Skin signs and systemic disease

The skin may reflect signs of systemic diseases, useful for diagnosis, or suffer from a complication of disease or its treatment. Here are links to pages about the dermatological manifestations of non-infectious internal diseases: immune, autoimmune diseases and rheumatic diseases; genetic, metabolic, endocrine and nutritional states; internal malignancy; haematological diseases; psychiatric states; and drug eruptions.
