Q82: Other congenital malformations of skin

The group of conditions referred to as 'Other Congenital Malformations of Skin' encompasses a variety of skin abnormalities present from birth. Commonly, these conditions emerge due to genetic anomalies or environmental influences during fetal development. The disorders within this category can manifest in numerous ways, including abnormal coloration, texture, or thickness of the skin, skin tags, or birthmarks. Some individuals may experience additional symptoms like itching, pain, or sensitivity based on the specific nature of their condition. Disease progression depends on the specific disorder, with some conditions remaining stable, while others may change or worsen over time. These disorders primarily affect the integumentary system, which includes the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. Despite the diverse manifestations, all these conditions are related by their congenital origin, meaning they are present at birth, whether they become visible immediately or emerge over time.
