An easily flushed or red face may be an indication of rosacea. It is a chronic skin disease that causes red, inflamed skin on the face or forehead. Severe cases can lead to rhinophyma, a condition where the tissue of the nose permanently thickens.
Light patches or the loss of pigmentation of the skin on all parts of the body are called vitiligo. While the exact cause is unknown, the condition is not life threatening or contagious.
While many people are born with typically harmless birthmarks, some may increase in size or darken over time. Usually harmless, some moles may need to be removed due to rapid growth, growth on an organ, or in relation to another medical issue.
Cold sores are clusters of blisters that appear on the lip and around the mouth. They are extremely contagious and very painful.
Left untreated, a fungal nail infection can cause nails to change color, become very thick, or even break away from the skin. Common causes include walking barefoot in public places such as a pool or shower, where moisture is high.
Scabies are caused by tiny mites that bury under your skin, particularly in areas that are warmer, and have creases or folds. They are extremely contagious, but very easy to treat.
