ABOUT SKIN DISEASES

Do you take your skin for granted? Most of us do. Whatever daily routine we follow, usually nothing happens to our skin. But for many people, skin infection is a part of life, which adds to their worries. Skin disease has not only to impact on the skin; it decreases persons’ self-confidence which leads to depression. Just like any other disorder, skin disease has its own severity, so it’s the time to take it seriously.
