If you have a skin condition, you might be unsure of what type you may have. Knowing about the types of skin problems is important, because different skin problems require different styles of treatment. Here are some of the most common skin problems.
Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by pustules, or puss-filled spots, that erupt on the skin's surface.
Rosacea
Rosacea can be confused with acne but can be identified by the rosy-colored look that appears across the nose and cheeks.
Eczema
Eczema is often an allergy-induced skin problem that can be identified by intense itching, extreme dryness and a rash that appears on the inside of the elbows and the backside of the knees.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis can be identified by scaling and crusting of the skin in silvery patches. Psoriasis can happen on the arms, legs, scalp, torso and face.
Dermatitis
Dermatitis is characterized by an itchy rash that can appear on the face, hands, neck and arms. Dermatitis is often confused with eczema.
