| | |
| In [[medicine]], a '''dermatosis''' is a generic term for disease of the skin. The plural is '''dermatoses'''. It should be distinguished from [[dermatitis]], which is inflammation of the skin (the two terms are related but not identical). Dermotoses covers all skin diseases, many of which are not contagious. Dermatitis is a description of symptoms (inflammation) of some dermatoses.

| Many systemic diseases express symptoms through the skin such as measles, and rubella, but these are not categorised as dermatoses.
| |
| | |
| Skin diseases, or dermatoses, include, [[skin cancer]], [[eczema]], [[psoriasis]], [[acne]], [[impetigo]], [[scabies]], [[sunburn]], [[warts]], [[fifth disease]](also called ''erythema infectiosum'' or "slapped face disease"), [[tinea]], [[herpes]], [[ulcers]], and [[pruritis]]. | |
| | |
| Some skin disorders are caused by absorption of material through the skin. Failure to use proper skin protection (gloves, aprons, overalls etc.) can result in irritation or even poisoning.
