Did you know your skin is your body’s biggest organ? One tiny inch of skin has about 19 million cells. It plays a vital role in keeping you healthy. Your scalp is part of your skin too. It covers your skull, helps your hair grow, and even helps you make facial expressions.

MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

Some skin conditions are caused by problems with the immune system

48px
Typically, your immune system protects you from illness. With an autoimmune condition, it gets confused and attacks healthy parts of your body, sometimes your skin. This can lead to rashes, hair loss, or other skin issues.

A clear diagnosis leads

to the right care

Skin conditions can be difficult to diagnose and look different across skin tones and parts of the body.

There are things you can do to help reach an accurate diagnosis:

  • Take photos during a flare up
  • Document your symptoms
  • Make note of environmental changes/potential causes of flare ups
