Dermatological skin conditions affect an immense amount of people. They can vary greatly in symptoms and severity, but they all cause distress, and causing a series of impacts on the quality of life.
Most common skin conditions
Acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and hyperpigmentation are among the most common skin conditions, and they can affect the patient alone, simultaneously, or even as a consequence of each other.
- Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that manifests in comedones, papules, pustules, and sometimes cysts and nodules. Acne lesions can cause scarring on the skin, leading to psychosocial impacts such as loss of self-confidence, anxiety, or commuting avoidance.
- Rosacea is also an inflammatory condition that, similar to acne, also presents papules and pustules, but its main characteristics are intermittent skin redness, telangiectasias (small blood vessels on the skin), hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands, and vasodilation.
- Seborrheic dermatitis is another skin condition that can affect the skin of the face, causing erythema and scaling with associated pruritus.
- Lastly, hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by an overproduction of melanin due to different stimuli that can be endogenous (hormone production, genetic predisposition) or exogenous (UV exposure, skin lesions, cosmetics, and medicines composition).
A common thread among these conditions is inflammation and sensitization, caused by the problem itself or as a consequence of their treatments, which sometimes use acidic or aggressive medicines to stimulate the renovation of the skin layers.
The role of Dermocosmetic treatments
Considering the many possible causes and the chronic aspects of different skin diseases, the focus of treatments is to control existing symptoms and limit the duration of the condition, avoiding permanent scarring as much as possible, along with other possible complications.
To choose the best strategy for treatment, individual patient factors must be taken into consideration, such as medical condition, disease state, the severity of the lesions, patient history, and the preferred type of treatment (oral or topical).
The selection of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and its dosage should be based on the severity of each case. Most of these ingredients can be formulated in several forms. Their adequate combination with a suitable cream base can help decrease possible side effects, increase patient adherence to treatment, and improve the general aspect of the skin.
