Here is an extended description of some of the terms listed above:

Acne is a skin condition involving plugged pores, inflamed pimples and deeper lumps. Acne occurs on the face as well as the neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms. Although most teenagers get some form of acne, adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s or even older can develop acne. Acne can be disfiguring, and untreated acne can leave permanent scars. To avoid acne scarring, treating acne is important.

Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammation of the skin and may occur at any age, but most often begins in infancy and childhood. The skin becomes very itchy with redness, swelling, cracking, crusting and scaling. In most cases there are periods of time when it gets worse, followed by times when it improves. With proper treatment it can be easily controlled. It is generally referred to as eczema.

Contact Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by direct contact with an irritating or allergy-causing substance. Although there may be no initial reaction, repeated exposure (for example, nail polish remover, preservatives in contact lens solutions, or repeated contact with metals in earring posts and the metal backs of watches) can cause eventual sensitization and reaction to the product.

Fungal Infection of the skin and nails is caused by an overgrowth of different types of fungus in different parts of the body. Ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, an overgrowth of yeast and nail infections called onychomycosis.

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which there is severe underarm sweating. Sweat is your body's temperature regulator. Severe sweating significantly exceeds the body's normal requirements for cooling. BOTOX is approved for the treatment of severe underarm sweating when antiperspirants don't work.

Psoriasis is a persistent skin disorder in which there are red, thickened areas with silvery scales, most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Some cases of psoriasis are so mild that people don't know they have it. Severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body. Psoriasis is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another, but it is most likely to occur in members of the same family. Dermatologists can help even the most severe cases.

Moles are small, pigmented spots on the skin that usually appear during childhood or adolescence, although they are sometimes present at birth. They are composed of clusters of pigmented cells called melanocytes. Moles can vary. They can be flesh-colored, yellow-brown or black; be flat or be smooth, hairy or warty. Although moles usually are harmless, in some cases they can become cancerous, causing a potentially deadly tumor called malignant melanoma. For this reason, it is important to monitor moles and have them examined by a dermatologist if there are any changes.

Melanoma is a cancer of the pigment producing cells in the skin, known as melanocytes. Normal melanocytes reside in the outer layer of the skin and produce the brown pigment melanin, which is responsible for the color of our skin. Melanoma is when melanocytes become cancerous, grow, and invade other tissues. This is the most severe form of skin cancer and if left untreated will be fatal.

Basal Cell Carcinoma is thought to be caused by exposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. Basal cell cancer most often looks like a small dome-shaped bump that has a pearly white color. Blood vessels may be seen on the surface. It can also appear as a pimple-like growth that heals, only to come back again and again. A very common sign of basal cell cancer is a sore that bleeds, heals up, only to recur again. Basal cell cancer should be treated promptly by your dermatologist with dermatologic surgical techniques.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma develops in the outer layer of the skin. Some squamous cell carcinomas arise from small sandpaper-like lesions called solar or actinic keratosis. Squamous cell carcinomas usually appear as crusted or scaly patches on the skin with a red, inflamed base, a growing tumor or a non-healing ulcer. They are generally found in sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, arms, scalp, backs of the hands and ears although they can appear anywhere on the body. Any lesion, especially those that do not heal, grow, bleed or change in appearance, should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
 
Seborrheic Dermatitis is a common skin disorder that appears as a red, scaly, itchy rash most commonly seen on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, skin behind the ears, and middle of the chest where excessive oiliness of the skin can occur. It is looks similar to dandruff. Dandruff, however, appears as scaling on the scalp without redness.

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin. Viruses that cause warts are called human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are usually skin-colored and feel rough to the touch, but they can be dark, flat and smooth. The appearance of a wart depends on where it is growing.
