Skin Disorders FAQ in Ames, IA

How can I identify my skin type?

If your skin appears shiny throughout, you likely have oily skin. If it feels tight and is flaky or scaly, you likely have dry skin. If the shine is only in your T-zone, you probably have combination skin. If your skin feels hydrated and comfortable, but not oily, you likely have normal skin.

What is Harlequin baby disease?

Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe genetic disorder that affects the skin. Infants with this condition are born prematurely with very hard, thick skin covering most of their bodies. The skin forms large, diamond-shaped plates that are separated by deep cracks (fissures).

What is butterfly syndrome?

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic condition that makes skin so fragile that it can tear or blister at the slightest touch. Children born with it are often called “Butterfly Children” because their skin seems as fragile as a butterfly wing. Mild forms may get better with time.

What viruses cause skin problems?

Chickenpox (varicella-zoster virus). COVID-19 (coronavirus). Fifth disease (parvovirus B19). Hand, foot and mouth disease (coxsackievirus A16). Measles (morbillivirus). Roseola (human herpesvirus 6). Rubella (rubella virus).

What is a psychosomatic rash?

Stress rashes often appear as raised red bumps called hives. They can affect any part of the body, but often a stress rash is on the face, neck, chest or arms. Hives may range from tiny dots to large welts and may form in clusters. They may be itchy or cause a burning or tingling sensation.

Which is the most common skin type found?

Combination. Combination skin is the most common skin type, says Hale. And it looks different from person to person: you might have an oily T-zone (nose, forehead, and/or chin) but dry skin everywhere else, or you might be dry and sensitive only in certain concentrated spots—say, around the eyes or mouth.

What is Type 11 skin?

People with Skin Type II are usually fair with blue eyes, light or fair skin. They manage to get a light tan with repeated exposure to the sun but have a high risk for skin cancer (including melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer).

What cancers cause skin changes?

There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.

What color is melanoma?

Melanoma often contains shades of brown, black, or tan, but some can be red or pink, such as the one shown here. Still you can see some of the ABCDEs here.

What does bacterial skin infection look like?

Bacterial skin infections often begin as small, red bumps that slowly increase in size. Some bacterial infections are mild and easily treated with topical antibiotics, but other infections require an oral antibiotic.

What kills bacteria on skin?

Alcohol is one of the most commonly used disinfectants. It kills most bacteria and fungi by acting on lipid and protein components of the cell. Alcohol is inexpensive and non-toxic, so it is very useful for many applications, especially as a disinfectant for skin.
