Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, viewing them as foreign invaders. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and type 1 diabetes are examples of the immune system working against the body it is meant to protect. This misdirected defense can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and organ damage. Understanding the signs of autoimmune disorders is critical for early diagnosis and management. It highlights the delicate balance the immune system must maintain to protect the body without causing harm to its own tissues.

The skin is often a visible indicator of internal immune system activity. Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and hives can be signs that your immune system is working overtime. These skin issues result from inflammatory responses that manifest externally, often causing discomfort and affecting self-esteem. The skin acts as a barrier and a reflection of internal health, making it a crucial area to monitor for signs of immune overactivity. Addressing skin issues can provide insights into the overall state of the immune system and help guide appropriate interventions.
