Skin health

Your skin is important. Learn how to maintain your skin’s health, understand the symptoms of skin conditions, and know what to eat for healthy skin.

Introduction

Your skin is often one of the first things people notice about you, so it's only natural you’d want to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

While a blemish here and there is to be expected, full-blown adult acne or skin that's constantly red, scaly, itchy, or inflamed probably isn't.

To help you understand these issues, we've created a hub about skin health, with the information you need all in one place. 

Here you'll find information about the signs, symptoms, causes, and treatments available for a number of common issues, including psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, acne, and more.

Whether you have a chronic skin condition or you're just starting to notice changes, it's important to see your healthcare provider (HCP) for more insight.

During your appointment, you'll discuss symptoms, risk factors, and lifestyle habits that may be contributing to your problem, as well as the many treatment options available to help you achieve the healthiest skin possible. 

Browse these topics, then discuss them with your HCP. By working together, you can care for your skin—and feel more comfortable living in it.

Psoriasis
