Most Common Skin Disorders And Conditions
Warts

Warts are skin growths caused by some strains of the human papillomavirus. While they can disappear on their own, this often takes months or even years. Additionally, warts are relatively contagious, so prompt treatment is crucial to avoid spreading the virus causing them to others. Thankfully, many warts are not painful, though they are unsightly. Individuals can get over-the-counter treatments for many warts, but they may also wish to visit a doctor for prescription treatment and options they are unable to perform themselves. In the meantime, individuals with warts should keep them dry and avoid picking at them to avoid infections or making them spread.
Psoriasis

Psoriasis is caused by the cells multiplying much faster than they should. Individuals dealing with cases of psoriasis find themselves patches of red skin covered in white scales, typically on their knees, elbows, hands, or scalp. While this condition tends to come and go, and thus patients do get some reprieve, it can be uncomfortable, damaging to self-esteem, and quite difficult to treat. When psoriasis does go away, it often reappears after a stressful or traumatic life event. There are many forms of treatment, both natural and not. Psoriasis patients should consult a doctor to evaluate the best course of action.
