SKIN diseases may be classified according to aetiology into two basic categories, those factors acting on the skin from within the animal (the internal factors) and those acting on it from the environment (the external factors). However, certain diseases, such as allergy, and certain types of neoplasia may require an interaction of both an internal predisposition and an external stimulus prior to developing the condition. There are also many conditions which, at present, must be classified as idiopathic.
