Let’s understand the 4 most common skin conditions where you need to consult our best skin specialist in Bopal, Ahmedabad.

Acne – A skin condition that results in lesions (pimples)

Acne is a thin condition that arises when hair follicles under the skin get blocked. Oil and dead cells shut off the pores that result in lesions, commonly known as pimples. This skin condition is common in all age groups that occurs on the face, back, shoulder, and chest.

Studies show three situations in the pore that may result in Acme.

  1. Excess or high production of oil
  2. A build-up of dead skin cells
  3. Growth of bacteria

Here are several types of lesions that arise.

  • Whiteheads– A white lump is caused by plugged hair follicles that remain beneath the skin.
  • Blackheads- Plugged follicles that reach the skin’s surface and open. They seem black on the skin’s surface because the air discolours the sebum, not because they are filthy.
  • Papules- Inflamed lesions that show as little pink lumps on the skin and are painful to the touch.

Vitiligo – A skin condition that causes the skin to lose colour

Vitiligo is a skin condition that results in losing the colour of the skin. The skin turns milky-white colour when colour-making skin cells are attacked and destroyed. No one knows the reason behind this particular skin condition.
