By following the above instructions, it is possible to eliminate acne on the hands and prevent the likelihood of their secondary occurrence.
Pimples on the hands most often indicate some kind of disease. If you do not get rid of the root cause in a timely manner, the rash is unlikely to go away on its own or with local therapy. For these purposes, it is imperative to consult a doctor who will recommend effective treatment.
Why do acne appear in the shoulder area?
Before starting to use specialized products, you need to determine the etiology of acne in these areas.
The main causes of rashes and acne on the hands come down to the following factors:
- allergic manifestations;
- violation of metabolic processes;
- diseases of fungal or infectious origin;
- hereditary predisposition;
- stressful situations;
- hormonal changes in the body.
The appearance of acne with an allergic etiology occurs against the background of long-term use of sulfonamide drugs and antibiotics. If elements appear first on the hands, and then on the forearms and shoulders, it is worth thinking about the disruption of metabolic processes in the body.
If watery pimples appear on your hands, that is, papules with watery contents, this indicates the development of infectious diseases. These may be manifestations of rubella, measles or chickenpox. All acne that appears as a result of these diseases have a specific appearance, however, in appearance they are quite similar. Only a doctor can differentiate the elements.
Rubella
Changes in hormonal levels that occur in women during pregnancy, breastfeeding and adolescence can also be etiological factors in the appearance of acne. The fact is that high levels of steroid hormones in the body enhance the functioning of the sebaceous glands and the production of their contents.
Allergic manifestations
There are several types of allergic rashes. In the case of the development of atopic dermatitis, foci of inflammation occupy a certain limited area. They can move from one place on the skin to another.
Contact type dermatitis appears when exposed to synthetic clothing or skin contact with allergic cosmetic preparations for the body. Limited redness and swelling appear in a certain area of the skin above the elbows. Pimples resemble blisters containing clear fluid that itch.
The development of urticaria is accompanied by pink-red pimples that have a flat shape. Their appearance is accompanied by severe itching and peeling.
Metabolic disorders
Acne, the etiological factors of which are changes in metabolic processes, have a characteristic ascending appearance. They first appear on the hands, then move up the forearm to the shoulder area.
These rashes resemble small pink or red dots. Usually occur with the development of dysbiosis, vitamin deficiency or other pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Infectious diseases
Measles infection is accompanied by the appearance of pimples throughout the body, which allows for differential diagnosis. Acne is large and maculopapular in nature. The skin in the rash areas does not change. The rashes may merge with each other.
The manifestations of scarlet fever rashes resemble small dots on the hyperemic skin of the inner surfaces of the hands. The rash is symmetrical. Pimples turn into peeling. No residual effects are observed at the site of their development.
Rubella manifests itself as small pale pink spots that appear not only on the hands, but throughout the body. The size of the spot can reach 1 cm in diameter. After a few days, the rash completely disappears.
Stress and heredity
The appearance of acne in areas above the elbow may be a sign of developing problems with the nervous system. To determine this cause of acne, the doctor must carefully discuss all issues related to the patient’s life history and illness.
Hereditary predisposition is manifested by the development of subcutaneous acne. Only a dermatologist can determine this etiological factor.
Psyche, hormonal background
Allergies and metabolic disorders are not the only reasons that can cause a rash on the hands.
Another commonplace reason why acne may appear on the fingers, arms or legs of both an adult and a child is the lack of high-quality personal hygiene.
The skin on the hands, as well as throughout the body, can secrete oil and sweat, gradually becoming covered with a layer of dead cells.
If there is insufficient cleansing, the pores will become clogged, which over time becomes the cause of inflammatory processes. Particularly sensitive areas are the skin on the bend of the elbow and up to the shoulder.
It is necessary to use a scrub and additional care products, softening and moisturizing. The skin must be cleansed, and softening and moisturizing compositions should help remove the top stratum corneum of the skin and nourish the skin with the necessary substances.
Clogged and inflamed pores often get infected, and then acne on the hands becomes noticeably painful.
Negative factors can be fungal or other infections, then the inflamed areas, as a rule, itch very much, and the affected area only expands without treatment.
In special cases, acne provocateurs are mites. It is better not to treat such diseases on your own; a dermatologist or mycologist will help you deal with them.
Another cause of an infectious nature may be diseases that result in the body becoming covered with watery pimples. For a child, this could mean chickenpox, measles or rubella.
