Study of skin inflammation in dermatomyositis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at a type of skin inflammation called panniculitis that can happen in people with dermatomyositis. The goal is to learn more about this condition so that better treatments can be developed.
