cutaneous diseases

Cutaneous diseases are conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. They can result from infections, allergies, genetics, or environmental factors. Common examples include eczema, which causes itchy, inflamed skin; psoriasis, characterized by thick, scaly patches; and dermatitis, an inflammation often from irritants or allergens. These diseases vary in severity and appearance, but they all impact the skin’s protective barrier and overall health. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important for managing symptoms, preventing complications, and maintaining skin health.
