Description
The skin is the body's largest organ, and skin conditions are a common complaint among individuals of all ages around the globe. Some are merely annoyances, while others may be painful or even deadly.
This book explores 25 conditions affecting the skin, including autoimmune disorders such as eczema and psoriasis, cancers, acne, different forms of dermatitis, and infections such as cellulitis and ringworm. Utilizing a standardized structure, each entry discusses a particular condition's causes, prevalence, symptoms, potential complications, diagnosis, and treatment options. Treatment options highlighted include medications, surgical procedures, complementary and alternative therapies, and diet and lifestyle changes. Summaries of key research studies are included to help readers better understand the scientific community's findings about each condition. An introductory essay offers a broad overview of the skin, including its complex structure and myriad functions. A further readings section at the end of each entry points readers toward additional resources to expand and deepen their knowledge.
