Acne Vulgaris

Acne vulgaris, commonly known simply as acne, is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and in more severe cases, nodules and cysts. It most commonly affects teenagers due to hormonal changes during puberty, but can occur at any age. Acne typically appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders, which are areas with the most oil (sebaceous) glands. While not a life-threatening condition, acne can cause significant emotional distress and, in severe cases, permanent scarring. With proper treatment and management, most cases of acne can be controlled effectively.

Burn Scars

Burn scars are permanent marks that develop after thermal injuries to the skin from heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. When burns damage the deep layers of the skin (dermis), the healing process results in scar formation. The appearance and characteristics of burn scars vary widely depending on the depth, size, location, and severity of the original burn, as well as factors like age, genetics, and post-injury care. Common types include hypertrophic scars (raised, red, and confined to the burn area), contracture scars (tight scars that restrict movement), and keloid scars (overgrown scars that extend beyond the original burn). Beyond their physical appearance, burn scars can cause significant functional limitations, pain, itching, and psychological distress. Modern treatment approaches combine non-surgical therapies like pressure garments and silicone products with surgical interventions when necessary. With advances in burn care and plastic surgery techniques, significant improvements in both the function and appearance of burn scars are possible, though complete restoration to pre-injury condition remains challenging.

Dermatitis (Eczema)

Dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a group of conditions that cause inflammation of the skin. It typically results in dry, itchy skin with a red rash, though symptoms can vary widely depending on the specific type of dermatitis. The condition is not contagious but can be persistent and recurrent. There are several types of dermatitis, including atopic dermatitis (the most common form, often beginning in childhood), contact dermatitis (caused by direct contact with an irritant or allergen), seborrheic dermatitis (affecting oily areas of the body), and others. While there is no cure for most types of dermatitis, treatments can help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling, inflammation, itching, and redness. It can appear anywhere on the body and may come and go in cycles. Though there is no cure, effective treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of skin losing their pigment, resulting in white patches on different areas of the body. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin color, are destroyed. Vitiligo can affect any part of the body, including the skin, hair, and the inside of the mouth. The condition is not contagious or life-threatening, but it can be psychologically distressing. It affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people with darker skin. The extent and rate of color loss from vitiligo is unpredictable, and it may remain stable for years, or spread rapidly. Vitiligo is generally considered an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the melanocytes.
