Inflammation is extraordinarily common. It underlies hundreds of diseases, from asthma to arthritis (in fact, any disease that ends in "-itis"). It often occurs inside the body (not just on the skin), so you could have inflammation right now and not know it.

Sure, but shouldn't you try to diagnose the problem, instead of medicating yourself daily for phantom diseases you probably don't have?
