What are Autoimmune Skin Diseases?

Autoimmune Skin Diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to inflammation, rashes, blisters, or pigmentation changes. These conditions are often chronic and may require ongoing medical management.

Common Autoimmune Skin Diseases

  • Vitiligo – White patches due to loss of skin pigment.

  • Psoriasis – Thick, scaly patches caused by rapid skin cell turnover.

  • Lichen Planus – Itchy, purple bumps on the skin or inside the mouth.

  • Lupus Erythematosus – Red or scaly rash, often on the face or scalp.

  • Pemphigus Vulgaris – Painful blisters on the skin or mucous membranes.

  • Alopecia Areata – Patchy hair loss due to immune attack on hair follicles.

  • Scleroderma – Thickening and tightening of the skin and connective tissue.
