Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often appears as reddish eruptions, forming small bumps or thick, rough plaques. It can also cause intense itching.

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.

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.
Ringworm

However, though rather difficult to detect, ringworm frequently occurs in children from 3 to 12 years of age, and can cause itching. 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.
Hives
We’ve all joked about someone “giving us hives”, but hives are a real skin problem, not just a figure of speech. They can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender — including men, women and children.
