Different Types of Skin Disease or skin disorders 1,858 views
Dermatosis (plural dermatoses), a noun, is defined as “any disease of the skin,” and, while thousands of skin disorders have been described, only a small number account for most visits to the doctor. Uncommon presentations of common diseases are common.
The skin diseases are common in the whole world. In the countries in the process of development, the infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy and the onchocercose are common, while in the developed countries, inflammatory disorders such as eczema and the acne are common. Disorders of skin can be inherited, for example the syndrome of Ehlers-Danlos, a part of normal development, for example vulgaris of acne, or can present as an element of a systemic disorder, for example the systemic erythematosus of lupus (SLE).
As is true of many of the diseases on the medical spectrum, skin diseases reference a wide array of conditions which affect the skin. Diseases affecting the skin can be caused by complications of other medical conditions, fungal infections, bacterial infections, allergic reactions, and even insect bites. The skin is affected by both internal and external conditions and factors. The skin is exposed to a range of environmental hazards making it vulnerable to all manner of threats. Genetic predispositions to certain conditions are also attributed to the emergence of certain skin diseases. Even the occurrence of one type of skin disease can lead to the appearance of another.
Skin diseases usually fall into a specific category or type. The most common types of skin diseases include inflammatory disorders, viral, bacterial, cancerous, and fungal. The skin diseases associated with a certain type will usually exhibit similar symptoms, be caused by similar sources, and is treated and/or cured in a similar manner. Of course each skin disease will exhibit variances in the symptoms and severity and may display some unique characteristics. Skin diseases can range from barely noticeable to disfiguring, even to life threatening. But the type of skin disease will help determine the probable cause and the best course of proven treatment to follow.
