Several disorders can affect the epidermis, impacting its structure and function:
Psoriasis: A chronic condition characterized by rapid turnover of epidermal cells, leading to thick, scaly patches. Eczema: An inflammatory condition causing red, itchy, and swollen skin, often due to hypersensitivity reactions. Skin cancer: Uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, often linked to UV exposure, affecting cells like keratinocytes or melanocytes.
