Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases

Chronic inflammatory skin diseases are long-lasting conditions that cause the skin to become red, swollen, and itchy. Common examples include psoriasis and eczema. These conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin, leading to inflammation. Symptoms can vary and may include patches of dry skin, blisters, or flaky areas. While these diseases are not contagious, they can significantly impact quality of life. Treatment often involves medications, lifestyle changes, and skincare routines to manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups. Understanding triggers, such as stress or certain allergens, can also help individuals manage their condition effectively.
