Red, itchy skin is a symptom of more than one health condition. These symptoms can indicate a host of skin conditions, for example, rosacea, dyshidrotic eczema, contact dermatitis, ringworm, impetigo, pityriasis rosea or rubra, actinic keratosis, tinea versicolor, cellulitis, and seborrhea.
All skin conditions have different cause or causes. A few skin conditions, like ringworm and impetigo, are the result of a microorganism, like a fungus or certain bacteria.
Dr. Qaisar Ahmed, MD, DHMS a certified dermatologist in allopathic and Homeopathic fields, in Al-Haytham Clinic, Risalpur city KPK -Pakistan, says all of these skin conditions are treatable and generally not life-threatening. He adds that while a majority of skin conditions — at least those not related to an infection — are never completely cured with allopathic medication that’s why patient should definitely try Homeopathy, all they can be managed and treated.
Here are few skin conditions everybody need to know about
Ringworm
Ringworm, also known as “tinea” or “dermatophytosis,” has nothing to do with a worm. The “ring” part of its name comes from its ring-shaped rash that’s red and itchy. It’s caused by a contagious fungal infection that lives on skin, surfaces, or items like towels, clothes, and bedding.
Symptoms, which include itchy, red, and cracked skin that’s sometimes accompanied by hair loss, typically appear between 4 and 14 days after coming into contact with the fungus.
To diagnose ringworm, doctors may take a skin sample to view under a microscope, though they may also be able to diagnose just by looking at it. Once diagnosed, ringworm is treated with topical antifungal creams or ointments that are available over the counter or through a prescription. More severe cases may be treated with Homeopathic antifungal therapy.
Rosacea
Can’t stop blushing? It could be rosacea, a chronic, long-lasting skin condition that affects most often adults between the ages of 30 and 60. The skin condition usually hits men harder, though women are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop rosacea than men. And it usually affects pale-skinned people.
Rosacea occurs when facial blood vessels become stimulated and dilate causing the skin to redden, blush, and flush easily. Other symptoms of rosacea include acne-like breakouts; red, thick, bumpy skin appearing on the face; and eye irritation and vision problems.
While there seems to be a genetic component to rosacea, there are also some environmental factors that can trigger flare-ups for example sweat, damp weather, spicy foods, cigarette smoking, alcohol etc.
To treat it: with allopathy, you’ll likely need a combination of good skin-care practices and prescription drugs, such as topical drugs designed to reduce the redness, oral antibiotics to treat bumps and pimples, or an oral acne drug. Laser treatments are another option and may sometimes lessen the redness of rosacea. It’s not a dangerous skin condition “but cosmetically it can be problematic.”
