What triggers Acne?
An extremely common diagnosis, nearly 85% of all adolescents experience acne at some point. A person can be more at risk for developing acne if they are genetically predisposed. Acne will first appear when pores clog. The clog begins with dead skin cells. Typically, dead skin cells are shed daily. Normal skin also naturally creates sebum, which is a critical oil that helps our skin from drying out.

What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a very common and chronic skin disease that causes redness or a “flush” of the face. About 14 million Americans live with Rosacea and are usually between the ages of 30-50 years old, have fair skin, and are likely to have had acne problems in their family, or when they were younger.

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells in days rather than weeks. As these cells pile up on the surface of your skin, they cause raised, red or silvery, scaly patches to appear. Psoriasis is most prevalent on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, palms, and soles of feet.

What is Actinic Keratosis?
Actinic Keratosis (AK), also known as Solar Keratosis, is known as sun damage. AK’s form when the skin is badly damaged from UV rays from the sun, or indoor sun tanning. Over time, UV rays can cause damage to our skin and in some cases, when the damage accumulates, our bodies are less able to repair itself. AK’s are often dry and scaly, pink, red or sometimes a white or brown color. AK’s occur mainly on the back of your hands, scalp, and face. AK’s can also be painful once the area is irritated or rubbed.

Eczema is the name for a group of conditions that cause the skin to become red, itchy, and inflamed. Atopic Dermatitis is the most common form of Eczema and a condition shared amongst 18 million Americans.

What is Wound Care?

Fungal Infections
-
What are Fungal Infections?
Fungal diseases, also known as Mycoses, are caused by fungi that are common in the environment. A fungus is a primitive organism that lives in air, soil, plants, water, and the human body. Because fungi live in almost everything, it is very easy for anyone to contract a fungal infection in varying extremes. A mild skin fungal infection can look like a rash or a common condition called “athlete’s foot”, while some can affect the lungs and bloodstream causing diseases such as the flu and tuberculosis.
