What is dermatomyositis?
According to Mayo Clinic, dermatomyositis is a rare uncommon disease which usually occurs more in women than in men. In this, the body’s immunity becomes very weak. That means the body is no longer capable of fighting diseases. Its only treatment is steroids but there is a risk of further affecting the immune system. In this disease, there is inflammation in the cells due to which the muscles start weakening rapidly and rashes start appearing on the skin.
Symptoms of dermatomyositis
Symptoms of dermatomyositis either appear very late or can appear suddenly. Usually its first sign starts with changes in the skin. The skin first starts turning violet or dusky in color. Due to this, rashes start appearing on the skin. These rashes are usually seen on the face and around the eyes. Rashes cause itching as well as pain.
Due to weak immune system in dermatomyositis, the muscles become very weak. The muscles of the hips, thighs, shoulders, upper arms and neck start weakening rapidly. This weakness can occur on both the left and right sides, which gradually leads to a very bad condition.
Causes of dermatomyositis
According to the Mayo Clinic, the causes of dermatomyositis are not yet known. But it is similar to autoimmune disorder. In this the immune system mistakenly starts attacking its healthy tissue. Genetic and environmental factors also play a role in this. Environmental reasons include virus infection, strong sunlight, some medicines and smoking can also be the reason for this.
Complications in dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis may cause difficulty in swallowing. There is a risk of pneumonia due to this. There may be difficulty in breathing. In this situation, there can be a risk of cardiovascular disease, lung disease and even cancer.
