There is no end to people's misconceptions and confusion about skin diseases. One of the most common misconceptions about dermatology is that almost all skin problems are allergic.

Itching is a very common symptom in many skin diseases; But only about 1 percent of skin diseases that have itching symptoms are allergic, the remaining 99 percent are not related to allergies. But this mistake is made by almost everyone, when the skin itches for any reason, almost everyone thinks it is an allergy. In fact, itching and allergy are not synonymous.

When the skin itches for any reason, whether it is a fungal infection, or psoriasis, or scabies (which is caused by a tiny insect infection on the skin), patients first come to the doctor claiming that they have a massive skin allergy attack. Even acne sufferers often refer to acne as allergies, as acne can sometimes itch. There are many other misconceptions people have about skin diseases, which keep people away from proper solutions to skin problems and eventually the problem becomes more complicated.

Misconceptions:

1) First of all, many people think that skin disease is a disease. It does not or cannot be any more different.

2) Skin disease never heals.

3) Even though the skin disease is in the skin, its roots are in the skin. Nad here seems to refer to the alimentary system or the gastrointestinal system. That is why the skin disease will never or will not be cured forever if the root cause of the disease is not removed from the nerve or inside the body.

4) Skin disease is contagious and contact with a person suffering from skin disease is completely avoided.

5) Eating milk (as it is white), sour fruits and many other foods are prohibited for patients suffering from white disease.

Actual facts:

1) Skin diseases or skin disorders are more than two thousand types.

2) Many skin diseases can be successfully cured.

3) Not all skin problems are related to any system within the body. However, it is true that some skin problems are manifestations of internal diseases. But whatever happens on the skin does not always have to originate from inside the body.

4) Of all the types of skin diseases, a very small part of them i.e. maximum 5 percent of the diseases are contagious, the rest are not.

5) Patients suffering from white disease must not be prohibited from consuming milk; Fifty years ago, sour foods were thought to aggravate white disease, but it has long been proven that sour foods actually help to cure the disease.
