Autoimmune Disease Treatment | Dermatologist Clinic Near You
Autoimmune disorders or diseases result when a patient’s own immune system is not able to differentiate between healthy tissue in the body and antigens or foreign substances that can be harmful to the body. When this condition takes place, the body’s response is to react to healthy tissue and often destroy it.
