Complex Medical Dermatology
The term medical dermatology is used to refer to skin diseases that are associated with internal diseases and also to potentially disabling or fatal skin diseases that often require systemic drug therapy.
Some examples of medical dermatology diseases include autoimmune blistering disorders (pemphigus, pemphigoid), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, widespread psoriasis, severe drug reactions (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), and skin diseases associated with connective tissue disorders (lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma and vasculitis).
