Skin Diseases Caused By Immune Problems and Viruses

Our immune system is supposed to help us stay healthy, fight off infections, and protect us against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. But sometimes our immune systems turn against us and can cause many problems, some of those involving the skin. Your immune system could be attacking other parts of your body, and causing diseases and other skin conditions that may require a dermatologist visit. There are two types of inflammatory skin disorders: acute and chronic. While acute inflammation will only cause problems for a few weeks, chronic inflammation is caused by the immune cells creating an inflammatory response in the skin. Inflammatory skin disorders includes many different skin issues, and some of those are caused by the immune system attacking the body. Some of these include:
