Skin disease includes a variety of conditions that can have minor or severe impacts on the skin.

Some of the more common skin diseases include acne, eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis and lupus.

Different skin conditions will have different symptoms. Broadly speaking, symptoms can include skin becoming itchy, red, dry, scaly, cracked, swollen, weeping or inflamed.

Beyond the physical, sufferers may be left with emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, low self esteem and isolation.

The most common treatments for skin conditions are commonly creams and ointments that help reduce inflammation and itchiness. Other treatments may include ultraviolet light therapy, probiotics, wet dressings and more.
