Cutaneous autosensitization - what does this mean
Cutaneous autosensitization is a rare, idiopathic disorder in which the skin develops an allergic reaction to its own proteins. it is caused by an abnormal immune response to the skin's own proteins, resulting in the formation of antibodies that then cause inflammation and itching on the skin.
What happens during the disease - cutaneous autosensitization
Cutaneous autosensitization is a rare skin disorder that is caused by repeated contact with a triggering agent, such as a chemical or other irritant. this repeated exposure leads to sensitization of the skin, where it becomes more susceptible to further irritation. as a result, the skin reacts to even small amounts of the triggering agent, and can cause inflammation, itching, and burning. in some cases, it can also lead to the formation of blisters or ulcers.
