Immunodermatology and Autoimmune Skin Diseases

Immunodermatology explores the intersection of dermatology and immunology, focusing on skin diseases driven by immune system dysfunction. Autoimmune skin diseases, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and lupus erythematous, arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. These conditions  result in inflammation, rash, and discomfort. Research in immunodermatology aims to understand the underlying mechanisms and develop targeted therapies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Advances in this field are crucial for offering personalized treatment options and enhancing patient outcomes in autoimmune skin diseases.
