Literally and Figuratively
Skin Deep
Only, or more than that?
Rosacea & Eczema
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes frequent flushing and visible blood vessels. Eczema is characterized by dry, itchy, and scaly patches.
Birthmarks & Tattoos
An overgrowth of blood vessels produces vascular birthmarks (patch of red, pink, or purple skin); an overgrowth of pigment cells produces cafe-au-lait.
Stretch Marks
Ranging from fine lines to thick waves, stretch marks are often caused by extreme weight fluctuation, rapid muscle building and pregnancy.
Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars
Hypertrophic scar is restricted to the area within the original wound, but a keloid scar keeps growing even after the wound has healed.
Varicose & Spider Veins
Aesthetic problem aside, they might cause discomfort that disturb daily activities, such as itching, aching, swelling, throbbing, heaviness, fatigue and night cramps.
