Atrophic disorders of skin - what does this mean

Atrophic disorders of the skin are caused by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that make up the skin's connective tissue. this decrease can be due to aging, sun exposure, or certain medical conditions, and can lead to thinning of the skin, wrinkles, and a decrease in skin elasticity.

What happens during the disease - atrophic disorders of skin

Atrophic disorders of skin are caused by a decrease in the number of skin cells, leading to thinning of the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. this decrease in cell number is caused by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin health. in addition, the decrease in cell number leads to a decrease in the amount of protective oils and lipids in the skin, making it more prone to damage from environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation.
