This is a generic description of how non-melanoma skin cancer can present, but it also fits the description of seborrheic dermatitis. Another hallmark sign of seborrheic dermatitis is that it comes and goes. It can appear virtually overnight. Actinic keratosis can also be described, generically, as rough red or pink patches or areas on the skin, particularly the nose and cheeks.
Actinic keratosis. For all practical purposes, actinic keratosis will NOT go away once it develops, even though medical literature cites that in rare instances, it can spontaneously disappear. Actinic keratosis is when the keratocyte cells of the epidermis morph from typical to atypical.
The result is the classic rough, reddish patches that you one day discover on your nose, cheek or other part of the face. Dermatologists typically make a visible diagnosis that includes feeling the rough, red patches of skin with their fingertips.
However, the reason actinic keratosis is called a precancerous lesion is because its atypical cells are more likely to ever become cancerous, than are the typical cells right next door to the rough, reddish patch. It simply identifies that an atypical cell, more than a typical cell, is more likely to ever become malignant. However, it can be removed for cosmetic reasons through laser surgery, electrocauterization, and cryosurgery.
Causes: Basal-cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. Causes include exposure to ultraviolet light, radiation therapy, long-term exposure to arsenic, and a weak immune system.
Treatments: If the cancer is small and localized, a doctor is able to remove it surgically with a simple excision or Mohs Surgery a specialized microscopy procedure developed for skin cancer. In rarer cases, treatments may be cryotherapy cold application , topical chemotherapy, laser surgery, or the prescription medication, Imiquimod. Causes: Squamous cell carcinoma is the second-most common type of skin cancer. The cause is usually too much sun exposure. Treatments: Squamous cell carcinoma is also commonly removed with excision or Mohs surgery.
Other treatments include topical medications and various radiotherapies. Treatments: Your doctor will use a biopsy to properly diagnose melanoma. A doctor will usually use surgical removal for this type of skin cancer as well. However, treatment may be more extensive depending on the number of cancerous moles present. Other treatments may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Causes: Some rashes result from insect bites including those from mosquitoes, spiders, ants, fleas, flies, and wasps.
Following the insect bite is an allergic reaction in the form of a swollen, itchy bump. However, you may need to take a trip to the emergency room or your general practitioner in the case of a more severe reaction.
A doctor will prescribe a topical cream in these cases. Causes: Cysts can occur in several parts of the body. Skin cysts also known as sebaceous epidermal cysts are sacs bump or lump under the skin which are full of sebum a fluid that is a greasy and cheese-like material.
One cause of cysts is a plugged hair follicle duct. These cysts can also result from an infected injury or hormone stimulation. Treatments: Treatments for cysts include cleaning the affected area with antibacterial soap, applying a warm washcloth for 20 to 30 minutes several times a day up to four to increase blood circulation and speed healing.
Be sure to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist if there is no change within a week, or if the cysts begin to pus.

A GP in London previously warned that kids with Omicron had presented with rashes , but it hadn't been seen as prevalent in adults until recently.
Dr David Lloyd said he had seen about 15 per cent of youngsters with confirmed Omicron cases developing spots. They also suffered with fatigue, headaches and a loss of appetite - which seems to fit with the most common variant symptoms reported so far in adults. Chilblains look similar to Covid toes - which have been a long reported symptom of people contracting other variants of Covid
