Skin Disorders - Prognosis



Contact dermatitis can be controlled in most cases if the agent that causes the reactions is avoided or eliminated. Future exposure to the agent is likely to cause a reoccurrence of the condition.

The symptoms of psoriasis can often be treated successfully. However, the disease can not be cured and may become worse over time. Patients with the most severe forms of the disorder may require counseling as well as medical advice. The condition can become very disfiguring and emotionally upsetting for the patient.

Vitiligo may become stable or slowly grow worse over time.
