The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of the body. Though seldom life threatening, skin disorders can be uncomfortable and may cause chronic disabilities. In addition, because the skin is so visible, skin disorders can lead to psychological stress.

There are many disorders of the skin that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. Listed in the navigation in the blue box on the left side of this page are some of the conditions, for which we have provided a brief overview.

If you cannot find the condition in which you are interested, please visit the Online Resources page in this web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.
