2. Types of Skin Disease Diagnosis of Psoriasis Doctors usually diagnose psoriasis after a careful examination of the skin. However, diagnosis may be difficult because psoriasis symptoms can be similar to those of other skin diseases. A pathologist may assist with diagnosis by conducting a biopsy: that is, examining a small skin sample under a microscope. There are several forms of psoriasis. The most common form is plaque psoriasis (its scientific name is psoriasis vulgaris). In plaque psoriasis, lesions have a reddened base covered by silvery scales. Other forms of psoriasis include Guttate psoriasis - Small, drop-like lesions appear on the trunk, limbs, and scalp. Guttate psoriasis is most often triggered by bacterial infections (for example, Streptococcus). Pustular psoriasis - Blisters of noninfectious pus appear on the skin. Attacks of Pustular psoriasis may be triggered by medications, infections, emotional stress, or exposure to certain chemicals. Pustular psoriasis may affect either small or large areas of the body. Inverse psoriasis - Large, dry, smooth, vividly red plaques occur in the folds of the skin near the genitals, under the breasts, or in the armpits. Inverse psoriasis is related to increased sensitivity to friction and sweating and may be painful or itchy. Erythrodermic psoriasis - Widespread reddening and scaling of the skin is often accompanied by itching or pain. Erythrodermic psoriasis may be precipitated by severe sunburn, use of oral steroids (such as cortisone), or a drug-related rash.

4. Types of Skin Disease Who gets Psoriasis? Psoriasis is linked to a genetic case, where a family association exists in one out of three cases. It often appears at between the ages of 15 and 35, but it can develop at any age. About 10 percent to 15 percent of those with psoriasis get it before age 10, and occasionally it appears in infancy. Psoriasis is not contagious, so one can "catch" it from another person. What are the most irritating locations for Psoriasis? Scalp: Scalp psoriasis occurs in at least half of all people with psoriasis. It can range from very mild with fine scaling to very severe with thick, crusted plaques. Genitals: Genital psoriasis acts similar to other affected parts of the body. But because of the sensitivity of the skin, this type may require special considerations. Hands and Feet: Pustular psoriasis can impair a person's ability to work. Plaque psoriasis can dry out the skin and cause cracking and bleeding. Nails: Nail changes occur in about half of those with psoriasis and 80 percent of those with psoriatic arthritis. The nails may have small holes (pitting), a changed shape (deformation), separation from the skin (oncholyosis) and discoloration.

6. Types of skin Disease Types of skin Disease Eczema / Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic itchy inflammatory skin disorder that affects about 10% of children to some extent. Many children with AD develop other symptoms of atopy such as food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis (hayfever). When inhaled or ingested allergens enter the bloodstream they can be carried to the skin, where they induce a chronic inflammation -- know as atopic dermatitis – in sensitized (atopic) individuals who possess T cells and IgE specific for an allergen. Allergens that act by direct skin contact can also incite inflammation. The immunologic response of the skin to antigen is complex, resulting in inflammation and localized tissue destruction. This chronic inflammation is called eczema and is the most prominent symptom of atopic dermatitis. Diagnosis History in infancy, clinical findings (typical distribution sites, morphology of lesions, while dermatographism).

7. Types of skin Disease Physical Examination Acute Poorly defined erythematous patches, papules, and plaques with or without scale. Edema with widespread involvement; skin appears “puffy” and edematous. Erosions: moist, crusted. Linear or punctuate, resulting from scratching. Secondarily infected sites: S. aureus. Oozing erosions and/or pustules (usually follicular). Chronic Lichenification (thickening of the skin with accentuation of skin markings): results from repeated rubbing or scratching. Fissures: painful, especially in flexures, on palms, fingers, and soles. Alopecia: lateral one-third of the eyebrows as a result of rubbing. Characteristic infraorbital fold in the eyelids (Dennie-Morgan sign).

8. Eczema Functions : Ec zema is a botanical compound formulated to assist the body in expelling and eliminating of fena, it also helps to facilitate detoxification process, thus enhancing the immune system. Indications : Atopic dermatitis, Eczema, Urticaria (hives), neurodermatitis (Lichen Simplex Chronicus), Seborrheic dermatitis, chronic prurigo (prurigo simplex), hypersensitive/allergic skin disease Estimated Recovery Period : For patients who have not been placed on immunosuppressant therapy: Approximately 120 days. Immunosuppressants UserImmunosuppressants User: For every month that the patient has been on immunosuppressants medications (PO, IM, IV), the time needed for recovery will be lengthened by seven times the usual healing period of 120 days, plus another 120 days. This is just a guideline, and the accuracy of the above assumption is determined by individual physiology as well as the accuracy of information and dosage information provided by the sufferer. Generally, the time to recovery is much longer and more unpredictable for patients with a history of immunosuppressant use. This is because the results are greatly influenced by the dosage and strength of the topical corticosteroid/phototherapy that was prescribed.
