The origin of psoriasis is still unknown, however, traumas, infections, stress, unhealthy diet, climate changes, alcohol consumption and medications administration can cause psoriasis.

Acne is one of the most common skin diseases which manifests in inflammation of oil glands on the face, back, or chest. The most common symptoms of acne are oily skin shine and peeling of the skin that leads to pimples, often with pus. People with acne should visit a dermatologist as soon as possible to determine the proper treatment by finding the cause of the disease. One of the most successful drugs in treatment of acne is Accutane produced by Hoffman-LaRoche, a retinoid agent derived from vitamin A.
