Medical Conditions & Health Guides in Jordan

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts. Early dermatological treatment prevents permanent scarring.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), resulting in smooth, depigmented white patches on the skin and hair.

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune condition that accelerates the growth cycle of skin cells, causing thick, red, scaly plaques typically on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.

A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear natural lens of the eye. Most cataracts develop slowly with age, leading to blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve, often linked to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Known as the "silent thief of sight," it can cause irreversible peripheral vision loss if left untreated.

Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when tears aren’t able to provide adequate lubrication for the eyes, leading to irritation, stinging, and burning sensations. Jordan’s arid climate and screen exposure are frequent triggers.
