Abstract

Immunocompromised district (ICD) is a localized skin area that is more vulnerable than the rest of the body because of genetic or acquired reasons.  It mainly consists of a localized dysregulation of the immune control, which often facilitates but sometimes may hinder the local onset of immunity-related eruptions or skin disorders.
