Infected piercings
An infected piercing occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, enter the pierced area, leading to inflammation, pain, redness, and discharge. Infected piercings can occur in any part of the body where piercing has been performed, including the ears, nose, eyebrows, lips, tongue, belly button, nipples, or genitalia. Prompt recognition and treatment of an infected piercing are essential to prevent complications and promote healing.
Impotence

Impetigo
Impetigo is a common and highly contagious bacterial skin infection characterized by the formation of small, fluid-filled blisters or sores that rupture and develop into yellowish-brown crusts. It is primarily caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes and commonly affects infants, young children, and individuals with compromised skin integrity or weakened immune systems.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and irreversible lung disease characterized by the scarring (fibrosis) and stiffening of lung tissue. The exact cause of IPF is unknown, hence the term "idiopathic," but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and abnormal wound healing processes in the lungs. IPF primarily affects the interstitial tissue of the lungs, leading to impaired gas exchange and respiratory function.
Ichthyosis

Ichthyosis is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly, and thickened skin. The term "ichthyosis" is derived from the Greek word "ichthys," meaning fish, due to the resemblance of affected skin to fish scales. Ichthyosis can manifest in various forms, ranging from mild to severe, and can affect individuals of all ages and ethnicities.

Types of Ichthyosis
