Abstract: To the Editor: Skin disease often impairs quality of life and results in an increase in years lived with disability (YLDs). In 2010, skin disease was the fourth cause of nonfatal disease burden worldwide.1 Skin conditions ranked between the second and eleventh leading causes of YLDs globally.1 We investigated changes in the global burden of skin disease experienced in developed and developing countries between 1990 and 2013.
