Rosacea

Mar 12

Written By Dermatology of North Asheville

Rosacea causes redness in the central face and nose and is often associated with acne-like bumps. There are several different types of rosacea. The most common types involve facial redness, facial redness with pimples and pus-filled bumps, and rhinophymatous rosacea, the latter of which involves enlargement of the nose. Some people only have the redness of rosacea and lack pimples. Sun damage plays a big part in the development of rosacea and although antibiotics are often used to decrease inflammation associated with this skin condition, rosacea is not thought to represent any type of infection.

People with intertrigo tend to have irritated red skin in the skin folds. This can occur in any place where the skin comes in contact with skin, such as the underarm area, under the breasts, and in the skin folds of the abdomen or groin.

Acne

Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked due to build-up of excess skin cells and oily secretions of the skin. The factors that contribute to this “clogging” of the pores are influenced by many factors most notably hormones involved in growth.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin disease in which autoimmunity plays an important role. In psoriasis the immune system targets the skin and leads to inflammation which looks like red scaly patches on the body.

Eczema Management
