The skin covers the entire human body. That is why, with problems with it, the patient may experience severe discomfort. It may seem that the skin is quite simple in structure. However, this is a complex system. She takes part in all body functions, including respiration and thermoregulation. It protects a person from environmental influences. Skin disease in children makes the patient's life in many ways disgusting. It can even significantly change the usual way of life. In the article, we consider the most common diseases.
Description
The skin has several layers. There are fiber, hair roots, pores, as well as nerve endings. At such a moment, her illness is quite common. Of all the diseases on earth, about 15% are associated with skin problems. Most often, warts, acne, boils, tumors, hyperkeratosis, dermatoses and so on are found.
Itchy Dermatoses
A similar skin disease is divided into subspecies.
Allergic variants of the disease are acute urticaria. Because of it, a rash occurs, the elements of which can merge with each other. Also, a person has an itch.
In general, urticaria can be either acute or chronic. The first option may endanger the life of the patient. The general group of dermatoses is characterized by the appearance of vesicles, redness, peeling and itching.
Diffuse neurodermatitis, which often occurs in infants, is associated with the fact that complementary foods are introduced. If you do not cure such a disease, then it can go into a chronic form. Also, the disease is often transmitted due to a genetic predisposition. With age, neurodermatitis disappears as soon as sweat and sebaceous glands begin to develop. In children by the age of 6, such a disease disappears in almost 60% of cases, and by the time they are teenagers, almost all of them are eliminated.
Neurodermatitis also occurs in a limited form. It is called so because a person has problems only on a certain area of the skin.
Eczema is found in people who are in the middle age category. It is about 20-40 years. Most often, the disease occurs due to stressful situations. Symptoms are usually quite long. They can be stored from a month to six months.
Xeroderma is a disease that occurs mainly in older people. This is usually a disease of the skin of the legs. The disease is characterized by dry skin, cracks and itching itself. Often this disease is asymptomatic, but it must be treated.
There is also silver dermatitis. This disease is very common. It occurs in adults, as well as in children, usually up to 3 months. Exacerbation of this disease is associated with emotional stress. If we are talking about the occurrence of the disease in children, then, as a rule, by the age of two, any manifestations of contact dermatitis are allergic in nature. The disease can also be simple, that is, occur after contact with irritating material. As a rule, acids, alkalis, even a detergent, are similar. An allergic form of the disease is often an occupational disease.
Hyperkeratosis and Psoriasis
Hyperkeratosis is a skin disease that is characterized by a large number of surface cell formations. This can occur due to any external acne or internal. Most often, the feet suffer from such a disease. At least 40% of women and 20% of men have this ailment. This is due to the fact that the feet are under a lot of stress due to tight shoes, heels and so on.
Such a disease is the result of the development of psoriasis, ichthyosis, as well as other diseases. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that is not very common. About 2-3% of people suffer from this disease. As a rule, the first symptoms appear in 10-30 years. It should be noted that a similar skin disease is transmitted from parents to children. If at least one of the parents is sick with a similar disease, then the risk of a child is 25%, if both parents - then 65%.
Skin cancer
At the moment, skin cancer is a disease that occurs in 10% of all oncological cases. With age, there is an increasing risk of developing such a skin disease. Itching does not occur. Basically, a malignant lesion affects the face and neck. 80% of cases of such inflammation develop from a mole. It is necessary to pay attention to them. Moles need to be examined regularly. If the brown dot began to increase in size, acquired a tuberous surface or changed color, then you should immediately contact an oncologist. Skin cancer in the earliest stages can be cured in 95% of cases.
Acne
Acne is a facial skin disease that affects children and more adults. Baby acne, as a rule, occurs in boys in the first months of life. They pass independently and are located on the face.
Common acne occurs during puberty, that is, at 13-16 years. A particularly persistent course is observed in children who have reached 18 years of age. In girls, most often abundant rashes are observed before the menarche.
Boils and carbuncles
Pustular skin diseases are quite common. Boils are varieties of similar diseases that are manifested by an abscess in place of the follicle. A similar pathology is 1/4 of all diseases. Most often, the described staphylococcus disease is caused. Especially if a person does not follow the rules of hygiene, suffers from microtraumas, excessive sweating, hypothermia and overheating, then this disease will occur much more often. Purulent diseases are also provoked by diabetes mellitus, problems with the immune system, protein starvation, as well as overwork.
Warts
Each person has moles, as well as larger birthmarks. They are found in all people. Often they do not cause any concern. However, sometimes they can develop into malignant spots. Nevuses can disappear and appear throughout a person’s life.
Warts are called neoplasms that are of a viral nature. It should be noted that infectious skin diseases are among the most popular. Warts can be infected by contact with the patient. If we talk about the appearance factors, then the role of immunodeficiency, dysfunction, overwork, and also sweating.
Dermatophytosis
Dermatophytosis is another group of diseases associated with the epidermis. We are talking about fungal skin diseases.
The most popular is nail damage. It occurs in 18% of the population. It should be noted that 50% of them are elderly people. A person who has already crossed the line of 70 years is at risk of disease. Quite often they do not go to the doctor, so they do not receive proper treatment. This is pretty dangerous.
It should be noted that such a disease is transmitted, so everyone around the infected person can suffer.
Infection can also be transmitted in a bathhouse, swimming pools and so on. Similar fungal skin diseases, the treatment of which should be carried out rather urgently, can spread in closed professional groups.
Affection of fungi of the scalp, as well as the skin are less common. However, they are very contagious.
It must be understood that dermatophytosis very rarely affects healthy skin, since it practically does not occur as an independent disease. Most often, such a disease is a symptom of an immune problem and vascular.
Herpes Zoster
A similar disease of human skin is more commonly known as vesicular lichen. A similar disease has a characteristic appearance. A person has painful small vesicles that are located along the nerve paths. That is why this herpes is called herpes zoster.
The reason is chickenpox, which penetrates the nerve nodes. Most often, with rashes, the temperature rises. Rashes disappear after a couple of weeks or months. However, they can persist even for a year.
A similar disease can provoke complications. While there are rashes, the described type of herpes is contagious. Transfer occurs through contact. Doctors recommend taking “Acyclovir”, as many other medications do not help with the treatment of skin diseases of this type.
Lip fever
We are talking about herpes, which occurs much more often than the above form. It is believed that such a disease occurs in almost 90% of people on earth. Symptoms of skin diseases of this type can occur completely spontaneously. It all depends on the strength of the immune system. Herpes can occur not only on the lips, but also around them, as well as in the mouth.
It is necessary to treat it with the aforementioned “Acyclovir”. A similar drug is effective against herpes. It is better not to use folk remedies, since you can bring an infection.
Pseudofolliculitis
A very popular facial skin disease is pseudofolliculitis. The people call this disease ingrown hair. Most often occur in men on the face and in women in the armpits and pubis.
Often the reason for this is shaving or depilation. It should be noted that in dark-haired people, the stages of such a disease occur in severe form. When hair grows, microabscesses are formed that can develop to pustules. Because of this, scars will occur.
In order to avoid the occurrence of such a disease, it is necessary when shaving to completely prevent the occurrence of irritation. For example, take a hot shower or use special creams. Hair should be shaved only towards them. After the procedure is completed, it is necessary to rinse the skin with cold water and grease with a special cream. If a similar disease is already developing, then you need to abandon shaving. If inflammation develops or if it is difficult to treat, you should consult a doctor.

