What are the symptoms of common skin conditions?

Symptoms of common skin conditions may include:

Dry or scaly skin
Open sores
Raised bumps
Skin discoloration
Changes in size or shape of moles

Many skin conditions can make you feel itchy and uncomfortable. Some conditions, if left untreated, can be painful or worsen into more complicated conditions, such as an infection.

What treatment options are available for skin conditions?

If you have conditions that result from a bacterial infection, you may need a course of antibiotics to clear the infection. Some allergy-based skin issues may require treatment with antihistamines to reduce inflammation and itching.

In many cases, your doctor may recommend a skin care routine to reduce your risk for future issues. This may include using a high-quality moisturizer and sunscreen each day and avoiding products with harsh chemicals.

You should also drink plenty of water each day to hydrate your skin from the inside out. What you eat may also affect your skin, especially if you’re allergic to certain foods.
