifungal creams. Medicated shampoos containing tar, selenium sulfide, and zinc pyrithione are often effective. This condition commonly improves spontaneously but will ultimately recur. The bad news is that at the moment, there is no known cure meaning that treatment or management will be done indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Finally when the best and most valuable asset is under threat, then we must take all the necessary precautions to remedy the situation. In this case professionalism would be highly recommended. Your choice of the experts is also very important less you hand over your valuable asset to the most inexperienced person. In this regard you will need to schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury the founder and MD of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. This is the place to be and you will be treated with dignity, respect and confidentiality by all standards. Up on carrying out an evaluation on your case, doctor Akoury will apply the best natural treatment means which will leave your skin much younger, glowing and full of health for a very long time.<\/p>\n
