Acne. Caused when your skin's sebaceous glands secrete grease and plug the hair follicle, acne is incredibly common - almost everyone has at least one bout ofacneduring their life. Some common misconceptions about acne are that you can cure it by tanning (not true!), you can spread acne from one person to another (not true!), and that you can get acne from eating chocolate (also not true!).
Psoriasis. When skin cells multiply ten times faster than they should, red and/or white scales end up developing, because the skin simply can't shed the dead cells fast enough. This condition is known as psoriasis, and some myths about this condition is that it is contagious, that it is curable, and that it is only a skin condition. All three of these things are untrue - you can't catch it, you can't cure it, and it is actually an immune system disease.
Lupus. Also an immune system disease, lupus disease occurs when the body's immune system attacks health tissues. Regular lupus disease can affect the skin, mainly with red rashes on the cheeks and nose, and with hair loss and mouth sores. Discoid lupus disease only affects the skin, and forms large circular rashes that are red, and that can scar.With both types of lupus disease, rashes are worseafter exposure to the sun.
Eczema. A broad term, eczema refers to a whole group of conditions that cause inflammation and irritation of the skin. Atopic eczema is the most common type, with infants and children being the most likely to get it. Like lupus disease, acne and psoriasis, you can't catch or spread eczema. Eczema flare ups aren't brought on by emotional stress, and like the other skin diseases, you can't cure eczema - you can only treat it.
