chronic skin condition

Ongoing skin ailment

A chronic skin condition is a persistent dermatological disorder that lasts for an extended period, often months or years, and typically cannot be cured but only managed.

Common examples include eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne.

These conditions may flare up periodically and then subside, requiring ongoing treatment to control symptoms like itching, redness, scaling, or inflammation.

She's dealt with this chronic skin condition since childhood.
