Related: Why do people look at me sometimes and make remarks that I should sleep, or that I look ill?
So I contract a disease, and people are telling me I look sick, but I don’t know what disease I have or how it affects me. I don’t see it anywhere under ‘General Stats’.
How can I tell what disease I’ve contracted?
Answer
Basically, what you can do is go under the main menu, select the magic tab and click Active Effects. If you currently have a disease, the effects will show up here in red (connoting a negative effect). Here are the diseases that you can contract in Skyrim as per the Elder Scrolls Wiki:
-
Ataxia: Lockpicking & Pickpocket become 25% harder. This disease is contracted from traps and Skeevers.

Black Heart Blight (Dragonborn DLC only): Drains 10 points from carry weight.
