Summary

This study aims to understand inflammation in four chronic skin conditions: vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema (atopic dermatitis), and alopecia areata. Researchers will collect blood and small skin samples from 450 adults to analyze immune cells called T-cells. The goal is to describe how these cells differ in each disease, which may help guide future treatments.
