Skin conditions
Take a closer look at some of the skin conditions we are currently working on:
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and nails, often associated with a multiple comorbidities.
Actinic keratosis
Actinic keratosis or solar keratosis is a condition that involves sun-damaged skin, typically in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD), or atopic eczema, is a chronic non-contagious inflammatory skin disease.
Acne
Acne is a skin disorder that usually appears in adolescence, causing blackheads and pimples.
Onychomycosis
Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, is an infection that affects the nails, being more likely to occur in toenails, especially the big toe.
Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease that causes hair loss in small, round areas of the scalp, although, in some cases, it may also lead to generalized baldness.
Skin cancer
Skin cancer is caused by an abnormal overgrowth of skin cells that lose control of their growth cycle.
Vitiligo
A non-contagious chronic condition characterized by loss of pigmentation due to the destruction of melanocytes—the cells responsible for skin color.
Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic non-contagious skin disease characterized by inflammatory and painful nodules or abscesses developed in the major skin fold areas.
Rare skin diseases
More than 800 rare skin diseases affect approximately 6.8 million patients worldwide, many with high unmet medical needs. Take a closer look at some of the skin conditions that Almirall is currently researching.
