🔹Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease characterized by whitish, scaly plaques, often accompanied by itching and inflammation. These plaques most commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
Although the disease is not contagious, it requires regular monitoring and treatment, including medication, creams, phototherapy, and lifestyle modifications. Early diagnosis helps prevent the spread of the disease and complications.
🔹Allergic reactions
Allergies are one of the most common causes of skin redness. They can be caused by:
insect bites;
taking certain medications;
food (e.g., seafood, nuts or strawberries);
contact with cosmetics, detergents or plants.
An allergic rash is often accompanied by itching, swelling, or burning. To prevent a recurrence, it is important to determine the exact cause through allergy tests and a consultation with an allergist.
