Common Skin Conditions

痤瘡

Acne is a skin condition caused by hair follicles getting clogged with oil and dead skin cells.

This clogging leads to the hallmark formations of acne (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and nodules).

蕁麻疹

蕁麻疹是皮膚表面發癢的傷痕,通常由過敏反應引起。

大多數蕁麻疹會自行消失,但偶爾也會成爲慢性病幷導致更嚴重的問題。

黃褐斑

黃褐斑是一種會導致皮膚出現深色斑塊的疾病,通常出現在臉上。

這是皮膚細胞過度産生斑塊狀色素(黑色素)的結果。

癬菌病

癬菌病實際上不是由蠕蟲引起的。它由真菌引起,真菌會産生看起來像環狀蠕蟲的病變。

它們通常是紅色、發癢和鱗片狀的斑塊,也可能發展成水泡。

鱗狀細胞癌

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a type of cancer found in the middle layers of the skin (squamous layers).

This happens when cells begin dividing uncontrollably, creating tumors and has the ability to spread to other organs.

SCC 可以出現在身體的任何部位,但最常見于被陽光照射的皮膚。如果不及時治療,它可能會危及生命。 

基底細胞癌

基底細胞癌 (BCC) 是最常見的皮膚癌類型,占所有皮膚癌的 75% 至 80%。

基底細胞位于表皮下部,會不斷分裂形成新細胞,取代在皮膚表層脫落的舊的鱗狀細胞。

膿疱瘡

膿疱瘡是一種傳染性細菌感染,可影響任何人,尤其是 2-5 歲的兒童。

它們看起來像紅色的潰瘍,會破裂幷生成黃色的外殼。

Moles (melanocytic naevi) are clustered melanocytes (the cells that produce the dark pigment, melanin).

They can be found anywhere on the skin and are typicaly harmless.

但是,有些可能會導致皮膚癌。所以,一定要檢查任何可疑的痣,因爲它們會造成不必要的麻煩。

紅斑痤瘡

紅斑痤瘡是一種慢性皮膚病,會導致面部持續潮紅和紅斑。

潰瘍

皮膚潰瘍是由輕傷、長時間受壓或血液循環不良引起的開放性傷口。

The skin typically looks red and inflamed at first but as it worsens, the wound can deepen and ooze blood or clear fluids

白癜風

白癜風是一種皮膚病,其特徵是皮膚顔色缺失引致的白色光滑的皮膚斑塊。

這是皮膚細胞失去色素沉著的結果,會影響身體的任何部位。

濕疹

濕疹(特應性皮炎)是一種慢性皮膚病,會導致皮膚發紅、發癢、乾燥。它通常始發于童年期,但可以在任何年齡段開始。

這是一種終身疾病,周期性復發,有時患者很少出現症狀。

黑色素瘤

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer and occurs when melanocytes (cells that synthesize pigment which determines skin colour) grow out of control and change to abnormal cancerous cells. 

如果黑色素瘤得不到治療,异常癌細胞就會擴散到其他器官。

銀屑病

銀屑病是一種皮膚病,其特徵是紅色(或紫色)、乾燥、鱗片狀的皮膚斑塊,可出現于身體的任何部位。

大多數銀屑病患者都經歷過周期復發,在長時間緩和期後,由于觸發因素而突然發作。

皮膚癌

There are several types of skin cancers, most notable being Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma.

Each can be very detritmental to a person’s wellbeing as they can lead to pain, bleeding, scarring, and even death.

常見問題

How does a virtual clinic work?

Patients can connect with healthcare professionals from the comfort of their own homes using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The healthcare provider can conduct assessments, provide advice, and even prescribe medications when necessary.

Think of it as doing a Facetime or Zoom with your doctor, but on a platform that meets government medical standards when it comes to security and privacy.

Is virtual healthcare as effective as in-person visits?

Yes, by American Medical Association (AMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) it has been proven that for many common conditions, virtual consultations are as effective as in-person visits.

How do I connect with a doctor online?

You’ll need a device with a camera and microphone, along with a stable internet connection.

Can I choose a doctor on my own?

No, we assign doctors based on individual needs to ensure the best care. While you can’t choose a specific doctor, rest assured you’ll be in capable hands.

Do I need a referral?

No. With GetSkinHelp you can connect directly to a licensed doctor who will help with your skin condition.

Is my personal information secure in a virtual clinic?

Yes! Whether it be email, prescriptions, or diagnoses, we hold ourselves to the same government standards as any “brick & mortar” medical clinic and are compliant with all Ontario regulations when it comes to the privacy and security of our patient’s digital information.