In this case, the appearance of inflamed spots throughout the body, which not only look terrible, but sometimes also hurt and itch very much, will be the first sure sign of the disease.
No matter how difficult it is for a child to endure these diseases, it is usually even more difficult for adults. Therefore, you should be attentive to such signs, and if watery pimples that itch appear, immediately consult a doctor.
Another specific factor for the appearance of rashes will be hormonal changes, which can manifest themselves during adolescence or in women during pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Pimples can be on the hands, face and other parts of the body. Their appearance is caused by increased activity of the sebaceous glands, resulting in clogged pores.
Thus, “bags” are formed in which the infection accumulates. It is not recommended to squeeze or scratch such purulent pimples (if they itch), as this may allow the infection to spread further throughout the body.
It is necessary to regularly cleanse the skin and periodically exfoliate it to remove dead cells.
Teenagers are advised to choose the right skin care products. As a rule, this should be caring cosmetics for oily or combination skin.
General recommendations for all of the above cases of rash will be:
- taking care of proper balanced nutrition;
- taking compulsory daily walks in the fresh air.
The factor why acne appears that has not yet been fully studied is psychosomatic - a person does not like himself or the company of people, thus trying to protect himself from communication or even cause aggression and negativity in others.
Each case is unique. To solve the problem, you may even need the help of a psychotherapist.
The causes of a rash on the body are multifaceted, but proper care is the basis for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory processes on the forearms, hands or fingers, and timely consultation with a doctor will help quickly remove external defects and resolve serious problems.
Substances foreign to the immune system are produced by mites, bacteria, and fungi that parasitize the surface of the skin and hair follicles. Microscopic scabies mites make their passages between the fingers and on the wrists. Small pimples appear, as in the photo below.
In the absence of treatment, scratching and poor hygiene, unpleasant symptoms of scabies appear on the forearms. stomach. The disease is accompanied by unbearable itching, worsening at night. Using sulfur ointment and maintaining personal hygiene helps get rid of ticks. Bed linen and towels must be washed at 90°C.
Numerous watery pimples on the hands occur with chickenpox and measles. Another dangerous infectious disease that affects the skin is streptococcal pyoderma. Streptoderma most often affects the face and hands, and the main elements of the rash look like bubbles filled with cloudy contents.
However, there are other, sometimes completely unexpected reasons why acne appears on the arms above the elbow. They may well appear due to hormonal changes, which are characteristic mainly of adolescents and women after childbirth. The fact is that at this time the sebaceous glands are functioning intensively, and this leads to blockage of the mouths and the formation of purulent pimples.
Under no circumstances should you even try to squeeze them out, as this will lead to the spread of infection. Do not even think about cauterizing the pustules - scars will remain on the skin of the shoulder forever. Only specialists can help.
Treatment of rashes due to eczema and psoriasis
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely cure psoriasis, since the disease is chronic and can progress very rapidly. Therefore, when an exacerbation begins, you should immediately consult a doctor who will prescribe adequate therapy. Treatment in such cases is usually aimed at eliminating the inflammatory process, reducing the intensity of the rash, and preventing further exacerbations of the disease.
In most cases, the basis of treatment is the use of special glucocorticoid ointments and agents to reduce itching, as well as to eliminate peeling of the damaged epidermis. In addition, doctors often prescribe special medications aimed at accelerating cellular regeneration and restoring normal skin.
Often, a significant part of the therapy is physiotherapy, in particular, procedures for irradiating damaged areas of the skin with ultraviolet rays. For some patients, treatment in specialized sanatoriums is recommended. In this case, each patient is recommended to have a certain diet and diet.
For treatment, ointments and other products based on natural birch tar, vitamin D, and antiseptics are usually used.
It is important not to ignore the disease, since the neglected condition often leads to quite serious complications, in particular atrophy of the nail plates or arthritis. Eczema can have different etiologies and appear on the human body in the area of the elbows due to complications of an allergic reaction, skin damage by fungi or bacteria, as well as in case of serious inflammatory process
In order for the treatment of a lesion to be effective, it is important to accurately determine the cause that caused its appearance.

In order for the treatment of the lesion to be effective, it is important to accurately establish the cause that caused its appearance. The skin at the site of eczema is swollen, red and has a bumpy surface with blisters or nodules, which may be accompanied by intense itching
To effectively cope with a problem, the first step is to eliminate the factor that provoked its occurrence, which can only be determined by a doctor. The drugs are prescribed to eliminate the inflammatory process and restore the skin, but in some cases antihistamines are required, in others - drugs against bacteria and infections, and in others - special agents may be prescribed to kill fungi.

