Genetic Skin Disorders

Genetic skin disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in a person's genes that affect the skin's structure and function. These disorders can lead to various issues, such as unusual rashes, blisters, or pigmentation changes. Examples include eczema, psoriasis, and conditions like epidermolysis bullosa, where the skin is fragile and blisters easily. Causes can range from inherited traits to mutations that occur during development. While some disorders are mild, others can be more severe, impacting quality of life. Management often involves treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve skin health.
