    excessive fibrous tissue buildup in skin causing thickening

    Skin fibrosis, also known as dermal fibrosis, is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of fibrous connective tissue in the skin. This can result from chronic inflammation, injury, or diseases such as scleroderma. The overproduction of collagen leads to thickening, hardening, and scarring of the skin, which can impair its normal function and elasticity.
