Autoimmune skin diseases are disorders resulting from a dysfunction of the immune system that causes the body to attack its own skin tissue. The most prominent of these are psoriasis, vitiligo, lupus erythematosus, alopecia, and autoimmune eczema. Treatment methods vary depending on the condition and include topical medications, systemic treatments (such as cortisone and immunosuppressants), and phototherapy or biological therapy.
Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and control disease activity, while improving the appearance of the skin and the patient’s quality of life. This treatment must be performed under the supervision of a specialist physician to ensure safety and effectiveness.
