    GlossarySkin Side Effects

    adverse skin reactions from medications or treatments

    Skin side effects refer to adverse reactions that occur on the skin as a result of medications, treatments, or underlying health conditions. These can range from mild issues like dryness and rashes to more severe conditions such as blistering, peeling, or changes in pigmentation. For example, certain chemotherapy drugs can cause skin reactions like redness, itching, or even more serious conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Understanding these side effects is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers to manage and mitigate discomfort and potential complications.
