– Rosacea: A common skin disorder affecting over 16 million Americans, characterized by facial redness, small visible blood vessels, acne-like bumps, and irritated eyes. Surveys show that rosacea lowers self-confidence and self-esteem for many patients, with over 41% avoiding public contact or canceling social engagements.
– Melasma: Tan or dark patches often found on the upper cheek, nose, lips, and forehead. They may gradually develop over time and are common in pregnant women, though they can affect anyone.
– Spider Veins (telangiectasia, varicose veins): Widened veins visible through the skin with a wheel-and-spoke shape. Causes include rosacea, acne, sun or cold exposure, skin trauma, and radiation or chemotherapy exposure. Spider veins generally affect women more than men and often occur during pregnancy.
– Milia: Keratin-filled cysts that appear under the skin, typically around the nose and eyes. Common in newborn babies, but can occur at any age.
– Skin Tags (acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyps): Small benign tumors often found in skin creases, such as the neck, armpit, and groin, or on the eyelids. Generally harmless and painless.
– Sebaceous Hyperplasia: Enlarged sebaceous glands, causing yellow and shiny facial bumps, often on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and sebarrhoeic skin. Commonly associated with hair follicles and affecting middle-aged to elderly adults.
– Cholesterol Deposits (xanthoma): Fat buildup under the skin, appearing as flat, soft, yellow bumps. Common among older adults and those with high blood lipids.
– Xanthelasma palpebra: A type of cholesterol deposit on the eyelids, which may occur without any underlying medical condition and not necessarily associated with elevated cholesterol or lipids.
– Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (barber’s itch, razor bumps, shave bumps): Persistent irritation caused by shaving, common in facial hair but can also occur in other hair-bearing body parts.
– Brown/Sun/Liver Spots: Blemishes linked with aging and sun exposure, ranging in color from light brown to red or black. Located in sun-exposed areas such as hands, face, shoulders, arms, forehead, and scalp (if bald). Can sometimes obscure the detection of skin cancer.
– Acne: A common skin condition characterized by scaly red skin, blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and possible scarring. Acne often affects self-esteem and warrants early, aggressive treatment to minimize its impact.
– Cherry Angiomas (Campbell de Morgan spots): Clusters of tiny capillaries at the skin surface, forming small, bright red to purple domes. Cherry angiomas often increase in frequency with age and can bleed profusely if damaged.
