| | Autoimmune Skin Disease |
| | Autoimmune skin disease is a condition in which the body's immune system targets the skin for destruction. | | | How well an individual responds to therapy does not appear to be predictable for PF and depends on the ability of medications to suppress the individual animal's immune system, thereby preventing further lesion development and enabling healing of lesions that are present. | | | Dosages of medications are adjusted carefully to reduce side effects while discouraging the return of skin lesions. |
