The main membrane is one of the main elements of the skin. It plays an important role in maintaining the moisture and acid balance in the skin and also protects it from various environmental factors.
The main membrane consists of several layers of cells called basal cells. They are located at the level of the basement membrane and consist of keratinocytes - cells that provide strength and elasticity to the skin. These cells die and are replaced by new ones constantly. Basal cells also maintain healthy pH levels in the skin and protect it from pathogens.
In addition, the main membrane contains collagen and elastin - proteins that provide elasticity and strength to the skin. Collagen and elastin are the main components of the dermal matrix, which forms the basis of the skin.
However, like all other elements of the body, the main membrane can be susceptible to various diseases and damage. For example, if the balance of fatty acids in the skin is disturbed or various bacterial infections occur, various skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis may occur.
Changes in the basement membrane can also cause symptoms such as itching and flaking of the skin. Additionally, dry and dehydrated skin can lead to loss of elasticity and firmness.
When diagnosing skin diseases associated with changes in the main membrane, it is important to perform a biopsy of skin tissue. This allows you to obtain skin samples with the basal layer and evaluate their condition in the laboratory.
Treatment of diseases associated with the basilar membrane depends on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient
