Serious Disorders That Could Be More Than Acne

Psoriasis

In some cases, acne can occur in addition to psoriasis, which is a skin condition that develops when an accumulation of dead skin cells pile up on each other to form a collection of dry, itchy scales. When acne pimples start showing signs of piling up on top of each other and becoming scaly, it might be a sign of psoriasis. These scales may appear red or white and do not usually get infected as acne does. The rash may also spread to the nails or joints, unlike acne. If acne and psoriasis coincide, it is crucial for affected individuals to obtain treatment for both, ideally through recommendations from their primary doctor or a dermatologist, or they run the risk of not being successful eliminating both and could aggravate one.
