Mucinosis of skin - what does this mean
Mucinosis of the skin is a rare skin disorder in which the skin becomes thickened and filled with mucus-like material. it is caused by an overproduction of glycosaminoglycans, which are proteins that are normally found in the skin. the overproduction of these proteins causes the skin to become thickened and filled with mucus-like material, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disorder.
What happens during the disease - mucinosis of skin
Mucinosis of skin is a rare condition caused by an excessive accumulation of mucin in the dermis. it is thought to be caused by an abnormal accumulation of mucin, which is a glycoprotein found in the skin, due to a defect in the metabolism of glycoproteins. this accumulation of mucin leads to a thickening of the skin and the formation of papules and plaques. it is also associated with an increased risk of developing skin infections and other skin conditions.
