Temporary telogen effluvium is diffuse, reversible hair shedding caused by many hairs entering the resting phase simultaneously, often triggered by stress, illness, surgery, childbirth, rapid weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medications.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune hair loss condition influenced by genetics, stress, and other immune disorders, with treatment based on age and severity, and most patients have good hair regrowth despite possible recurrence.

Nummular dermatitis is a chronic, non-contagious coin-shaped eczema that causes itchy or non-itchy round plaques and is managed with moisturizers, medium- to high-potency topical corticosteroids, treatment of any underlying infection, and regular medical follow-up.

Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition caused by contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness, itching, swelling, or blisters, and is best managed by avoiding triggers and caring for the skin.

Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic childhood skin condition causing dry, itchy skin, managed by avoiding triggers, proper skin care, and ongoing medical follow-up.

Eczema (Dermatitis) is a non-contagious inflammatory skin condition causing itchy, irritated rashes that progress from acute (red, oozing blisters) to subacute (dry, scaly skin) and chronic (thickened, darkened, intensely itchy skin).

Pityriasis versicolor (tinea versicolor) is a common superficial fungal skin infection caused by overgrowth of Malassezia, resulting in discolored, slightly scaly patches that are treated with antifungals and helped by keeping the skin clean and dry.

Vitiligo is classified by lesion distribution into five types: focal (localized), segmental (one-sided), acrofacial (fingers, toes, and around the mouth), vulgaris (widespread), and universal (nearly entire body), with the latter three more commonly associated with endocrine diseases such as thyroid disease and diabetes.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which loss of pigment-producing cells causes well-defined white patches on the skin; while incurable, treatments can help restore skin color and proper skin care supports management.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease that causes red, scaly patches and can be effectively managed with treatment, skincare, and avoidance of triggers.

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, mainly caused by UV exposure, and can be prevented through sun protection and early detection.

Keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that extends beyond the original wound, often appearing raised, firm, and persistent after skin injury.

Skin tags are common benign skin growths, especially in adults over 50; maintaining a healthy weight, reducing skin friction, managing underlying conditions, and monitoring skin changes can help prevent them and identify when medical evaluation is needed.

Butterfly rash is a characteristic facial rash often seen in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs throughout the body.

Seborrheic Keratosis (SK) is a common, noncancerous skin growth in adults, appearing as a waxy, raised lesion that may be skin-colored to dark brown and can be removed by cryotherapy, curettage, or laser if needed.

Facial redness and rashes may be caused by various inflammatory skin conditions—including seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis, rosacea, acne, and steroid-induced skin damage—requiring accurate diagnosis for effective prevention and treatment.

Port-wine stains are congenital vascular birthmarks that persist and may darken and thicken over time; pulsed dye laser is the standard treatment, and facial lesions near the eyes may be associated with brain or eye vascular abnormalities requiring further evaluation.

Hemangioma is a common benign vascular tumor in infants that grows rapidly during the first year of life, then gradually regresses, though treatment may be needed if it affects vital areas or causes complications.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that causes red, scaly patches and recurring flare-ups, often triggered by genetics, stress, infections, dry weather, and certain medications.
