Pictures of Skin Disorders

From LoveToKnow Skincare

When we have an unusual rash or skin discoloration, we frequently seek out pictures of skin disorders and diseases. It is often helpful to compare our symptoms with those of others. However, these pictures are no substitute for a doctor's diagnosis. Some skin conditions require biopsies or other tests for accurate labelling. Many also require prescription medications. So, use our pictures for comparison and informational purposes, but also seek a doctor's care when appropriate. For more information about the pictured skin disorders, be sure to read the corresponding articles.

Mia, the appearance of eczema and psoriasis may mirror shingles occasionally. Most likely you'll have some scaliness to contend with. If you've been diagnosed then you should follow through with the prescribed treatment so long as it suits you.

It's helpful to keep your skin liberally moisturized. Follow this easy method: After showering, towel off but leave the skin sufficiently damp. Apply a fragrance-free body oil (Neutrogena makes one) all over damp skin and massage in. After about 10 minutes (enough time for the oil to sink in a bit), apply a nourishing, fragrance-free body lotion all over the skin. This is a "triple moisture" treatment - you're sealing in water (the most important ingredient) with a deeply hydrating oil and following up with lotion.

Good luck.

I went to a dermatologist a few months ago and was diagnosed with Sebo-psoriasis. I experience all the symptoms of eczema like you discussed on your site but if I compare the pictures to my problem if look like Shingles (which I experience no symptomes of). Can you please help me? I need oral medicine because every ointment I used before burns me and worsen the skin.

Michelle, I'm sorry to hear about your grandson. Eczema is a common condition in both children and adults, and it can result in some serious discomfort. It is quite possible he does have eczema, especially since individuals who have it may be more susceptible to staph infections. I would urge you to see a dermatologist who specialized in child skin conditions, if you have not already. I wish you the best of luck.
