Skin Diseases

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and serves as the first line of defence against infections, harmful substances, and environmental factors. Skin diseases are common conditions that can affect people of all ages, causing changes in skin appearance, texture, and function.

Common skin conditions include allergies, psoriasis, eczema, scabies, leucoderma (vitiligo), ringworm, urticaria (hives), warts, and alopecia areata. Symptoms may include itching, redness, rashes, dry or scaly patches, skin discolouration, blisters, and hair loss. These conditions may arise from infections, allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, or other underlying factors. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important for effective management and maintaining healthy skin.
