Glossary Skin Thickening

process where skin becomes thicker due to chronic irritation

Skin thickening, also known as lichenification, refers to the process where the skin becomes thicker and leathery due to chronic inflammation or repeated irritation. This condition often results from persistent scratching or rubbing, leading to an exaggerated skin cell production and a more pronounced skin texture. It is commonly seen in conditions like eczema or chronic dermatitis.
