Modern medicine identifies more than 600 skin problems, the vast majority of which are only the result of some factors, and only a small part of them are directly diseases of the epidermis.

The main diseases of the facial skin are:

• Anke - pimples and blackheads, the appearance of which is caused by disturbances in the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• Rosacea is a small red or pink rash;
• Cuperosis - spider veins;
• Papillomas are neoplasms on the skin caused by a virus;
• Impetigo is an infectious purulent disease caused by streptococci and staphylococci (expressed in red tuberous rashes and spots);
• Keratosis - small spots covered with rough scales;
• Vitiligo - pink or milky-white spots with a round shape;
• Chloasma is increased skin pigmentation with clear boundaries;
• Seborrheic dermatitis is peeling of the skin in the nose and eyes, characterized by pain and itching.

Symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis on the face

With seborrheic dermatitis on the face, symptoms appear:

• the appearance of pink, red or burgundy spots on the skin;
• the formation of white or yellowish scales and hemorrhagic crusts;
• peeling of the skin;
• irritation and increased sensitivity of the skin;

The course of the disease worsens in the autumn. In summer, unpleasant symptoms usually disappear.

If the ducts of the sebaceous glands become clogged, acne appears.

The disease is especially severe in men who grow beards and mustaches. Large plaques form under the hairline, which eventually transform into papules. If an infection occurs, then erythroderma is also detected. When papules coalesce, swollen areas colored red form.

The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis are similar to those of other dermatological diseases. Therefore, only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis after a thorough examination of the patient.

Scalp psoriasis requires systematic treatment under the supervision of a physician. An active lifestyle, quitting smoking and alcohol, and following a diet are of decisive importance. The disease must be treated comprehensively, using methods taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s body. Complex therapy can include modern European techniques, drug treatment, as well as time-tested oriental methods. Such treatment can immediately significantly improve the patient’s condition and lead to the development of stable remission within a few weeks.

PRP therapy is a method based on the ability of platelets (red blood platelets) to secrete a growth factor that stimulates the regenerative abilities of cells. By centrifugation, the patient's blood is enriched with platelets and then precisely injected into the scalp. The technique allows you to significantly accelerate the onset of remission and prevent the development of relapses.

Autohemotherapy - treatment is carried out by intramuscular injection of a small amount of blood taken from the patient’s vein. This has a general stimulating effect and restores the epithelium of the head. After treatment, stable remission is observed.

Reflexology is the effect of various methods on special points on the body that are reflexively associated with organs and tissues. One of the most ancient and effective traditional methods of treatment. The points can be affected by acupuncture (acupuncture), moxibustion, massage, etc. Treatment of scalp psoriasis with these methods has been practiced in Eastern medicine for thousands of years. Therapeutic procedures are performed by a reflexologist.

Vacuum therapy - exposure to rarefied air on biologically active points - is one of the methods of reflexology. It can be carried out using cans or special equipment. Promotes rapid restoration of damaged tissues. As a result of the use of vacuum therapy, the affected areas are significantly reduced.

Herbal medicine - dermatologists widely use medicinal plants in their practice in the form of infusions, decoctions and ready-made pharmaceutical forms. When used correctly as part of complex treatment, they are very effective both in the initial stages of the disease and in its long-term forms. If you add herbal medicine, the effectiveness of other treatment methods increases and the risk of developing undesirable drug effects decreases.

Signs of psoriasis:

• the appearance of pink or red spots (occur not only on the head, but also on the arms, legs, and other parts of the body);
• gray scales on plaques;
• itching, sometimes pain.

An outbreak of this autoimmune disease can easily be confused with seborrhea. It is important to see a doctor on time, because the treatment of these ailments is very different.

Psoriasis appears between the ages of 15 and 35 years. Outbreaks of the disease can be caused by:

• poor nutrition;
• cold or dry air;

The causative agent is not fungi, but the person’s own immunity, which attacks healthy cells, which causes active growth of the epidermis.

Therapy requires close supervision by a dermatologist. Both local and oral medications can be prescribed. Phototherapy, IV courses, and injections help relieve symptoms.
