Prevention & Treatment for Skin Diseases

Skin serves many purposes; it is waterproof and shields your organs from harmful elements. It keeps you warm when it is cold and keeps you cool when it is warm. Together with other organs, skin plays an important role in immunity by combating infections and warding off potentially detrimental microorganisms. But the skin is not immune to infections and diseases. Issues related to the skin can vary from being mild to fatally severe.  Skin diseases are not easy to live with. It is after all an important factor in outward appearance. The symptoms vary from disease to disease but mostly the manifestations are often unsightly like redness, swelling, burning, itching, scabs, bumps, and lumps, to name a few.
