Skin Diseases - Welcome to SKin Disorders Section
Besides being the largest organ of the body, the skin is very dynamic. Constant activity in the skin includes:
- Formation of new cells and shedding of old cells in the epidermis.
- Fresh pure blood is brought to each and every part of the skin and impure blood taken away through the intricate network of blood vessels in the dermis. The entire skin and hair derives its nutrition from the blood supplied by these blood vessels.
- The oil glands produce oil or sebum to lubricate the skin.
- The sweat glands produce sweat all day.
- Hair roots continuously multiply to make new hair.
- The defence or immune cells fight chemical and microbial invaders, and prevent pollutants and germs-viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.-from entering the body and causing diseases.
- The cells within the dermis constantly repair and replenish the collagen and elastin fibres.
All these activities take place simultaneously all day long without any break throughout your lifetime! Add to this our stressful lifestyles, pollution and the sun, and its no wonder that the smooth functioning of your skin may get affected sometimes. Here is a quick primer to some common skin problems and a few sensible guidelines to help you resolve them.