It is important to remember that the rash can have different causes, and therefore you should not self-medicate. Pimples in the elbow crease in adults can be caused not only by harmless factors, but also by quite serious diseases, which only a specialist can determine
If systemic and local antihistamines, anti-inflammatory ointments and traditional medicine techniques are used to treat an allergic reaction, then such drugs are practically powerless against mycosis, psoriasis or eczema. It should be remembered that each disease requires individual treatment, the prescription of which can only be made by an experienced doctor, taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s body.
How and with what to treat?
There is absolutely no doubt that acne needs to be treated. But how to do that?
- In the case of allergic etiology, contact with the factor that caused the rash must be stopped. Antihistamines are prescribed - Suprastin, Diazolin, Loratadine, Tavegil. Baths or lotions with herbal decoctions are applied locally. These can be string, chamomile, clover, wild rosemary, oak bark.
- If rashes appear against the background of folliculitis, local treatment of the skin with antiseptic agents is prescribed. If the disease is chronic, then tetracycline antibiotics, macrolides, and cephalosporins are prescribed.
- Vitamin preparations are prescribed if acne is the result of hypo- or avitaminosis. Vitamins B and A, nicotinamide, ascorbic acid, and vitamin D are often used.
- Against the background of dysbiosis, drugs are used that restore the intestinal microflora - “Laktiale”, “Linex”.
Know! Self-medication leads to negative consequences. The use of medications must be under the supervision of a physician.
Methods for treating acne on the hands depend on the causes of their appearance.
Watery blisters on the skin of the hands: What is it?
Watery blisters on the hands are small formations protruding above the skin level, the diameter of which does not exceed half a centimeter. They differ from healthy skin in color and in most cases are red or pinkish in color. Inside, such rashes are filled with clear (serous) or bloody fluid.
When rubbed or pressed, the bubbles can burst, leaving a wound in their place. This most often occurs with blisters on the palms of the hands when a person wipes their hands, grasps a door handle, or performs other daily activities.
Typically, the appearance of watery blisters on the fingers or toes is preceded by redness of the skin, possibly peeling and increased sensitivity. Also, the rash is sometimes accompanied by swelling, burning and itching.
Before you begin treatment for the disease, you need to accurately determine the cause of the rash. As a rule, when the cause is eliminated, the rash goes away quite quickly: usually within a few days, sometimes longer. Let us list the main reasons that cause such a reaction.
Allergy
Watery blisters between the fingers, palms and hands can be a manifestation of an allergy to cosmetics, the sun or chemicals. In this case, itchy pimples appear exactly in the place that came into contact with the allergen. Most often these are fingers or palms, but sometimes also wrists (the reaction can occur, for example, to a watch strap).
The blisters may be painful, itchy, and crusty. This is quite dangerous: damage to the crust can lead to purulent infection. Without treatment, the rash can grow, coalesce, and affect more and more of the skin.
Infectious diseases
Watery blisters on the hands can be a symptom of an infectious disease. If the red rashes are very itchy and spread from the palms of the hands to the stomach and legs, there is a possibility that the patient has scabies. Such blisters can appear after a scabies mite bite or as a result of contact with a sick person in a public place. Scabies is a very painful and contagious disease, so it needs to be treated urgently.
Often, a rash on the hands can be a consequence of other infectious diseases: chickenpox, rubella, measles, enterovirus infection, etc. These diseases are thought to affect children more often, but in fact, teenagers and adults can also become infected. Depending on the type of disease, the rash may vary in shape and size. These can be small subcutaneous pimples or larger ones with pus.
If, in addition to rashes, a person feels unwell, has a fever and a headache, the likelihood of an infectious disease increases. Call a doctor immediately!
Internal diseases
Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers and other diseases) also affect the condition of the skin. Exacerbation of such diseases can lead to skin rashes in the form of small, fluid-filled blisters. This indicates the accumulation of toxins in the body or metabolic disorders.
Treatment of blisters on the hands in these cases should be comprehensive. First of all, you need to cleanse the body of toxins and restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Local treatment for this reason will not work.
Skin diseases
Rashes with clear liquid may also indicate fungal diseases. Along with the rash, the skin may become dry, red, and flaky. Another symptom of fungus is severe itching. At the slightest suspicion of a fungus, you should immediately contact a dermatologist, as the disease can infect your loved ones.
