Common Skin Problems
Several skin problems show that something is out of poise internally and externally. Nothing occurs in isolation in the body, and when something appears on the surface, it is the result of something taking place on the inside.
ACNE is common disorder of the oil glands when overactive sebaceous (oil) glands secrete too much oil (sebum) in the skin. This is characterized by the recurring formation of blackheads, white heads, and pimples. Acne occurs primarily on the face and sometimes on the back, shoulders, cheat, and arms. The incidence of acne is greatest during puberty, adolescence, and when hormones influencing the secretion of oil glands are at their peak level of activity such as during stress, emotional problems, menstruation, menopause, and exercising.
DERMATITIS is the skin's reaction to chemicals or environmental elements. It causes the skin to become irritated and inflamed, itchy and red, dry and flaky. When certain substances contact the skin and causes an allergic reaction, it is called "contact dermatitis".
ECZEMA appears as dry patches of skin with cracking, crusting, redness and swelling, often with weeping sores or watery blisters. The skin becomes hot, inflamed and itchy. Stress, cleaning compounds, colognes, cosmetics, detergents, food allergies, household chemicals, soaps and synthetic perfumes can cause or aggravate eczema.
PSORIASIS shows up as bright red, inflamed skin with raised, dry, silvery scales. Skins cells of psoriasis suffer grow about five times faster than the skin can shed old cells. Dead skin accumulates in crusty patches on the elbows, knees, lower back, and buttocks, around the nails, scalp or chest. In severe cases, psoriasis can cover the entire body. Heredity plays a major role in the development of psoriasis, while emotional factors and stress often determine the frequency and severity of outbreaks. Bacterial infections, drugs, illness, sunburn, surgery, and viruses can also trigger or aggravate outbreaks of psoriasis. See a qualified dermatologist if you are experiencing PSORIASIS problems.
