Functional medicine takes a different perspective on skin diseases by not viewing it as a “disease” in and of itself. Rather, many skin conditions are considered an external symptom of an internal problem – and solved at the root cause.
Do you find it hard to live in the skin that is manifested with rashes, itchiness, redness, bleb or infection? Living with chronic skin conditions can be hard affecting people’s social, professional, and personal life. Skin is the largest and most visible part of our body and skin conditions like a rash, irritation, skin infection, weird-looking bumps, blemishes, and inflammation can drive anyone crazy, in the most unpleasant ways. There are many conventional treatments available in the market in the form of topical cream, tablets tonics, lotions, ointments, antibiotics, and antifungal agents, offering only temporary relief from the condition, and posing greater side effects. That’s why most of the people look for integrative therapies like functional medicine that can treat chronic skin conditions from the inside out.
