Today I'm going to talk about skin diseases and dermatitis.

Dermatitis comes from the word derm, which means skin,itis, inflammation of.

There are many, many different types of dermatitis, and I just want to share there's a common denominator with every single one of these conditions.

But here's the thing you have the skin inflammatory condition.

There's redness, there's itching,

might be blisters, there might be flakiness,

each one has its own scientific name,

but in this video I'm going to make this whole topic extremely simple and I think it could be very useful for anyone who has any type of skin problems.

I mean you have contact dermatitis. Contact means you come in contact with it and you get some itchiness or some

rash and then you have something called atopic dermatitis then you have something

that's called sabbaraic dermatitis and the derivation comes from a word that means discharge or flowing and you have

many different types of dermatitis like in planis in Pitigo candida dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema.

So you have all these very scientific sounding descriptions of various symptoms that revolve

around your skin. But basically when it boils down the skin

problems you either have some type of reaction to something like an allergy

reaction or you have some type of immune reaction that's reacting to bacteria, a virus, a fungus, etc.

Many of the symptoms from skin conditions are really coming from our own

immune system that is reacting to something.

So you can consider a lot of these conditions as an over-reactive immune system.

So what's the most common treatment? Steroids, topical or oral. It

suppresses the immune system and then of course the next most common treatment is

an antibiotic.
