Your skin isn’t just there to protect you — it’s your body’s largest organ and often the first to show signs when something’s not right inside. When your skin starts to itch, flake, or change color, it could be your body’s way of warning you about an underlying issue that needs attention.

One of the most common — yet often ignored — skin conditions is dermatitis. This problem affects millions of people worldwide and can appear as redness, dryness, itching, or scaly patches. While many dismiss it as simple irritation or an allergy, dermatologists warn that it could indicate something deeper, such as immune imbalance, chronic inflammation, or allergic reactions.
