    GlossaryEpidermal Hyperplasia

    abnormal increase in skin cell layers, causing thickened skin

    Epidermal Hyperplasia, also known as epidermal thickening, is a condition where the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) undergoes an abnormal increase in the number of cells, leading to a thicker skin layer. This can be a response to chronic irritation, inflammation, or certain skin disorders, and may present as rough, scaly patches on the skin. For professionals, it is important to note that this condition can be indicative of underlying issues such as psoriasis or chronic eczema.
