Common Skin Disorders
Our skin is the largest organ in our body and serves the important functions of controlling our body temperature and protecting us from bacteria and viruses. Yet skin disorders are some of the most common human ailments among patients of all ages. Skin disorders are so prevalent, in fact, that their incidence exceeds those of obesity, hypertension, and cancer.
This edition of Physician Focus will examine some of the most common and serious types of skin diseases, what causes them, how they can be treated, and how patients can protect their skin from these conditions.\
