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

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.

Visit a skin specialist if you notice:

• Skin issues lasting over 2 weeks

• Over-the-counter creams not working

• Itching, swelling, or bleeding
