Dermatitis

Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash. Gottron's sign and Dermatitis are autoimmune diseases and Steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions.

Dermatomyositis

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a long-term inflammatory disorder which affects the skin and the muscles. Gottron's sign and Dermatomyositis are autoimmune diseases, Connective tissue diseases, Idiopathic diseases, Steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions and systemic connective tissue disorders.

See Gottron's sign and Dermatomyositis

Erythema

Erythema is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.

See Gottron's sign and Erythema

Granuloma annulare

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare, sometimes chronic skin condition which presents as reddish bumps on the skin arranged in a circle or ring.

See Gottron's sign and Granuloma annulare

Interphalangeal joints of the hand

The interphalangeal joints of the hand are the hinge joints between the phalanges of the fingers that provide flexion towards the palm of the hand.

Lichen planus

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease that affects the skin, nails, hair, and mucous membranes. Gottron's sign and Lichen planus are autoimmune diseases.

Lupus

Lupus, technically known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body. Gottron's sign and lupus are autoimmune diseases, Steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions and systemic connective tissue disorders.

Mucin

Mucins are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates) produced by epithelial tissues in most animals.

See Gottron's sign and Mucin

Pathognomonic

Pathognomonic (rare synonym pathognomic) is a term, often used in medicine, that means "characteristic for a particular disease".

See Gottron's sign and Pathognomonic

Polymorphous light eruption

Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) presents with itchy red small bumps on sun-exposed skin, particularly face, neck, forearms and legs.

See Gottron's sign and Polymorphous light eruption

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a long-lasting, noncontagious autoimmune disease characterized by patches of abnormal skin. Gottron's sign and Psoriasis are autoimmune diseases.

See Gottron's sign and Psoriasis

Skin

Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation.
