Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in which red papules or plaques of various sizes, covered with silvery-white scales and with clear boundaries, repeatedly occur on the skin of the entire body.
The main sites of occurrence are elbows, knees, hips, scalp, or anywhere on the skin of the body. At first, a small rash appears, and white, dandruff-like dead skin cells pile up on top of the rash area. Hyperproliferation of the stratum corneum becomes the main pathological mechanism.

Applying topical steroids is the basis of treatment, and if symptoms are severe or systemic, oral medications may be prescribed, and in some cases, laser treatment or simple surgery may be performed.

무좀은 우리나라에서 가장 흔한 백선으로 성인에게 많이 발생합니다. 발 무좀(족부 백선)은 발가락 사이 혹은 발뒤꿈치에 많이 생깁니다. 주로 발가락 사이 피부가 짓무르고 습기에 불어 하얗게 되거나 갈라지며 각질이 벗겨지기도 합니다.
Excessive sweating can lead to unpleasant foot odor and sometimes itching. Toenail fungus is much more difficult and takes longer to treat than foot fungus.

It is common to treat athlete's foot by applying antifungal ointment, which can be applied to the lesion and surrounding area once or twice a day.
Even if everything seems to have healed, continuing to apply more for 2 to 3 weeks will help prevent recurrence.
If symptoms are severe, you may need to take antifungal medication.
If there is acute inflammation or a secondary bacterial infection occurs, antibiotics should be administered or applied after consultation with a doctor.
Recently, laser treatment can also be used to reduce the time. Be sure to receive appropriate prescriptions after consulting a doctor.
In the case of toenail fungus, oral medication treatment is essential and long-term treatment of more than 6 months is necessary, and these days, improvement is possible with laser treatment.

Looking at skin symptoms, in the early stages, itching, blisters, papules, erythema, and swelling are observed. In the chronic stage, swelling and blisters are reduced, but skin wrinkles become more prominent, skin becomes thicker, such as lichenification, scales, and pigmentation.
Usually, the itching is severe and in severe cases, oozing may occur, and the more you scratch, the worse the symptoms become.

To treat eczema, you must essentially remove yourself from the environment that causes eczema.
This is because hospital treatment is intended to return abnormal eczema to the skin it used to be, not to make the skin more resistant to water or detergents.
Therefore, eczema cannot be treated if you repeat housework after treatment so that your hands do not dry out, or if you continue to irritate the skin with detergents, etc.
If it gets dry, eczema gets worse and moisturizing is very important, so apply moisturizing cream or ointment frequently.

It is one of the most commonly seen nail diseases and mainly occurs in the big toenail. It refers to a disease in which the toenail digs into the flesh, causing inflammation and pain.
At first, the outside or inside of the big toe becomes slightly red, swollen, and feels mild pain. Soon, as friction intensifies, it becomes more swollen, oozes, granulation tissue (a lump of inflammation, blood vessels, and fibrous tissue) proliferates, and the area around the toenail grows. It starts to fester.
As the disease progresses, the smell becomes strong, the pain becomes severe, and normal walking becomes difficult.

First, the sides of the ingrown nail plate are removed and the marginal skin covering the nail is removed. To prevent recurrence, the ingrown nail plate is excised vertically, and the nail matrix is also excised or electrocautery using high frequency or laser is performed to prevent the toenails from growing at the edges. .

To effectively treat atopic dermatitis, moisturizing dry skin is very important. Topical steroids and local immunomodulators (calcineurin inhibitors) are the main treatments, and antihistamines are also commonly used to suppress itching.

1) 보통사마귀 가장 흔한 유형으로서, 거칠고 융기된 표면을 가진 다양한 크기의 구진이 손등, 손톱 주위, 얼굴, 입술, 귀 등에 발생합니다. 소아에서 흔히 관찰되며 성인이 되면 발생 빈도도 낮아지고 병변의 수도 줄어듭니다. 노인이 되어 면역이 떨어지면 다시 증가하는 경향이 보입니다.

2) 편평 사마귀 표면이 편평한 작은 구진으로 나타나며 각각의 병변이 합쳐져 불규칙한 판이 되기도 합니다. 어린이와 청년에 흔히 발생하며, 이마, 턱, 코, 입 주위와 손등에 잘 발생합니다. 치료가 어렵기도 하지만 자연 치유의 빈도도 높습니다.

3) 손발바닥 사마귀 발바닥 사마귀는 체중에 의해 눌려서 티눈처럼 보이기도 하는데 실제로 발바닥 사마귀와 티눈 또는 굳은 살을 감별하는 것은 쉽지 않습니다. 표면의 각질층을 깎아내고 관찰하여 모세혈관에 의한 여러 개의 검은 점이 보이거나 점상 출혈이 생기면 사마귀로 진단할 수 있습니다. 티눈과는 달리 신발에 닿는 부위나 체중이 실리는 부위와는 상관없이 생기는 경우가 흔하며 여러 개가 모여 있고 옮기는 경향이 있습니다.

4) 음부 사마귀, 뾰족콘딜로마 흔한 성인성 질환의 하나로서 대개 성관계후 2~3개월 뒤에 피부병변이 나타납니다. 남자의 경우에는 음경포피로 덮여있는 고랑, 요도 입구 및 항문 주위부에 잘 나타나며 여자의 경우에는 외음부, 자궁 경부, 회음부 및 항문 등에 잘 나타납니다. 성기 이외의 점막에도 사마귀가 발생할 수 있습니다. 초기에는 표면이 윤기가 나는 작은 구진으로 시작하지만 시간이 경과함에 따라 구진이 모여 닭 볏 모양이 되기도 합니다.

