Autoimmune diseases frequently have skin involvement. Although this skin involvement may range from mild to severe, most patients live with the effects of cutaneous symptoms that impact their daily lives and reduced skin integrity. When skin trauma occurs or wounds and ulcers develop, patients need a gentle adhesive to secure dressings, which can protect the skin while it heals and prevent the risk of infection.
In this WoundSource sponsored white paper we provide an overview of autoimmune disease and skin complications, symptoms of autoimmune skin conditions, and how to ensures dressings do not create more problems.
