What are Clinical Implications of a Compromised Skin Barrier?
A compromised skin barrier can lead to various dermatological conditions. These include atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. Each of these conditions involves a disruption in the barrier function, which can exacerbate symptoms and complicate treatment. Effective management often requires restoring the barrier function through the use of emollients, barrier creams, and other therapeutic interventions.
