Skin Disease

 

What is Skin Disease?

 

Disorders or infections that affect human skin are called skin diseases. There are many reasons for this.

 

However, most diseases affecting the skin begin in the skin layers. They also help in diagnosis of various types of internal diseases. It is believed that the skin reveals a person's internal health.

 

There are considerable variations in the symptoms and severity of skin disease. It can be both painless or painful as well as being temporary or permanent. In some cases it may be situational, while in others it is also genetic. The condition of some skin disorders is very minor, and some can be life-threatening.

 

Most skin diseases are minor, while others indicate a more serious problem. Contact your doctor if you have any of these skin problems.
