Relevance of the Topic:
According to the World Health Organization, the 21st century is recognized as the century of allergic diseases. These are currently the most common non-communicable diseases, affecting 35–40% of the world’s population. A concerning fact is the doubling of allergic disease cases over the past decade and the emergence of new, more severe forms. In our country, 2–3 years ago, only 50–60 types of allergies were diagnosed. However, thanks to modern technologies, it is now possible to identify more than 200 types of allergic reactions. Adhering to dietary hygiene rules and eliminating allergy-causing factors can significantly reduce the prevalence of allergic diseases.
Objective:
To study the significance of allergic skin diseases in daily life and their social risk factors.
Methods and Materials:
The results are based on a survey of 69 patients with skin diseases. The study utilized questionnaires, sociological, and statistical methods.
Results:
We conducted a sociological survey among 69 patients undergoing treatment at the private dermatology clinic “Mir-Med” in Andijan. Among the patients, 23.2% were diagnosed with psoriasis, 18.8% with vitiligo, 15.94% with acne, 30.43% with allergic skin diseases, and 11.5% with other skin conditions.
According to the survey results, rashes most frequently appear on the face and hands, often forcing patients to temporarily suspend work activities. Most patients diagnosed with psoriasis and vitiligo perceive skin rashes as an aesthetic defect that prevents them from feeling comfortable in society. Hereditary factors identified in the etiology of these diseases hinder young individuals from forming families. Allergic skin diseases are accompanied by itching, rashes, spots, and blisters, leading to increased nervousness.
Currently, allergic diseases affect about one-third of the global population. This fact is supported by our study, which found that 30.43% of patients were diagnosed with allergic skin diseases. The causes of allergic diseases include immune system disorders, improper diet, lack of daily routines, and, in general, neglecting the principles of a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, insufficient public awareness about the non-contagious nature of these diseases exacerbates the issue.
Conclusions:
In the Andijan region, psoriasis and vitiligo are the most commonly diagnosed skin diseases.

Once upon a time, a little girl named Momo decided to go on a journey with her favorite animals. She took a red ball, a yellow fox, a blue bird, and a black sheep, and set off to explore wonderful places.
During the journey, Momo and her friends visited many exciting spots. They played in a colorful garden filled with wildflowers, swam by a strong and beautiful river, and listened to the lovely songs of the birds. At each location, Momo and her friends learned new things: the different colors of flowers and how they grow, how clean the river water is, and how birds find their way.
Throughout the journey, Momo learned the importance of helping her friends and understanding their needs. She also discovered how cooperation and supporting one another made the adventure even more enjoyable. For instance, they learned to play together and solve problems as a team.
In the end, when Momo and her friends returned home, their hearts were filled with joy and wisdom. Momo realized that traveling is not just about seeing new places but also about learning new things, spending wonderful time with friends, and experiencing life’s valuable lessons.
Educational Significance
This tale teaches children the importance of travel and exploration, as well as friendship, teamwork, and problem-solving. Through Momo and her friends’ experiences, children can understand the value of helping each other, being empathetic, and learning new things.
Thus, travel is not only about discovering new places but also about building friendships and learning vital life lessons.

Vintage
I asked the divine rhythm to
Paint my dreamscape a little more drowsy
A Keatsian mumbling I pine for
Pine forests all around my dapple branches
The rose garden spoke a little louder
For full of grooming, a nebulous touch
The sky's limitless fantasy, a historic algorithm
Oh my godly hour I speak to my angels
For the love of vintage murmurings
A hissed purple hibiscus I care for
As the lonely hour called for the blameless rose.
