- Atherosclerosis is considered to be a heart problem but it can affect arteries of any part of the body.
- It is also called arteriosclerosis or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

- Healthy lifestyle habits can help in preventing the disease.
CAUSES
- The blood vessels are lined by a layer called endothelium. When endothelium starts getting damaged, then it leads to atherosclerosis.
- Due to high cholesterol level in blood, it starts getting deposited in the inside of the wall.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which whiteheads, blackheads and pimples occur on the face, shoulders, back , chest, neck and upper arms. They occur when the hair follicles gets plugged with oil and dead skin cells.
Acne commonly occurs during puberty. During puberty, sebaceous glands get activated leading to more oil production. The glands are stimulated by androgens in both males and females. Sebum gets clogged in the pores causing eruptions. Due to collection of oil and dead cells, bacteria grows and inflammation occurs causing swelling, redness, pain and heat.

Eczema is a non-contagious disease. The exact cause of its occurrence is not known but it is believed to be caused by genetic and environmental factors (smoke, pollen, perfumes, etc.).
Some foods like dairy products, nuts, etc. can trigger eczema.
Eczema is a chronic disease. It can, however, get better or worsens over time. It may be accompanied by hay fever or asthma.
There has been found no cure of eczema but with treatment and self-care measures it can be prevented.
