The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Its size (about 20 square feet in an average sized adult) and external location make it susceptible to a wide variety of diseases, disorders, discolorations, and growths, as well as to damage from the environment and the aging process. The severity and appearance of skin problems vary considerably. The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of the body. Though seldom life threatening, skin disorders can be uncomfortable and may cause chronic disabilities. In addition, because the skin is so visible, skin disorders can lead to psychological stress. Skin Conditions: atrophic=thin, wrinkled, blister=fluid-filled bump, crust/scab=formation of dried blood, pus, or other skin fluid over a break in the skin, cyst=deep lesion that is filled with pus, excoriation=hollowed-out or linear area covered by a crust, hives/wheals=pink swelling of the skin, lichenification=skin that has thickened, macule=smaller version of a patch; a flat discolored spot, nodule/papule=solid, raised bump, raised bumps=bumps that stick out above the skin surface, patch=flat, discolored spot, pustule (pimple)=inflamed lesions that look like pink bumps, scales=dead skin cells that look like flakes or dry skin, scar=fibrous tissue that has formed after a skin injury Acne vulgaris Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms.[1] Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, or zits. Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear—or at the very least decrease—after one reaches his or her early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer well into their thirties, forties and beyond. The face and upper neck are the most commonly affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well. The upper arms can also have acne, but lesions found there are often keratosis pilaris, not acne. Typical acne lesions are comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules. Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne. Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem[5] and, according to at least one study, depression or suicide. Acne usually appears during adolescence, when people already tend to be most socially insecure. Early and aggressive treatment is therefore advocated by some to lessen the overall impact to individuals. wiki Acne vulgaris |
