appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with this type of skin experience a lot of shine during the day and usually feel the need to wash their face more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defects can appear as a result of the use of cosmetics, diet, or the result of inherited genes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the benefits of this skin is that it usually ages at a slower pace due to the extra moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This keeps the skin moisturized and makes it less prone to wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sensitive skin defects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensitive skin isn&#039;t a disease that a doctor can diagnose, and it&#039;s usually a symptom of another condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not know you have sensitive skin until you have had a bad reaction to a cosmetic product like soap, moisturizer, or makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin sensitivity appears due to some factors, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>skin dryness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration occurs when the skin loses a lot of water and oil due to itching or flaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration can occur anywhere on the body but is especially common in the hands, arms, and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>eczema<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Eczema (atopic dermatitis) affects your skin&#039;s ability to protect it from irritants such as germs in the air or chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms vary from person to person, but you may notice some small bumps where fluid may leak and crust over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some red to gray-brown spots on the skin, and the skin is swollen, scaly, and thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Irritant contact dermatitis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a red rash that develops when the protective layer of the skin is damaged by something you touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Having a red rash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The appearance of some signs of burning on the face.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>swelling;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of this infection resolve on their own within a few weeks, but if symptoms worsen, they need treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Allergic contact dermatitis<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Less common than contact dermatitis, it occurs when you have an

contact with an irritant and symptoms appear in numbness, redness, and bruising on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rash in this case is often caused by eating raw foods or sharing cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Photodermatology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is defined as an abnormal skin reaction to sunlight, as ultraviolet rays stimulate the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in a rash, blisters, or scaly patches on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rash appears only on parts of the body exposed to the sun, and gets worse in spring and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cutaneous mastocytosis CM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obese fat cells build up in the skin, which is part of the

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dry skin defects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry skin may occur as a result of frequent hand washing, frequent use of sanitizer, or exposure to dry weather conditions, hot water, and certain chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skin becomes drier with age, especially by the age of 60, as a result of the pores producing less oil naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry skin also increases during the fall and winter months when humidity levels are relatively low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can skin defects be diagnosed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dermatologist at Nudra Skin, Cosmetic and Laser Center in Hurghada can diagnose these defects by visually examining the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If looking at your skin doesn&#039;t provide clear answers, your doctor may recommend some tests, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>biopsy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the removal of a small piece of skin for examination under a microscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>planting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It consists in taking a sample of the skin to check for bacteria, fungi, or viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>skin patch test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be done using small amounts of material to test for sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>black light check<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultraviolet light can be used to see skin pigmentation more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>dermoscopy <\/strong><strong>Dermoscopy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is used to examine and diagnose skin lesions using a

Freshness Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser in Hurghada, with the change in lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may notice significant improvement if you do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bathe for 5 to 10 minutes with warm, not hot, water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid strong astringents and exfoliants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a gentle, fragrance-free soap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use essential oils instead of perfume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to use organic cleaning agents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently dry yourself after showering instead of rubbing, and apply moisturizer right away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test new products on a small area of skin at least one day before a full application trial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Acne can be treated with medications such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>retinoid;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antibiotics that kill skin bacteria and reduce redness and inflammation, often combined with benzoyl peroxide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Azelaic acid (a natural acid produced by yeast) and salicylic acid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;In the case of moderate to severe infection, you can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Menoxiline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>erythromycin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all of these treatments may help, so doctors recommend chemical peels or laser treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids and antihistamines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this treatment does not work, the excimer laser is recommended, which uses ultraviolet rays to treat the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also get rid of blackheads by cleaning the skin with HydraFacial, which gives you glowing skin free of fine threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps fight the signs of aging, reduces congestion in skin pores, and reduces hyperpigmentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the end, you can treat various skin
