Top 7 Skin Problems You Should Never Ignore - According to Dermatologists

Share

Your skin is the largest organ in your body - and it’s often the first to show signs of internal or external stress. Whether it’s sudden acne, dry patches, or hair thinning, ignoring early symptoms can lead to long-term skin damage.

At Aartas Clinics, our expert dermatologists treat thousands of patients every year for common but serious conditions like:

  • Hormonal acne

  • Pigmentation

  • Hair fall

  • Fungal infections

  • Eczema

Here are 7 skin conditions you should never ignore - and how a dermatologist can help.


1.  Persistent Acne Breakouts

If your acne:

  • Doesn’t go away in 3-4 weeks

  • Leaves dark spots or scars

  • Gets worse during periods or stress
    …you likely need medical-grade treatment.


2.  Sudden Hair Fall or Thinning

Shedding more than 100 strands/day? You could be dealing with:

  • Telogen Effluvium

  • Alopecia Areata

  • PCOS or iron/B12 deficiency


3. Unexplained Pigmentation or Dark Patches

Melasma, tanning, or dull skin tone may be caused by:

  • Hormones

  • Sun exposure

  • Vitamin deficiencies


4.  Itchy, Red, or Scaly Rashes

Conditions like:

  • Eczema

  • Psoriasis

  • Fungal infections (ringworm)

These are not just cosmetic issues -they are medical conditions requiring prescription creams or antifungals.


5.  Fungal Infections (Groin, Scalp, or Feet)

Sweat + humidity = fungal paradise.

If you notice circular red rashes, itching, or peeling - you need treatment before it spreads to others.


6.  Skin Allergies or Reactions

Switching a skincare product or hair dye and developing redness or burning? It may be contact dermatitis - and may worsen without medical attention.


7.  Warts, Skin Tags, or Moles Changing Size

Never ignore:

  • Moles that change color or size

  • Warts that spread or bleed

  • Skin tags in irritation-prone areas

These may require minor surgical removal or laser therapy.


 When to See a Dermatologist?

  • Skin issues lasting over 2 weeks

  • Over-the-counter creams not working
