Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend and spending quality time with your family and friends. Today I want to talk about the issue of skin diseases and how this can affect you. There are far too many to list out here, but skin diseases commonly affect individuals of all genders and ages, and can be a real nuisance. Read on to find out more about how you can get the right treatment!
Taking Care of Your Skin
When thinking about the various organs in the body, you may immediately think of important ones such as the lungs, heart, kidneys and more. However, did you know that the largest organ in your body is actually your skin? Yes that’s right, your skin is considered an organ. As it is a group of cells that are related, and work together to perform specialised body functions, it meets the definition of an organ and thus considered one.
If you notice any abnormal growths or patterns forming on any area of your skin, it is best to seek treatment right away before it becomes worse or more serious. Often times, you may be able to treat it using creams or other similar products, but if things do not improve, seek treatment as soon as possible.

Seeking Treatment
Although you can search online about the symptoms that your skin is showing, the best way to confirm the skin condition that you may have is to seek treatment at a clinic. At Premier Clinic, we have several skin specialists who will be able to quickly assess and determine the skin condition you are suffering from and recommend treatment accordingly. It is also very important to seek out treatment as tests will also help to eliminate the possibility of cancer.
As soon as test results return, our doctors will then recommend appropriate treatment for your specific skin condition – this can range from using specialised cream or lotion, or even taking pills to alleviate the particular condition. Any side effects will depend on the type of treatment for your skin condition as well as your body’s reaction. For this reason, it is also of utmost importance that you follow your doctor’s advice and guidance accordingly as this will help to prevent any further complications. Our doctors will let you know how often, how much and other relevant guidelines when it comes to treatments.
There are so many types of skin conditions out there but there some that tend to commonly affect Malaysian people like eczema, psoriasis, shingles, and fungal infections. The heat and humidity of Malaysia provides a suitable climate for fungal infections to grow and thrive, whereas eczema, psoriasis and shingles can affect anyone at any time. These are all conditions that can be easily treated and cured, so if you suspect any oddities in your skin, please see a doctor to get it checked out straight away!
