AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE
When your body’s natural defense system attacks healthy cells in your body, you are suffering from an autoimmune disorder. Normally, the immune system reacts to viruses, bacteria or foreign harmful substances that invade the body. An autoimmune disease causes the body’s immune response to destroy healthy body tissue by mistake or to react to healthy tissue it would normally ignore.
There are several common autoimmune diseases that affect the skin. These include vitiligo, scleroderma, lupus, psoriasis and vasculitis.
LUPUS
lupus is a serious autoimmune disease. When the disease is most active it can affect the whole body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels and brain.
SCLERODERMA
Thick areas of skin with a smooth shiny appearance are a defining feature of scleroderma. This is a group of connective tissue disorders that cause a thickening and hardening of the skin (a process known as fibrosis). Blood vessels can also become damaged and the body is unable to repair them. Scleroderma usually starts with a few dry patches of skin on the hands or face that then become thicker and harder. These patches then spread to other areas of the skin.
VASCULITIS
As the name suggests, vasculitis is a serious condition involving inflammation of the blood vessels when the body’s immune system attacks them. Inflammation can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic), and in severe cases blood flow can be restricted to such an extent that organ and tissue damage occurs.
VITILIGO
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which your skin loses melanin, causing white patches to appear that slowly enlarge over time. These symptoms affect men and women alike, and causes may be attributed to emotional stress, illness or skin trauma such as sunburn. Vitiligo can appear from birth but half of all vitiligo cases develop in children and young adults between the ages of 10 and 30 years.
