Autoimmune skin diseases occur when the immune system of an infected animal attacks its own skin.[1] In dogs, autoimmune skin diseases are usually not detected until visible symptoms appear, which differs from detection in humans who are able to verbally express their concerns.[2] Genetics, nutrition, and external environmental factors all collectively contribute to increasing the probability an autoimmune skin disease occurring.[3] The severity of symptoms varies based on the specific disease present and how far it has progressed. Diagnosis often requires the onset of visible symptoms and for a biopsy to be performed. For many diseases, the condition itself cannot be cured, but a veterinarian can prescribe medications and other forms of treatment to help manage the symptoms of the dog.[4]
