ACNE
Acne is a struggle for nearly everyone at some point in their lives. It is the formation of black heads, white heads, pustules, nodules or cysts as a result of obstruction and inflammation of the pilosebaceous units (hair follicles and oil glands) due to the impact of androgenic hormones, genetics and environmental factors. While it may seem trivial, acne can be hugely disturbing and can affect your mental health, your quality of life, your confidence and can sometimes also cause permanent scarring on the face. It is necessary to take early and appropriate medical treatment to prevent post acne pigmentation and scars. The treatment usually involves creams and/ or oral medications to reduce oil production, inflammation, bacteria and regularise skin keratinisation.

PIGMENTATION
Pigmentation is a common problem that usually affects brown skinned individuals, and occurs due to an increased production of the pigment melanin. Sunlight, small injuries, hormones, stress can all lead to excess melanin production and thus, pigmentation. There are different clinical types of pigmentation such as melasma, freckles, post inflammatory pigmentation, lichen planus pigmentosus, macular amyloidosis etc.
...
Cause of Pigmentation
The most common cause of pigmentation is sun exposure. The ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight stimulate the production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its colour. It also helps protect the deeper layers of skin from damage. People with darker skin are more prone to pigmentation because they have more melanin in their skin. However, pigmentation can also affect people with fairer skin. Other causes of pigmentation include:
• Hormonal changes during pregnancy, puberty or menopause
• Certain medications, such as the contraceptive pill or antipsychotic drugs
• Skin injuries, such as burns, cuts or grazes
• Inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema or acne

PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disorder affecting skin keratinisation, in which you develop reddish, scaly rashes on the body. It may affect the scalp, the palms and soles, or may involve other body areas as well. Rarely, it can impact the joints and lead to deformity. Psoriasis is a chronic disease, so it tends to recur at time of stress, or during certain times of the year like in the winter. However, with proper lifestyle modifications and medicines it can be treated and kept under control.
...
Cause Of Psoriasis
The exact cause of psoriasis is not yet known. However, it is believed to have a strong genetic component. If you have a family member with psoriasis, you are more likely to develop the condition yourself. In addition, certain environmental factors like infection, injury or trauma to the skin, and certain medications can trigger an episode of psoriasis.
Symptoms Of Psoriasis
The most common symptom of psoriasis is the development of reddish, scaly rashes on the skin. These may be itchy or painful, and can occur anywhere on the body.

VITILIGO
Vitiligo or Leucoderma is an auto-immune condition in which the skin loses its pigment (melanin). Genetics, stress, injury, exposure to certain chemicals may be the triggering factors. This results in white patches on different areas of the body, including the skin, hair and mucous membranes. Treatment options include anti inflammatory and immunomodulatory creams and/or oral medications, phototherapy and surgery.
...
Causes Vitiligo or Leucoderma
The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown, but it is believed to be the result of an autoimmune reaction. In people with vitiligo, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment-producing cells of the skin. This leads to a loss of colour in the affected areas. Vitiligo can occur on any part of the body, but it is most noticeable on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, hands, and arms. While there is no cure for vitiligo, treatments are available to help restore pigment to the affected areas. These include topical creams, oral medications, and light therapy.

While eczema is more common in children, some people continue to have it right up till adulthood, or may even develop it for the first time during adulthood. It is more common in people with dry and sensitive skin. The treatment of eczema is multifactorial and needs evaluation of your skin and lifestyle factors in detail, to help identify triggering factors and provide appropriate treatments.
...
Cause of Eczema
The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors. A family history of eczema or other allergies increases your risk of developing the condition. In addition, people with eczema often have a defect in their skin barrier that allows moisture out and irritants and allergens in. This can lead to inflammation of your skin.
Types of Eczema
There are various types of eczema, each with its own set of symptoms and triggers:
Atopic dermatitis: This is the most common type of eczema, characterised by itchy, dry, scaly lesions on your skin. It usually starts in childhood and may persist into adulthood.
Contact dermatitis: This type of eczema is caused by contact with an irritant or allergen. It can be further divided into two types – allergic contact dermatitis (caused by an allergy) and irritant contact dermatitis (caused by an irritant).
Dyshidrotic eczema: This type of eczema is characterised by blisters on your hands and feet. It is more common in women and people who have a history of allergies.
Nummular eczema: This type of eczema is characterised by round, coin-shaped lesions on your skin. It is more common in older adults and people with dry skin.

FUNGAL INFECTIONS
Fungal infections like ring worm are extremely common in India due to the hot and humid weather conditions and are growing at an alarming rate. Besides, there has been a rampant usage of wrong medications, particularly combination creams containing steroids which can cause drug resistance, worsen the infection and can damage the skin even further. Always consult a qualified dermatologist for such infections even if it seems trivial. It is necessary to take optimum and scientific medical treatments for fungal infections to ensure complete recovery.
...
Cause of Fungal Infections
Fungal infections are caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes. These are microscopic organisms that live on the dead tissues of the skin, nails and hair. The warm and moist environment of the skin favours their growth. Fungi can also enter through small cuts or breaks in the skin.
There are different types of fungal infections which can affect different parts of the body like ringworm (affects the scalp, nails, beard or any other hairy part), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis- affects feet), jock itch (tinea cruris- groin area) and candidiasis or thrush (oral cavity).
