Immunodermatology

Immunodermatology is a branch of dermatology that focuses on skin disorders caused by the immune system. Conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and certain rashes occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin or reacts inappropriately. This field combines knowledge of dermatology, immunology, and pathology to diagnose and treat these disorders effectively. Doctors in this area may use specialized tests to understand how the immune system affects the skin and can recommend treatments that help manage symptoms and restore skin health.
