What are common skin conditions among kids and teens?
|

 Acne
By mid-teens, more than 40% of kids have acne or scars from acne that need to be treated by a dermatologist according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Eczema
According to the National Eczema Association, as many as 10% of all infants have some form of eczema. While there is no cure for eczema, about half of children who suffer from it outgrow it by the time they become an adult. Lice
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 6 to 12 million children between 3 and 12 years of age get head lice each year. Lice spread from head-to-head contact with someone who has lice. Commonly, lice are spread through schools and sports teams. Warts
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, warts are benign (non-cancerous) skin growths that appear when a virus infects the top layer of the skin. Children and teens are more prone to getting a wart virus because it is quite easy to catch a virus when you have a cut or scrape on your skin. Sunburn
Too much exposure from ultraviolet rays can cause long-lasting damage to the skin. This damage increases a person's risk of getting skin cancer. In fact, sustaining five or more sunburns in youth increases lifetime melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) risk by 80%, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. |
