Problems with dermis
Skin ailments are conditions affecting the skin—rashes, infections, irritations, and diseases ranging from minor to severe.
The phrase is a catch-all for problems like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and dermatitis: The dermatologist specializes in chronic skin ailments.
Ailment suggests something bothersome but not necessarily serious, making the term common in advertising for creams and treatments.
