The sun, wind, and even temperature can wreak havoc on the skin, so it’s important to know how to take care of it. To help you learn more about the largest organ in the human body, here we present what skin diseases are and how to prevent them.

Acne

Acne is not just a problem for teenagers, as this skin disease characterized by inflammation of the sebaceous glands and the appearance of pimples and bumps can continue into adulthood. Acne can be due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, certain makeup, medications, or hereditary factors.

Dandruff

It may seem like a hair issue, but dandruff is the formation of flakes or scabs of dead skin. Skin cells are constantly renewed; when they renew, the old ones are pushed to the surface, staying on the scalp. In a healthy scalp, this skin renewal process is imperceptible. With dandruff, the skin accelerates renewal, so a larger number of dead cells appear and are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. This dead skin that flakes off can be attributed to factors such as stress, excessive sweating, a highly acidic diet, hormonal imbalance, certain shampoos, or the use of hair dyes and styling products.

Psoriasis

Skin cells generally grow deep in the skin and rise to the surface approximately once a month. When one has psoriasis, this process happens too quickly, and dead cells accumulate on the skin's surface. Thus, psoriasis is the accumulation of dead skin tissue that produces red spots and a type of gray scales. It needs to be treated immediately as, although it is not too dangerous, it is very noticeable and can affect other parts of the body.
