Eczema
Eczema is chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry skin and very itchy red patches. It isn’t surprising that in Greek, eczema means “skins that cries” describing the intense irritation it causes. Happily, there are several solutions to soothe it.
Rosacea
Itching, redness, irritation, tightness, dilated blood vessels; rosacea has nothing going for it! Affecting more than three million Canadians, this inflammatory skin condition mostly affects women and people with light skin and eyes. The discomfort caused by the symptoms is more irritating than the condition itself. This is why it is important to treat it quickly before it gets worse.
Shingles
The varicella zoster virus, also called herpes zoster, is simply a reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Anyone who has already had chickenpox has the virus hiding in their system. It can remain dormant and never reactivate. However, for 30% of adults, this is not the case and they will experience shingles, usually after 60. Once active, the virus causes sores in the area where the virus went dormant.

It can look like cradle cap or dandruff, so it is important to know how to recognize the condition to treat it as quickly as possible. It is very contagious.