Most wart treatments currently used have a cure rate of approximately 50 to 601 TP3T and an average recurrence rate of 20 to 501 TP3T. There are several treatments for warts, which can be selected depending on the location, size, and number of warts, the patient's age, and immune status. Applying a keratolytic agent or a mixture of salicylic acid and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) to the lesion is usually the first method tried. Continuous treatment is required for complete cure, and methods such as applying a bandage after applying medication can increase the treatment effect. Electrocautery, laser, and cryotherapy are common and simple methods, but their disadvantages are that they can leave scars and have a high recurrence rate.

Severe pain or paresthesia may appear on one side of the body, and blisters may appear on the skin. Depending on the location of the disease, symptoms may include headaches, difficulty breathing, stomach pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and muscle pain. However, if there are no blistering lesions in the beginning, itching, stinging, and muscle pain are often mistaken for muscle pain or other internal organ diseases, so tests are performed at a clinic other than a dermatology department or the patient is often treated for a few days.
If a blister appears, you can immediately tell if it is this disease. If a blister appears, it is recommended to see a dermatologist. When a blister appears, it turns into a pus-filled blister within 3 days, and after a week, a scab forms and heals. In some cases, all skin lesions have improved, but only tingling nerve pain symptoms remain. This symptom is called postherpetic neuralgia and may require long-term treatment.

The treatment for this disease is the administration of antiviral drugs. Most cases are cured by injecting or taking antiviral drugs within 3 to 5 days of the blisters for about a week. Depending on the symptoms, painkillers and antihistamines may be administered. However, if treatment is started late, the patient is elderly, or has a chronic underlying disease, pain in the relevant area may continue even after drug treatment. The duration of postherpetic neuralgia depends on the patient's condition, but may last from a month to a year, and in some cases, may last longer.
Almost all of the antiviral drugs are excreted through the kidneys, so the dosage must be adjusted in patients with renal failure. In particular, if the pain is severe, it often progresses to post-herpetic neuralgia, so other procedures such as strong painkillers or nerve blocks may be needed. This disease cannot be transmitted by coming into contact with someone who has shingles. However, it is recommended to isolate people who have never had chickenpox before, children, or patients hospitalized because it can cause illness.

Corns are painful when pressed from above, and if they occur on the soles of the feet, they may become inflamed or pus may fill the area, making it difficult to walk due to severe pain.
Depending on the degree of hardness, corns can be roughly divided into hard corns, which are hard, and soft corns, which are relatively soft. Hard corns are more common than soft corns and can occur on any part of the body where pressure is applied, but are most common on the hands and feet. When the top of the corn is shaved off, the nucleus appears in the densest part of the lesion.
You may also feel a dull sensation or pain in the area of the corn. If corns are not treated, they may cause pain when walking, blisters, bleeding, ulcers, or inflammation.

Treatment for corns and calluses is similar; it is helpful to be careful not to apply friction or pressure to the skin, and to reduce pressure by wearing comfortable shoes that fit your feet or using pads.
It is not easy to completely treat corns or calluses. Therefore, use salicylic acid, lactic acid liniment, corns, etc. that partially dissolve dead skin cells, and when the dead skin cells become soft, carefully scrape them off with a clean razor blade and disinfect them. In addition, cryotherapy can help improve the symptoms of corns. For deep and large corns, laser treatment or surgical treatment can be performed. In the case of soft corns, in addition to applying a keratolytic agent, surgical treatment to cut the corns can be performed. However, if the cause of the corns is not removed, they often recur. If it is caused by bone protrusion, removing the protruding bone is helpful for treatment.

The skin swells rapidly, accompanied by severe itching, and the skin symptoms disappear within 3 to 4 hours and then reappear in another location. In most cases, each skin change disappears within 12 to 24 hours, but in some cases, such as urticaria vasculitis or papular urticaria, it may last for more than a day. Cholinergic urticaria, which appears when body temperature rises, is characterized by the fact that it occurs at a size of several millimeters, much smaller than typical urticaria, and is often accompanied by pain.

If you have swelling around your eyes or lips when you have hives, it may be accompanied by angioedema, and may be accompanied by digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, or respiratory symptoms such as hoarseness and difficulty breathing. Hives and angioedema can occur anywhere on the body. In particular, angioedema mainly appears on the face, arms, and legs, and the symptoms appear as burning or tingling rather than itching, and the symptoms may last for several days. Angioedema around the mouth may progress to an emergency, so prompt treatment is required.

The first-line medications for hives are second-generation antihistamines, which have fewer drowsy side effects. Especially in the case of chronic urticaria, antihistamines should be appropriately selected and taken regularly at the lowest dose that completely controls urticaria symptoms. The goal of hives treatment is to keep you symptom-free while maintaining your regular medication regimen. For severe urticaria that cannot be controlled even with increased doses of antihistamines, immunosuppressants such as leukotriene inhibitors, cyclosporine, and monoclonal antibodies against IgE may be considered. Additionally, if hives worsen acutely and rapid symptom control is required, corticosteroids can be taken for a short period of time, within 1 to 2 weeks.

Keloids clinically appear as skin-colored, hypopigmented, or erythematous nodules with a hard, smooth surface. Unlike hypertrophic scars, they can infiltrate beyond the original wound area and into the surrounding normal skin. Accompanying symptoms include itching and tenderness, and according to one clinical study, about half of patients experienced itching and pain in 80%.

Local steroid injection therapy is used to treat keloids. It is not completely cured with one treatment, but periodic injection treatment is required whenever symptoms worsen.
