Genetic Skin Disorders
Genetic skin disorders are conditions caused by mutations in genes that affect the skin's structure and function. These disorders can lead to various symptoms, including rashes, blisters, and changes in skin color. Examples include eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis, each with unique characteristics and inheritance patterns.
These disorders can be inherited from parents or occur spontaneously due to new genetic mutations. Diagnosis often involves a physical examination and genetic testing. Treatment options vary and may include topical medications, systemic therapies, or lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
