Inflammatory Dermatopathology

Inflammatory dermatopathology is the study of skin diseases caused by inflammation. When the skin reacts to irritants, infections, or autoimmune issues, it can become red, swollen, and itchy. Dermatopathologists examine skin biopsies under a microscope to identify the type of inflammation and its cause. Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis fall under this category. Understanding these inflammatory processes helps in diagnosing and treating skin disorders effectively, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve skin health.
