Common skin conditions in children
Children's skin is sensitive and prone to various conditions, which can be a source of concern for parents. Understanding these common skin conditions is crucial for ensuring proper care and treatment.
There are four main overarching types of skin conditions in children:
bacterial infections
viral infections
fungal infections
parasitic infections
Each type has distinct characteristics and treatment approaches
Common baby rashes & skin conditions
Babies are prone to rashes, but the good news is that most of these rashes are harmless and will go away on their own.
To ease any anxiety, it is important to recognise some of the common skin conditions in toddlers like diaper rash, pimples, cradle cap and atopic eczema. We'll discuss these common skin conditions, what they are, their causes, and how to manage and treat such conditions.
Common skin conditions during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the woman’s body goes through many physical changes, some of which affect her skin. Many expectant moms experience skin conditions, or a worsening of existing skin conditions during their pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the body produces a significant amount of hormones and blood flow through the blood vessels is higher. This gives pregnant women their characteristic “rosy glow” but also other skin conditions that are not as complimentary to her appearance. These include blotches on skin, higher amount of acne, spider angiomas, dark spots on breasts, nipples and inner thighs, stretch marks, linea negra, spider and varicose veins among others.
Genital Dermatosis
Genital dermatosis is a term that is used to describe skin conditions caused by various medical issues that affect the genitals.
Usually, these skin conditions bring about a genital rash and can occur on any part of the male or female genital area. Learn more about STIs, yeast infections, scabies and more.
