Since skin disease not a leading cause of mortality it is not usually thought of as a major health issue in developing countries.  However, it is extremely common up to 21-87% of the population may be affected by some type of skin problem, depending on the locale.  It also contributes to significant physical and psychological disabilities. These disabilities have been measured by a number of life quality measures but the importance of skin health is often underestimated because of the chronic, non-life threatening nature of most skin diseases.
