About the disease & condition

Cutaneous autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to inflammation, rashes, blisters, or skin damage. These conditions may occur on their own or as part of a systemic autoimmune disorder. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical management are essential to control symptoms, prevent skin damage, and reduce the risk of internal organ involvement.

Red, scaly, or blistering skin rashes
Persistent or recurring skin lesions
Pain, itching, or burning sensations
Hair loss or nail changes in some individuals

Known causes

Underlying autoimmune conditions such as lupus, pemphigus, or scleroderma
Genetic predisposition
Environmental triggers including sunlight, infections, or medications
Hormonal or immune system imbalances

Care

Detailed clinical examination by a dermatologist
Skin biopsy for definitive diagnosis
Blood tests to detect autoimmune markers
Treatment with immunosuppressive medications or corticosteroids
Regular follow-up and monitoring to manage disease activity