External reasons
Blisters on the skin may be a reaction to thermal burns from hot water, steam, iron or other devices. Burned skin usually feels hot and sore and red. After some time, a bubble forms at the burn site.
Symptoms
In addition to the fact that acne can itch on the palms and blisters form on the skin, a person can experience any other symptoms, which depend on the disorder itself or the underlying disease. Thus, a rash on the fingers or palms is often associated with itching, swelling, hypersensitivity and pain.
When the disease manifests itself with problems in certain systems in the body, discomfort in the throat, rhinitis, chills, cough, high temperature, and excessive sweating appear. In addition, the rash on the hands is accompanied by pain in the joints, difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue and lips.
If, when a rash occurs, small pimples on the palms begin to itch and itch, you should definitely consult a specialist.
The main causes of rashes on the hands
The shape of the rash depends on the cause of the inflammation. As a rule, acne on the arms above the elbow and up to the shoulder is the result of allergies or improper metabolism. Sometimes they itch or hurt, and sometimes they do not cause any discomfort.
The allergic reaction has a wave-like character - a rash in the form of goose bumps can periodically disappear and reappear under the influence of the allergen.
Other signs of allergy may not be observed. Most often, such a reaction can be found in a child if he eats honey, tangerine or other highly allergenic food.
In small quantities, these products usually do not cause a rash, but in excess they can cause pimples in adults.
In addition to food, household chemicals can also be a catalyst for an allergic reaction. The rash may be a reaction to the composition of washing powder, cleansing or caring products for the body, or other things common in everyday life.
For example, tissues that come into direct contact with the human body can cause allergies. If such phenomena are periodic, one should monitor what they may be associated with and whether there are similar provoking factors during periods of exacerbation.
Allergic acne can spread over the entire surface of the arms, and not just higher from the elbow to the shoulder.
In advanced cases of allergies, the rash will spread throughout the body, as a result of which it may appear on the back, legs, and face. Antihistamines can treat severe allergies.
Another reason why acne appears on the hands is metabolic disorders. Most often, the rash first appears on the fingers, gradually moving to the hands and above.
Disturbances in the functioning of internal organs can lead to changes in the process of absorption of substances and the removal of their processed products from the body. Thus, intoxication may occur, which will affect the skin.
In most cases of metabolic disorders, the rash covers not only the hands, but also other parts of the body.
Rashes can appear as subcutaneous pimples on the hands, in the form of acne, or in the form of single inflamed purulent formations.
People, thinking about how to get rid of acne on their hands, fingers or feet, understand that the rash cannot be dealt with only with the help of cosmetics.
To cure rashes caused by metabolic disorders, it is necessary to eliminate the root of the problem, that is, to improve the functioning of the body, and not just fight the consequences of its disorders. To do this, you should resort to a whole range of measures, and you need to start by going to a good specialist.
Most likely, you will have to undergo an examination, after which the doctor will prescribe a diet and medications, the list of which will depend on the nature of the problem. You will also need to take care of your skin.
Only with such a responsible approach will it be possible to get rid of the unpleasant consequences of metabolic disorders forever.
Kinds
When acne forms on the skin of the hands, it is likely that the person has contracted some kind of infection. Infection can occur through hygiene items.
Small water pimples are caused by infectious diseases. In particular, children are exposed to them. When a child develops a rash on his hands, he probably has chickenpox or measles.
Small pimples in the form of a rash indicate an allergy. This may occur due to the use of certain foods or medications.
A slight white rash may indicate metabolic problems. But it can also manifest itself due to lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet, and a passive lifestyle.

When the inflammatory process appears on the hands, this is a signal of the presence of infectious diseases. Psoriasis and eczema often appear on the hands.
The rash from the forearm to the elbow is often red. It appears due to a sedentary lifestyle, constant fatigue, and poor hygiene. Due to an unbalanced diet, inflammation also appears in this part of the body.
Pimples on fingers can be small or large. They also form as a rash. The provoking factor is a fungal infection. In childhood, the appearance of pimples on the fingers is caused by chickenpox.
Pimples form on the palms during an allergic reaction or colds. Both red and white pimples are noticeable in this area of the body. During this, redness and itching are noticeable on the skin.
Treatment
Before you begin treating the rash, you need to answer the question of why it appeared. A dermatologist will tell you how to get rid of pimples. The doctor will prescribe individual treatment for each patient. The reasons for the development of the disease in children, women, and men can differ dramatically.

