Skin diseases, i.e. dermatoses, also apply to hair and nails, which makes it a very large and diverse group of diseases. Some of them are not very bothersome, others cause pain, disfigure - especially scalp diseases or those visible on the face. If left untreated, they can turn into more serious diseases. Check the types of skin, hair and nail diseases.

Skin diseaseshave various causes and course, but they have one thing in common - they are difficult to accept for patients. According to many of them, the most troublesome are scalp diseases and those whose symptoms are visible on the face and hands. Skin diseases can appear as spots, papules, blisters, cysts, nodules, blisters, erythema or pustules. These symptoms may be accompanied by itching, burning of the skin and soreness.

The most common skin diseases include an allergic reaction, mycosis, acne and atopic dermatitis. On the other hand, diseases of the scalp most often relate to dandruff and excessive hair loss, which leads to baldness.

On the other hand, the essence of nail diseases is usually inflammation. Skin diseases can have various causes. The most common skin diseases are parasitic, viral, bacterial or fungal - these are infectious skin diseases. There are also allergic skin diseases and autoimmune skin diseases - these cannot be infected.

  • Skin diseases and mental problems

The types of skin, hair and nail diseases are based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and He alth Problems (revision 10).

Important

The international classification of skin diseases does not include selected parasitic and infectious diseases of the skin (such as, inter alia, erysipelas, mycosis, lice, herpes, viral skin and sexual warts), as well as congenital defects, systemic diseases of connective tissue and skin cancer. In the latter case, the following are distinguished:

  • basal cell carcinoma of the skin
  • squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • skin melanoma
  • skin adenocarcinoma (adenocarcinoma) with elements of skin appendages
  • recurrent nodular fibroma
  • Kaposi's sarcoma
  • Bowen's disease
  • extramammary Paget's disease (Paget's skin cancer)
