Skin, Hair & Nails

Skin, hair and nails help protect the body. Common skin problems like itching and skin rash may be signs of dry skin or the result of poison ivy or another outside irritant that can affect the skin (poison oak or poison sumac). Other skin concerns include red skin, dry flaky skin and heat rash. Most common skin problems can be treated with lotions or medications. Skin conditions may be a sign of other, body-wide illnesses.
