A common skin condition typically associated with teenagers, acne isn’t limited to a specific age group. It usually occurs on the face, shoulders, chest, and neck and can occur in adolescence or adulthood. Acne is often an inherited condition, although stress, poor sleep habits, and hormonal changes stimulate the skin’s oil production and lead to breakouts.
Often called atopic dermatitis, eczema is characterized by itchy, red skin. Eczema is a common childhood ailment but can occur at any age.
Moles are pigmented lesions on your skin. Some people are born with moles. In other cases, moles can develop in childhood or early adulthood. Less common are moles that appear later in life. A key when evaluating moles is to notice their size, shape, and color. Small, round, brown moles typically are benign and don’t require treatment except for cosmetic reasons. Moles with irregular shapes should be monitored to see if they change size or color.

Redness, especially on the face, is the primary feature of rosacea. It may occasionally be accompanied by acne-like pimples or irritated eyes. Rosacea is fairly common, especially among Americans with northern European ancestry. Lifestyle and environmental factors, in addition to genetics, can also cause rosacea flare-ups. These include sun exposure, spicy foods, and drinking alcohol.
A rash describes any visible change to the skin’s appearance, such as what might occur after a bug bite, contacting poison oak, or hives. Acute rashes persist for a certain amount of time, such as weeks or even months, unless treated. Chronic rashes appear, fade, and reemerge intermittently and are usually caused by specific triggers. Rashes may be annoying, uncomfortable occurrences or may signal a more serious underlying medical condition.
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by scaly plaques, especially on the knees, elbows, and scalp. Psoriasis may affect the whole body at once or in just a few areas. Joint pain in the hands, feet, knees, or hips may accompany rashes in some patients. This is known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of patients developing more worrisome medical conditions, such as metabolic syndrome. They should follow up with their primary care physician for their normal preventive screening measures.
One in five Americans will develop some type of skin cancer over the course of their lifetimes. With early detection and treatment, however, most skin cancers are completely curable.
