Psoriasis
Plaque psoriasis is a skin disease that affects about one million Canadians. It comes in several forms, but plaque psoriasis is the most common. Plaques are raised red patches covered with a whitish buildup of dead skins cells called scale. They usually show up on your elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but you can have them anywhere. Plaques often itch or hurt.

Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema

Acne Scarring
A boxcar scar is a type of acne scar that appears as a round or oval depression or crater in your skin. Some boxcar scars can look red or dark brown, but others are the same color as the skin around them. They typically have sharp vertical edges and are wider. Boxcar scars are atrophic, a term that means the skin didn’t return to its previous condition after healing.
