Skin Conditions Q & A
What skin conditions might I get?
Some of the more common skin conditions the team sees at Honet Dermatology and Cosmetic include:
Rashes
Rashes are red areas of skin that often have bumps, spots, or other types of lesions. Hives are a common type of rash. Many rashes develop because of allergic reactions or irritation caused by the constant use of a specific substance. For instance, a latex allergy would cause a rash on your hands if you wore latex gloves.
Warts
Warts are hard lumps that often look rough or uneven. They're typically raised on your body but can be flattish on your feet. They're usually due to infection with the human papillomavirus.
Fungus
Fungal skin infections are very common. Conditions like athlete's foot, jock itch, and yeast infections are all due to fungus.
