Common Skin Disorders Treated at BJoy Wellness
- Acne: Acne is a common skin condition affecting people of all ages. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or cysts, particularly on the face, back, and shoulders. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation and outbreaks.
- Eczema: Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is characterized by itchy, inflamed skin. It often presents as red, scaly patches that may be triggered by allergens, irritants, or stress. Eczema can significantly affect daily life due to intense itching and discomfort.
- Psoriasis: This chronic condition leads to the development of thick, scaly patches on the skin, often found on the scalp, elbows, or knees. Psoriasis is caused by an accelerated skin cell turnover, resulting in patches that can be itchy and painful.
- Rosacea: Rosacea causes facial redness and visible blood vessels, often accompanied by bumps and pimples. This condition typically affects the cheeks, nose, and forehead, leading to a flushed appearance and discomfort.
- Dermatitis: Dermatitis encompasses various forms of skin inflammation. Contact dermatitis, for example, occurs when the skin reacts to allergens or irritants, resulting in rashes, itching, and swelling. This can be triggered by substances such as certain soaps, metals, or plants.
