Dermatosis

Features

Dermatoses are chronic eczema, i.e. forced inflammation of the upper layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis). There are many different types of dermatoses, which are usually reddened and can be extremely itchy. The formation of weeping blisters is also characteristic.

If eczema persists over a longer period of time, the skin can dry out severely and form scales. The skin altered by the dermatosis loses its barrier function, which results in increased water loss. The skin becomes brittle and cracked.
