Wart

A wart is a small, rough growth resembling a cauliflower or a solid blister. It

typically occurs on humans' hands or feet but it can grow in any part of the body. Warts
are caused by a viral infection, specifically by one of the many types of human
papillomavirus (HPV). Wart viruses are contagious it can spread by contact with the
wart or something that touched the wart.

Acne
Acne, medically known as Acne Vulgaris, is a
skin disease that involves the oil glands at the
base of hair follicles. It commonly occurs during
puberty when the sebaceous (oil) glands come
to life - the glands are stimulated by male
hormones produced by the adrenal glands of
both males and females. Acne is not
dangerous, but can leave skin scars. Human
skin has pores (tiny holes) which connect to oil
glands located under the skin. The glands are
connected to the pores via follicles - small
canals.

Ring worm

Ringworm is a common fungal infectionof

the skin and is not due to a worm. Ringworm
causes a scaly, crusted rashthat may appear as
round, red patches on the skin.Other symptoms
and signs of ringworm include patches of hair
loss or scaling on the scalp, itching, and blisterlike lesions. It can be successfully treated with
antifungal medications used either topically or
orally.
Athletes Foot
Athlete's foot is a very
common skin condition that
affects the sole of the foot and
the skin between the toes. It is
usually a scaly, red, itchy
eruption and occasionally may
be weepy and oozing. It affects
the feet of athletes and non-athletes alike. The medical name for athlete's foot caused
by a fungus is tinea pedis. There are a variety of fungi that cause athlete's foot, and
these can be contracted in many locations, including gyms, locker
rooms,swimming pools, nail salons, and from contaminated socks and clothing. The
fungi can also be spread directly from person to person by contact. Most people acquire
fungus on the feet from walking barefoot in areas where someone else with athlete's
foot has walked.

Jock Itch
Jock itch is the popular name given to an
itchy rash in the groin that commonly involves
the inner thighs and adjacent skin, including the
scrotum in males. The medical name for rash in
the creases of overlapping skin is "intertrigo."
Jock itch is associated with sweating,
friction/abrasion, occlusive clothing, and the
direct rubbing of skin on skin. The rash may
affect not only the groin, but it can involve any areas of skin that overlap, including
around the anus and in the skin folds of obese individuals. Jock itch affects men and
occasionally women worldwide.

Malaria
Malaria is a disease of the blood
that is caused by the. Plasmodium
parasite, which is transmitted from
person to person by a particular
type of mosquito

Dengue
Dengue fever also known
as breakbone fever, is a mosquitoborne tropical disease caused by
the dengue virus.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin
rashthat is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into
the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood
platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome,
where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious bacterial
disease caused by Mycobacterium
tuberculosis, which most commonly affects
the lungs. It is transmitted from person to
person via droplets from the throat and lungs
of people with the active respiratory disease.
In healthy people, infection with
Mycobacterium tuberculosis often causes no
symptoms, since the person's immune system acts to wall off the bacteria. The
symptoms of active TB of the lung are coughing, sometimes with sputum or blood, chest
pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats. Tuberculosis is treatable with a
six-month course of antibiotics.

Influenza
Influenza is a viral infection that affects mainly
the nose, throat, bronchi and, occasionally,
lungs. Infection usually lasts for about a week,
and is characterized by sudden onset of high
fever, aching muscles, headache and severe
malaise, non-productive cough, sore throat and
rhinitis.
The virus is transmitted easily from person to
person via droplets and small particles produced when infected people cough or
sneeze. Influenza tends to spread rapidly in seasonal epidemics.Most infected people
recover within one to two weeks without requiring medical treatment. However, in the
very young, the elderly, and those with other serious medical conditions, infection can
lead to severe complications of the underlying condition, pneumonia and death.

Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the microscopic
air sacs known as alveoli. It is usually caused by infection withviruses or bacteria and
less commonly other microorganisms, certain drugsand other conditions such
as autoimmune diseases.
Typical symptoms include a cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing.
Diagnostic tools include x-rays and culture of the sputum. Vaccines to prevent certain
types of pneumonia are available.
