Symptoms of skin

Skin problems

1.Acne .The main symptoms include:

>reddened, inflamed bumps called papules
>whiteheads and blackheads – the non-inflammed spots, also known as comedones
>pus filled spots or pustules
>deep tender nodules under the skin.

2.Eczema. The main symptoms include:

>flaking and itching
>redness and swelling
>broken and blistered skin
>irritation and inflammation
>thickening and drying of the skin
>crusty, flaky skin on the scalp, eyebrows and folds on the side of the nose

3.Psoriasis. What are the main symptoms?

>Patches of skin, called plaques, that appear red and inflamed.
>Thick silvery scales.
>Dryness and occasionally irritation.
>Psoriasis most often affects the scalp and hairline, the knees and elbows, and the small of
the back. It can range in severity from the occasional mild patch to plaques covering a wide area of the body.

4.Rosacea .What are the main symptoms?

>A prolonged flushing that eventually develops into permanent redness of the skin on the face. It most often occurs on the nose, forehead, cheeks, eyelids or chin. More rarely it can affect the trunk, arms or legs.

>The redness may be accompanied by spots or pustules that resemble acne – which is why
rosacea is often mistakenly called adult acne. You do not develop whiteheads or blackheads.
>Spider veins (telangiectasia) may develop on the face. These are tiny visible red veins
near the skin's surface.

>If the condition is severe or left untreated, rosacea can cause tissue overgrowth on the
nose, a condition known as rhinophyma. This makes the nose red and bulbous, and because the sebaceous glands overreact, the nose is especially greasy. Rhinophyma occurs more frequently in men than in women.

> 25% of people with rosacea develop eye complications which can be mild with redness of the
eye, or severe with scarring and impaired vision

5.Shaving problems

The main symptoms of shaving problems are red, raised bumps and ingrown hairs, irritation, or rashes.
