| Classification
of skin disorders can be confusing because of overlapping terminology.
The common lay term "rash" is loosely used to signify any
number of skin disorders characterized by itchy, red, irritated skin
eruptions, including dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and urticaria
(hives). Other common skin problems include acne, keratosis (hardening
of the skin), canker sores, premature aging, and dryness.
The largest organ in the human body, skin serves
as the crucial mediator between the inner body and the external
environment and reflects the status of the body's internal health.
Although surface irritants can be the source of skin problems, many
skin conditions are actually systemic in origin, and thus may be
effectively treated by correcting physiological imbalances within
the body.
The following GSDL assessments pinpoint dysfunctions
that can trigger a wide range of skin disorders. For more information
