https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-025-8-56-59
Abstract
With age, the skin undergoes changes, losing elasticity, moisture and protective functions, which contributes to the appearance of various dermatoses. Dermatological diseases are quite common in geriatric patients and may have their own course characteristics in this age group. The study of the features and structure of dermatoses in geriatric patients is important for the development of effective methods of treatment and prevention of these diseases.
