- Seborrheic dermatitis: A common condition that causes red, itchy and flaky skin particularly on the scalp and face.
- Nummular dermatitis: This condition causes round, coin-shaped patches of irritated skin on the arms and legs.
- Stasis dermatitis: This typically occurs on the legs and is associated with poor circulation and swelling.
