Moles, rashes, hives, and eczema are just a few of the more than 3,000 skin disorders that affect people every day. Changes in color or texture can result from inflammation, infection, or allergic reactions anywhere on the body. Some skin conditions can be minor, temporary and easily treated—while can be very serious, and even deadly. Chronic skin conditions typically aren’t curable, but they can be managed using drugs and by paying close attention to your lifestyle. Bacterial skin infections include Impetigo, Erysipelus, Cellulitis. Fungal skin infections may present as either a superficial or deep infection of the skin, hair, and nails. Parasitic infestations, stings, and bites in humans are caused by several groups of organisms belonging to the phyla like Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Cyanobacteria, Echinodermata, Nemathelminthes, Platyhelminthes, and Protozoa. Virus-related cutaneous conditions are caused by two main groups of viruses-DNA and RNA types-both of which are obligatory intracellular parasites.
