    Glossary Dermatomyositis

    inflammatory disease causing muscle weakness and skin rash

    Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease characterized by muscle weakness and a distinctive skin rash. It involves the immune system attacking the body's own tissues, leading to symptoms such as muscle pain, fatigue, and red or purple rashes, often on the face, knuckles, and other areas. This condition can also be associated with other autoimmune disorders and may require treatments like corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs to manage symptoms.
