This reminds us that just as no two humans are alike on a cellular level, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to chronic skin conditions; what works for one person may not work for another.

Do you remember when you had acne? Maybe you still do. You probably had it for a very long time. Thus, it was considered a chronic skin condition.
Skin disorders vary greatly in symptoms and severity. They can be temporary or permanent and may be painless or painful. Some have situational causes, while others may be genetic. Some skin conditions are minor, and others can be life-threatening. While most skin disorders are minor, others can indicate a more serious issue.
Chronic skin diseases, particularly psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, have a negative impact on patient’s quality of life.
Skin diseases contributed 1.79% to the global burden of disease measured in disability-adjusted life years. It remains a major cause of disability worldwide.
Patients often experience significant psychological and social distress such as increased levels of depression and fear of stigma. Skin diseases can also impact patients’ occupational lives by causing them to miss work or be less productive.
