Many skin disorders appear for different reasons. This is a list of some of the most common skin disorders and their causes.

One of the most common skin disorders is acne. There are two types of acne, noninflammatory and inflammatory. It usually looks like small pimples on your skin, and can be caused by many reasons. Some of these are: bacteria, dead skin cells, and ingrown hair. Around 17 million Americans have this disorder, making it one of the most common ones.

Hives is a very annoying skin disorder that consists of itchy raised welts, which are irregularly shaped and go away on their own after a while. They aren't serious and are typically caused by an allergic reaction.

Rosacea is a chronic (long-lasting) skin disease that affects more than 16 million Americans. This diseases' cause is still unknown, but it can be treated to minimize the conditions. This diseases' symptom is small red bumps on the victim's face during flare-ups.
