Skin, Hair & Nail Diseases

ACne

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It results in pimples, blackheads, and cysts, typically on the face, chest, and back. Treatment options include topical creams, oral medications, and lifestyle changes to manage and prevent flare-ups.

Rosacea

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes pimples, primarily on the face. It can cause flare-ups triggered by factors like sun exposure, stress, or certain foods. Treatment options include topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.

Dry skin

Dry skin

Dry skin, or xerosis, occurs when the skin loses moisture, leading to tightness, flakiness, and irritation. Common causes include cold weather, low humidity, harsh soaps, and certain medical conditions. Treatment involves using moisturizers, avoiding hot water, and applying gentle skincare products to restore hydration and protect the skin's barrier.

Skin tags , warts and moles

Skin tags , warts and moles

Skin tags are small, benign growths of skin that typically appear in areas where skin rubs together. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can develop on various parts of the body. Moles are growths of pigment-producing cells. Treatment options for all include removal through freezing, surgery, or topical treatments.

HAIR DIseases

HAIR DIseases

Hair diseases include conditions like alopecia (hair loss), dandruff, scalp infections, and seborrheic dermatitis. Causes range from genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, and nutritional deficiencies to fungal infections. Treatment varies based on the condition, involving medications, shampoos, topical treatments, or lifestyle changes to promote hair health and prevent further damage.

Corns and calluses

Corns and calluses

Corns and calluses are thickened skin areas caused by repeated friction or pressure. Corns usually form on toes and are smaller with a hard center, while calluses develop on the feet or hands and are larger, with less defined edges. Treatment includes moisturizing, proper footwear, and sometimes professional removal to prevent discomfort.

Toe nail fungus

Toe Nail Fungus

Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that causes thickened, discolored, and brittle toenails. It can result from exposure to damp environments, poor hygiene, or underlying health conditions. Treatment typically involves antifungal creams, oral medications, and in severe cases, nail removal to eradicate the infection and restore nail health.

Dermatoscopy

Dermatoscopy

Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used by dermatologists to examine skin lesions, moles, and other growths in detail. Using a handheld device called a dermatoscope, it allows for magnified visualization of skin structures and patterns, helping in the early detection of skin cancer, melanoma, and other skin conditions.

Open pores

Open pores

Open pores are enlarged pores that occur when the skin produces excess oil, often due to genetics, aging, or environmental factors. They are commonly found on the face, especially in areas like the nose and cheeks. Treatment options include using pore-minimizing skincare products, exfoliation, and professional treatments like chemical peels to reduce their appearance.

Skin allergy testing

Skin allergy testing

Skin allergy testing is a procedure used to identify allergens that trigger allergic reactions. It involves applying small amounts of suspected allergens to the skin, either through pricks (skin prick test) or patches (patch test). Reactions, such as redness or swelling, help determine the cause of allergies and guide treatment plans.

Pediatric dermatology

Pediatric dermatology

Pediatric dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Common issues include eczema, diaper rash, birthmarks, acne, and infections. Pediatric dermatologists provide age-appropriate care, considering children's unique skin needs and sensitivities, ensuring effective and gentle treatment for various dermatological concerns.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin color, are destroyed. The exact cause is unknown but may involve autoimmune factors. Treatment includes topical creams, light therapy, and, in some cases, surgery.
