Cosmetic problems are not always the result of improper or inadequate care. Sometimes the cause of defects are various skin diseases of the face. Medical therapy of such pathologies is carried out after careful diagnosis, during which a variety of the disease is identified, as well as its main pathogen.
Types of dermatological skin diseases

- actinomycosis;
- pityrious (scaly, colorful) deprive;
- dermatomycosis.
Only parasitic diseases are demodicosis. This disease of the skin of the face is provoked by a tick, which lives in the hair follicles. Often demodicosis is confused with acne, which is why improper treatment is prescribed, and the symptoms of pathology are amplified.
Viral and bacterial skin diseases

- genital warts;
- shingles;
- molluscum contagiosum ;