In the male part of the population, pimples occur due to the presence of severe acne and hormonal disorders. In this case, long-term treatment with ointments, gels, and lotions is indicated. Each of the medicinal components contains antibiotics and benzoyl peroxides. In case of prolonged form, it is necessary to take medications orally.
Rash in women is a consequence of an imbalance of hormones in the body. It is necessary to start treatment only after passing all the necessary tests. The balance can be normalized through proper nutrition, constant preventive measures, and avoidance of stressful situations. Specialists treat the rash with drugs such as streptocide, furatsilin, salicylic acid.
Pimples on a child’s elbows indicate multiple problems in the body. Purulent pimples on the elbow covering areas indicate streptococcal disease, scarlet fever or staphylococcus. In this case, a special course of antibiotics will be effective.
White pimples on the elbows, arms and shoulders indicate that the child has a disease called keratosis. Frequent stress and a weakened immune system lead to their appearance. Dry red pimples indicate diseases: rubella, chicken pox, measles, mononucleosis.

- Gently wash the skin with baby or laundry soap;
- open the affected area so that air can easily penetrate to it;
- It is recommended to wipe the bumps with a special solution of calendula 2 times a day (it promotes rapid drying and healing).

Heredity
Heredity may also well be the cause of acne above the elbows and in the shoulder area. This especially applies to subcutaneous acne, which, having appeared suddenly, stubbornly does not respond to any treatment. Only a dermatologist can determine the true cause of the disease.
And of course, failure to comply with basic personal hygiene rules is almost guaranteed to lead to the formation of acne above the elbow. After all, the skin in this area is thin and delicate, that is, microorganisms that enter here can easily begin to reproduce. This means pimples will appear.
White pimples on the arms above the elbow cause a lot of trouble. These formations look very unsightly. And the reason for their occurrence is inflammation of the follicles (hair roots), which arises due to the active reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms that enter the skin.
Red pimples on hands
Reasons for appearance
Red irritation occurs from various reasons:
- infectious process;
- food or contact allergies;
- fungal infection;
- tick infestation;
- improper care with highly drying alcohol-containing solutions.
Symptoms
Small red pimples can signal serious changes in the body:
- decreased immunity;
- lack of basic microelements;
- gynecological or venereal infection;
- allergic contact reaction;
- mechanical abrasion.
Analyzes
A venereal-gynecologist will refer a patient with suspected infection to:
- general blood analysis;
- test for syphilis, HIV, chlamydia, other infections;
- an allergist will check for the presence of allergens in the blood;
- The therapist will suggest checking biochemistry to find out the level of trace elements in the blood.
Bacterial infection
Pyoderma is a purulent lesion of the skin of the hands and face caused by streptococci and staphylococci. This disease is one of the three most common dermatoses in children (the first two are scabies and skin fungus). Subcutaneous acne occurs in the pilosebaceous follicles on the back of the hands.
People with thin skin, mainly children and women, are more susceptible to streptoderma.
A common form of the disease is streptococcal periungual impetigo. Small watery blisters with cloudy contents, pustules, crusts, spots appear. The patient feels a slight itching of the skin, possibly increased dryness of the epidermis, and an increase in temperature.
Preparations for external treatment of streptoderma:
- antiseptic and disinfectant ointment Zinc;
- wound healing and bactericidal cream Eplan;
- antiseptic ointment Miramistin Darnitsa;
- antibacterial ointment Gentamicin;
- antibacterial powder Baneocin;
- antibacterial ointment Lincomycin;
- Hyoxysone ointment (GCS + antibiotic)
- Belogent cream (GCS + antibiotic);
- Ichthyol ointment.
If pimples appear, it is recommended to wipe your hands and other affected areas with salicylic alcohol (1-2%), pink solution of potassium permanganate, and lubricate with Chlorophyllipt. Often, patients with pyoderma have an elevated temperature. In these cases, oral antibiotics and antihistamines are indicated.
Oral preparations
To treat acne on the body, not only local therapy is effective, but also taking infusions and decoctions of medicinal herbs orally. Nettle has an immunostimulating and anti-inflammatory effect. Its infusion is taken half a glass before each meal.
Dandelion decoction helps to cope with the addition of bacterial microflora. In this case, purulent contents appear in the pimples. The root of this plant is crushed, a tablespoon is poured into a glass of water and boiled. The resulting broth is filtered and taken 3 times a day, one-third of a glass.
