Several skin diseases can be permanent. Some examples include:
- Eczema: Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is a chronic skin condition causing scaly and itchy rashes. [1, 5]
- Rosacea: This inflammatory skin disorder often causes redness, bumps, and visible blood vessels on the face. [1, 10]
- Hidradenitis suppurativa: This condition results in bumps or boils that resemble pimples and can lead to scarring. [2]
- Leprosy: If left untreated, leprosy can cause permanent damage to the skin, nerves, and other tissues. [11]
- Neurodermatitis: Persistent scratching due to neurodermatitis can lead to permanent scarring and skin discoloration. [6]
While many skin conditions can be managed and improved with treatment, these examples highlight that some can be permanent, impacting the skin's appearance and function long-term.