On the face most often occur: acne, rosacea, vitiligo, as well as papillomas, warts, melanomas and so on.
- When acne develops in a person, red acne may appear on the cheeks and neck.

Hand diseases
As a rule, a fungal infection occurs on the hands, as well as allergic forms of the disease. It can be lichen, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, and so on. As a rule, contact and allergic diseases arise due to irritating factors. We are talking about various medicines, chemicals and so on.
Eczema is often a professional disease of the skin of the hands that occurs due to engaging in a harmful activity.
Fungal infections affect the hands as well as the nails. You can get infected in public places.
If we talk about psoriatic rashes, then often they are either caused by fairly serious diseases of the immune system, or endocrine, and can also be hereditary. The main thing is to start treating on time in order to prevent complications. This is due to the fact that diseases of the skin of the hands are quite serious in nature.
Foot disease
Most often, fungal infections occur on the legs. This is especially due to the fact that a person wears tight, uncomfortable shoes. Because of this, dermatitis occurs. The skin of the legs can suffer from psoriasis, vitiligo, various allergic diseases, as well as urticaria. Often, skin ailments such as corns, growths and various warts can occur.
Diseases in children
In children, skin diseases most often arise due to a genetic predisposition. Most often, they develop psoriasis, urticaria, or an allergic disease.
Sometimes they are affected by infections, as well as fungal diseases. A child can become sick with dermatitis. He may have warts, papillomas, and so on.

A red rash may appear on the skin, the temperature may rise, and the child may also feel general malaise. The disease can be cured quite easily. The maximum period is 2 weeks.
Chickenpox is a very unpleasant disease. It is characterized by various rashes, itching, as well as poor health. Blisters appear that are filled with liquid contents. They dry out and crust over time. This disease is very dangerous due to possible complications.
Liver disease
It should be noted that the skin with liver diseases suffers quite a lot. Often jaundice, white spots, as well as brown skin color can occur.
If there is cirrhosis of the liver, then classic vascular asterisks already appear. Symptoms such as dry skin, cracks, raspberry color, and bruises that occur for no reason can also appear. Jaundice most often manifests itself not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes. Most often, yellow is more visible in natural light. Often jaundice is evidence of pathological changes in the liver.
If there are rashes without a clear localization, then this may indicate hepatitis C or any other form of it. A similar symptom is also characteristic of autoimmune diseases.
With severe itching, scratching may occur on the surface of the skin. They are a sign of cirrhosis.
White spots that do not have clear boundaries can indicate the development of hepatitis already a chronic form, and can also talk about cirrhosis.
Some diseases associated with this organ may appear brown in the groin or in the armpits.
It should be noted that any liver disease is accompanied by changes in the structure of the skin. That is why it is necessary to pay attention to the surface of the epidermis in order to avoid the development of serious complications and the diseases themselves.
