Other epidermal thickening - what does this mean
Other epidermal thickening is a condition in which the outer layer of skin, known as the epidermis, becomes thicker than normal. this can occur due to a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or psoriasis. in some cases, the thickening may be localized to a specific area, while in others it may affect the entire body. treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include topical creams, medications, or laser therapy.
What happens during the disease - other epidermal thickening
Other epidermal thickening is a condition that results from an increase in the number and size of keratinocytes in the epidermis. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as inflammation, irritation, or infection. the increased keratinocytes lead to a thickening of the epidermis, which can result in dryness, itching, and flaking of the skin. treatment for this condition may include topical steroids, moisturizers, and antibiotics.
