Types of skin diseases
Skin is a tissue that protects our internal organs from external influences. Defending our body, the skin is exposed to damage and diseases that can be quite serious. The occurrence of skin diseases can occur for various reasons. There are skin diseases that are characteristic of a certain age. For example, children's dermatitis. Dermatology deals with dermatology - it is a medical field that not only studies the structure of the skin, but also causes its diseases and treats skin problems. We will not go into details, just consider the most common skin diseases.
Eczema
This disease is of a neuro-allergic nature and is accompanied by inflammation of the skin of the hands. In other words, as a result of external and internal influence on the skin of the hands, itching and rashes appear on the skin, which do not pass for a long time. Most often, eczema appears due to vegetative-vascular problems or heredity. Also, metabolic, etiological, infectious-allergic and pathogenic causes of eczema are also recognized. There is a disease in different parts of the skin and at any age.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a disease of the skin, a chronic course that affects not only the skin but also joints and elbows. This type of disease is inflammatory and occurs most often in the genetic chain, and it is believed that this is due to enzymatic, immunological or other biochemical malfunctions in the human body. There are also versions of the spread of psoriasis by viruses or the occurrence due to a malfunction of the nervous or exchange systems. But these theories have no scientific confirmation. People of any age are prone to psoriasis.
Photodermatitis
This is an allergic disease that occurs as a response to the sun's rays. But since for the appearance of allergies the rays must contain protein, which, naturally, is not present in the rays, the scientists came to the conclusion that the rays simply cause the accumulation of allergens in the human body. Also, the causes of photodermatitis can serve as anti-inflammatory drugs or malfunctions in the endocrine system and in pigment metabolism.
Lishay
This is a very common type of skin diseases and includes several diseases. Most of all deprived children suffer, because they love to play with a street cat or dog that does not know God in what garbage walked. There is:
- Red lichen, which carries a chronic nature and arises from heredity, weakened immunity or GI disease.

- Shingles - occurs under the influence of the herpes virus and affects the nerves, which leads to rashes.
- Pink. This type of deprivation is affected by people with weakened immunity.
- Frangible. This lichen is a fungal disease and is transmitted from the patient or objects to which he touched.
All lichens have a different appearance and course of the disease, but all have peeling, staining, burning, itching or papules.
Vitiligo
You've probably met people whose skin has unusual color: clear white spots on the general background of the skin. This is vitiligo - an unusual kind of skin problems, which indicates serious failures or diseases in the body as a whole. This disease is accompanied by the appearance of non-pigmented, i.e. White spots on the skin due to complete or partial loss of melanin. The cause of vitiligo are only diseases of the body.
