A dermatologist has shared a reminder that certain skin conditions are associated with serious health issues that people may not know about.
The doctor, Dr. Saranya Wyles, urged people to stop focusing only on the cosmetic aspects of skin conditions and take precautions regarding other parts of the body that may be affected.
“The skin is not separate from the rest of the body,” Dr. Wyles, a dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic, said on the TODAY show.