A decoction of burdock roots is also considered an effective remedy. Preparation and administration are the same as in the case of dandelion decoction. But they take it not 3, but 4 times a day, regardless of meals.
Possible diseases
Every day, human hands come into contact with various objects. It’s good if these are clean household items that are subjected to temperature and chemical treatment during the care process. But what about public places where dirt, bacteria and germs wave a friendly hand at every corner? Of course, when in contact with dirty objects, the skin on the hands can be exposed to a wide variety of pathogens, resulting in an allergy - a rash on the hands in the form of pimples.
In some cases, rashes may appear due to the development of certain diseases. This is a rare case, but even it can cause allergies. Poor diet or stress are other reasons why small pimples may appear on your hands.
Allergy
The very first and most common sign of an allergy is a rash on the hands in the form of small pimples. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to cure it completely - all that remains is to avoid contact with the irritant. If a rash appears, you should take an antihistamine. Often the source of such a reaction is household chemicals - washing powders and gels, dishwashing detergents, surface and bathroom cleaners. This type of allergy often affects people who, due to their professional activities, are exposed to chemicals. Hairdressers, cleaning service employees, etc. - these people are forced to work with toxic substances, which cause an allergic reaction. All that is needed in this case is to prevent further contact with irritants or use special protective equipment (gloves).
Allergies are not the only reason why a rash in the form of pimples may appear on the hands. Whether this place itches or not does not matter
It is important to pay attention to the nature of the rash, its location and quantity. In any case, you should consult a dermatologist to clarify and treat such a reaction.
Enterovirus infection
Small red or pale pink pimples, which are localized primarily on the hands, may be the first sign of the development of an acute infectious disease. Accompanied by fever, weakness and general malaise. Pimples are located relatively far away from each other and form small groups among themselves. Most often, children suffer from enterovirus infection.
For treatment, it is necessary to stabilize the general condition - drink more fluids and take antipyretic drugs. There is no need to use ointments and creams for acne - the rashes will dry out and go away on their own.
Miliaria is a common occurrence in the hot season
Clothing often becomes an external irritant, which provokes small rashes on the hands and other parts of the body. We are talking about synthetic fabrics that are poorly breathable and prevent the skin from breathing. Increased sweating in the hot season irritates the skin, which leads to the formation of small pimples with purulent contents. As a rule, such rashes provoke itching and noticeable discomfort.
To get rid of the rash, you should choose clothes made from natural materials, keep them clean and hygienic, and use hypoallergenic laundry detergents.
Vesiculopustulosis or pemphigus
This is a skin disease, which can be caused by the development of pathogenic microorganisms. Small pimples with white contents can appear on the shoulders (herpes dermatitis), all over the body (purulent pimples), and on the palms (mycotic dermatitis). Only a dermatologist can determine the exact cause, based on the location of the formations and their nature.
With vesiculopustulosis, severe itching is observed. There are several other signs characteristic of this disease:
- Chronic in nature - pemphigus may disappear and appear again.
- Crust formation.
You cannot cure it on your own - the doctor prescribes medications and drying agents.
Coxsackie virus
This is a childhood infectious disease that is accompanied by fever, joint pain and aches. Nausea and vomiting may be present. Small pimples on the hands are very itchy, the skin in the area of the rash can peel off, as if after a long stay in the sun.

Some of them can be severe, causing sharp and painful symptoms, while others can be mild and will disappear without the help of others within 1-2 days.
Atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema)
Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is an acquired skin condition that is understood to cause dryness and itching. Eczema often occurs in people who suffer from hay fever and asthma. There are different types, but each of them causes itching and redness of the skin.
Types of eczema include hand eczema, contact dermatitis, which occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance, and dyshidrotic eczema, which is found only on the fingers, palms and soles of the feet.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis
Psoriasis ( a chronic non-infectious disease, dermatosis, mainly affecting the skin
) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by spots on the skin.
These spots are traditionally reddish, itchy and scaly. They can also vary in severity from small and localized to completely covering the body ( a polysemous word, can mean
).
The Mayo Clinic states that psoriasis is a common skin condition that alters the life cycle of cells. It causes cells to grow rapidly on the surface of the skin, and additional cells form thick, silvery, dry scales that itch. Time ( the form of physical and mental processes, the condition for the possibility of change
) they can also be extremely sick from time to time.
Diaper rash
