Skin Inflammation

Skin inflammation occurs when the skin reacts to injury, irritation, or infection. It’s the body's natural response to protect and heal itself. Signs of inflammation include redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the affected area. Common causes can be allergies, infections, or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. While inflammation is a necessary part of healing, chronic inflammation can lead to more serious skin issues. Treatment often involves identifying the underlying cause, reducing exposure to irritants, and using medications like anti-inflammatories or corticosteroids to relieve symptoms and promote healing.
