Rare & Complex Skin Diseases

Rare and complex skin diseases are uncommon conditions that often require specialized diagnosis, advanced investigations, and long-term treatment. These disorders may affect the skin, hair, nails, or mucous membranes and can significantly impact a person's health and quality of life.
