Quantas Doenças de Pele Auto-Imune Existem?

There are various skin disorders like eczema, psoríase, and lichen sclerosus. Additionally there are auto-immune ailments including alopecia areata, vitiligo, lichen planus and mycosis fungoides. For better understanding the characteristics of the skin diseases please read forward.

Vamos começar.

• Eczema that is a kind of dermatitis or inflamação of the outer layer of skin. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering cracking, oozing or bleeding.
• A psoríase é uma doença auto imune que aparece na pele. Acontece quando o sistema imunológico confunde os tecidos cutâneos com um patógeno e envia sinais defeituosos que aceleram o ciclo de crescimento das células cutâneas. A psoríase não é contagiosa, mas tem sido associada a um risco acrescido de AVC.
• Lichen Sclerosus (LS) também chamado "Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus" é um distúrbio de causa desconhecida que leva a manchas brancas na pele, que podem levar a cicatrizes na e sobre a pele genital.
• Alopecia Areata is a condition wherein it includes the hair loss in one or more round spots on the scalp. Typical first signs of alopecia areata are little bald spots. The underlying skin is unscarred and seems superficially normal. These stains can take many shapes, but are usually round or oblong. Alopecia areata most often affects the scalp and beard, but may occur on any hair-bearing portion of the body. With this skin condition it’s common that skin regions can display calvície and re-growth at precisely the identical time. The disease may go into remission for a time, or indefinitely.
• Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes depigmentation of segments of skin. It normally occurs when melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation, die or can’t work properly. The cause of vitiligo remains unknown, but research indicates it could be a result of auto immune, genetic, cognitive stress, viral and circulatory causes.
• Lichen Planus é um distúrbio mucocutâneo crônico que pode afetar a pele, a língua e a mucosa oral. Esta doença apresenta-se na forma de pápulas, lesões ou erupções cutâneas, mas o líquen plano não envolve necessariamente líquenes, o fungo ou simbiontes de algas que muitas vezes crescem nos troncos das árvores. O comumente refere-se ao aspecto seco e ondulado, "semelhante ao líquen" da pele afetada e também está associado a medicamentos e doenças específicas, mas a patologia subjacente é até agora desconhecida.
• Mycosis fungoides also referred to as Alibert-Bazin syndrome or granuloma fungoides, is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell linfoma. It generally affects the skin, but may progress internally over time. The disease, however, isn’t a fungal infecção but instead a sort of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It was so named because Alibert explained the skin tumors of a serious case as with a cogumelo-...com um ar parecido.
