Skin Conditions

Diagnosis & Reference Guide
Acne

Acne is a skin condition that can appear in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. It usually develops during adolescence and may continue into adulthood due to hormones that increase oil production. The overproduction of this oil can trap bacteria in the glands and cause acne, most commonly on the face, chest, and back.

Actinic keratosis presents as small, rough, scaly patches that may be red, pink, or brown. These lesions are caused by UV damage and are considered precancerous, with potential to develop into skin cancer if untreated.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and develops in the basal cell layer of the skin. It typically grows slowly and may appear as an open sore, red patch, or shiny bump.

Becker’s nevus is a benign, well-defined pigmented skin lesion that primarily affects men. It typically appears on the upper body and may become thicker or hairier over time.

Bowen’s disease is an early form of squamous cell carcinoma caused by sun exposure. It appears as a slowly enlarging red patch with irregular borders and a scaly or crusted surface.

Eczema is a condition that causes inflamed, itchy, and irritated skin. It can appear as dry patches, redness, and cracking, often triggered by environmental or immune system factors.

Hyperpigmentation is a condition where patches of skin become darker than surrounding areas due to excess melanin production. It can be caused by sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal changes.

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that appears as brown or gray patches, typically on the face. It is often triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure.

Milia are small cysts formed by trapped keratin beneath the skin’s surface. They appear as tiny white or yellow bumps and are common in newborns and adults with sensitive skin.

Nail disorders are conditions that affect the color, shape, thickness, or texture of fingernails and toenails. They can result from infections, injuries, or underlying health conditions.
Pediatric skin conditions include a range of issues such as eczema, warts, acne, and rashes that affect infants, children, and adolescents.
Poikiloderma is a benign condition involving skin discoloration, thinning, and visible blood vessels, most commonly on the neck.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes rapid skin cell buildup, resulting in thick, scaly patches that may itch or crack.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps, typically on the face.
Seborrheic keratosis is a noncancerous skin growth that appears as a waxy, brown, black, or tan lesion with a slightly raised texture.

Skin tags are small, benign growths that hang off the skin and commonly appear in areas of friction such as the neck, armpits, and groin.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common form of skin cancer and is linked to UV exposure. It can grow and spread if untreated, often appearing as a scaly or crusted lesion.
Stretch marks are a type of scarring caused by rapid stretching of the skin. They appear as red or purple lines that fade over time and are common in areas where fat is stored.
Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on various parts of the body and are contagious through skin contact.
Wrinkles are lines and creases in the skin that develop as a natural part of aging and from sun exposure. They are most noticeable on the face, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
