OMG - I Have A Red Sore On My Cheek! Am I Going To Die?

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when skin cells multiply up to ten times their normal rate. Access skin cells pile up on each other and cause a patch of red skin that is often dry, itchy and may be covered in scales. In most cases, psoriasis covers a large area of skin but small sores on the skin may develop as well. Psoriasis may be triggered by factors that stress the immune system such as stress, infections, and the common cold.

Wart

Warts are skin growths that are caused by a certain form of virus called human papillomavirus. They are not cancerous and can occur anywhere on the body. Most warts are generally the same color as your skin but can easily appear red and inflamed in some cases. Warts can be surgically removed or treated at home by boosting your immune system with proper diet and exercise. Holistic remedies include applying garlic, pineapple or tea tree oil directly to the wart with a cotton ball.
