Dermatological disorders
An Introduction to Dermatological disorders
Dermatological disorders, also known as skin disorders or skin conditions, encompass a wide range of medical conditions that affect the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. These disorders can vary widely in terms of their causes, symptoms, severity and treatments. Some common dermatological disorders include acne, atopic dermatitis (i.e. eczema), psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, vitiligo, fungal infections, skin cancer, hair loss, excessive sweating and ichthyosis. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for managing these conditions and promoting skin health. The treatment of many of these conditions may require a multidisciplinary approach, particularly in addressing the psychological aspects of some of these conditions.
