 Who
Suffers From Inflammatory Skin Diseases?
Inflammatory skin diseases affect men, women, and children of all ages
and races. These diseases can be very distressing, causing great discomfort,
emotional stress and feelings of hopelessness. Inflammatory skin diseases
are often disfiguring. Patients with skin disease often shy away from
meaningful social relationships.
Inflammatory skin disease is a broad category that includes many conditions,
ranging in severity from mild itching to serious medical health complications.
 These
conditions include:
- Eczema — the itch that never goes away
- Acne — overwhelming, especially among teenagers
- Rosacea — chronic skin disorder primarily affecting
the central face
- Many others including psoriasis, contact
dermatitis, even poison ivy
We urge increased funding for skin disease research, which would provide
improved quality of life for millions of people who suffer from skin disease.
