Blisters are commonly seen as a response to a specific injury such as a burn or skin irritation, usually affecting the topmost layers of the skin. Some blistering disorders can also affect the immune system of the body.

This condition can be treated if its detected early and the first sign of melanoma is a change in an existing mole or the development of an unusual looking growth on the skin.

Moles are a common type of skin growth or pigmented lesion, often appearing as small, dark spots on the skin caused by a clear of pigmented cells. Most people have between 10 to 40 moles and most fade over time. This generally appears during childhood and adolescence. Moles appear in varied forms ranging from different colours – brown, tan, black, red, blue or pink, different textures to different shapes and sizes some having hair on them. Other types of lesions include age spots, birthmarks and freckles.

An abnormal growth of skin cells, most often due to the skin’s exposure to the sun, causes skin cancer. This can also appear in other ares of the body that aren’t generally exposed to sunlight. Limiting exposure to the sun’s rays is the best prevention method and if affected, an early detection provides the best chance for eliminating this form of cancer with treatment.

Despite maintaining proper hair hygiene, we generally encounter one problem or the other with our hair due to the mounting changes in food habits, climate, chemicals added to our hair and lifestyle choices. Some of the common problems associated with our hair and skin include dandruff, hair fall, oily scalp, split ends and frizzy hair. Some home remedies are available to treat some of these problems for a short period of time but recurring severe issues must be examined by a dermatologist.

Herpes is a skin condition that is a result of an infection from the herpes simplex virus or HSV, causing sores or blisters in or around the mouth or genitals.

One cannot contract the virus by touching an object or a surface. There is no cure for herpes. However, treatment is available and can help manage the symptoms or reduce the likelihood of them recurring.

Itchy skin or otherwise known as pruritus,  is an uncomfortable condition that causes an incessant need to scratch the the skin, is often caused by dry skin. Symptoms may include redness, bumps, blisters, dry or cracked skin and scaly patches on the skin. This condition can be attributed to other skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, burns, scars or insect bites or a symptom of underlying illness such as kidney disease, anaemia, diabetes, nerve disorders or allergic reactions.

Caused by a virus known as varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox, shingles is a viral infection that results in painful rash among other symptoms. While the condition isn’t life-threatening, it is a painful ordeal and can be managed with the help of vaccines if detected and treated during its early stages. Other symptoms may include pain, burning sensation, numbness, itching, fever, headache, fatigue and sensitivity to touch and light.

Warts are bumps on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus or HPV. These aren’t dangerous but can be contagious and painful over time if they’re left untreated. Warts can be treated using over-the-counter medication which usually isn’t very strong and surgery is considered if there is no response to any other treatment.
