Skin disorders differ in terms of indicators and severity. They are either long or short term, accompanied with discomfort or painless. Some may arise due to environmental changes while others may be hereditary. In fact, others may leave a patient bedridden. This paper will look into the most common dermatological disorders associated with eczemas and how to distinguish them from one another for the purpose of accurate treatment.

Atopic dermatitis symptoms differ from one individual to another. Moreover, there is no known cure for the skin disorder. However, self-care can reduce itching and hinder the spread of the disease. For example, a patient may evade harsh soaps and capitalize on moisturizing skin on a daily basis and utilization of medical lotions (Lowell et.al, 2001). A 2-year research revealed that 36.5% people under primary care had an illness related to eczemas. Out of the 208 patients suffering from a skin disease, an estimated 58.7% were not sure of the name and specific details of the infection.

There are varieties of proposals suggested by physicians under the primary care. For instance 37.5% of the individuals visiting a dermatologist test positive for eczema related complications (Pedrosa, Lisboa, & Rodrigues, 2014). Hence, primary care physicians and dermatologists may diagnose them same number of people suffering from skin disorders.

 Malassezia yeast cause cutaneous diseases such as dermatitis and seborrheic. The spreading methodology of the yeast is still a mystery. There are many hypothesis that suggest the pathogenic mannerism of the yeast although there is no confirmation. In addition, it is hard to culture the yeast in a laboratory (Pedrosa, Lisboa, & Rodrigues, 2014). Thus, there are no microbial measures against the yeast. In short, the eczema causes inflammation of the infected skin which in turn crack the skin open, leaving it with blisters.
