Arabic term

آفات جلدية

Arabic to English Medical Medical (general) skin diseases
I think this must be "skin diseases" but I can't find the first word in the dictionary, googling it seems to give Farsi websites, so is the first word Farsi for "diseases"?
Many thanks as always for sharing your expertise.

Yasser El Helw Jul 11, 2006:
"Disease" is a much wider concept. "Epidemic" implies wide distribution and high infectivity (not the case). "Lesion" refers to actual physical changes, not to the pathogen. My "infestation" assumes pathogen is parasitic. Choose according to your context.
Abdelmonem Samir Jul 11, 2006:
The first word آفات is 100% Arabic, mbrodie. http://www.google.com.eg/search?hl=ar&q= آفات جلدية&btnG=إبح...
Sam Berner Jul 11, 2006:
If you google both terms as a phrase, heaps of Arabic materials will pop up - you will see how variably the first term is used.

agree Abdelmonem Samir : skin diseases

agree Fuad Yahya : "Lesion" is the word typically translated as آفة. A lesion is not necessarily a disease, strictly speaking, but typically a symptom of some condition (which could be a reaction, a disease, or something else).

skin infestations

Aafat does not sound like bacterial or fungal infections, in fact it sounds like they mean parasitic infestations.
Good-luck
