Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The skin is the body‘s largest organ. It protects us against our environment and keeps us—literally—in shape. Without the particular structure of the very thin outer layer of our epidermis, the horny layer or stratum corneum, we would not be able to live outside water. The skin is also a mirror of our own internal world and is often claimed to reflect our soul. Blushing and stress-induced sweating are classical examples of the latter; paleness, exaggerated pigmentation, icterus, and many infections are examples of the former. These phenomena may give a first hint towards an internal disease that had hitherto not been recognized.
Not only is the skin the most frequent site for benign and malignant tumours, it may also signal the presence of an internal neoplasm when developing a paraneoplastic dermatosis. On the other hand, a genuine skin dermatosis may have a serious impact on many internal organs, as is evidenced by the so-called metabolic syndrome observed more and more frequently in psoriasis. The skin is probably the most frequent organ to be affected by allergic reactions to endogenous and exogenous allergens, and allergies are increasing in prevalence and severity.
This Special Issue welcomes both original and review scientific articles relating to the diagnosis and treatment of innumerable conditions, from cosmetic to life-threatening, that are able to interfere with the integrity of our skin.
