L87: Transepidermal elimination disorders
Transepidermal elimination disorders are a group of skin conditions that occur when your body tries to get rid of something through the top layer of your skin, the epidermis. These conditions can appear as lumps, bumps, or rashes on the skin, often accompanied by inflammation or irritation. This group of disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, such as infections, immune responses, genetic factors, or reactions to medicines. They can sometimes also be connected to underlying diseases of the organs or systems in the body. Symptoms of transepidermal elimination disorders can be uncomfortable and may vary depending on the underlying cause and the specific condition. Over time, these disorders may affect the appearance or texture of the skin. To understand and manage these conditions effectively, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
