Despite their size, they play a vital role in regulating many of our body’s essential functions, including metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response. They produce hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone, each of which has a distinct function in keeping the body balanced.

This skin disorder is not contagious; it’s linked to immune system activity, which causes inflammation and rapid skin cell turnover. While it can be difficult to identify in children, recognising the signs and understanding the triggers can help manage the condition effectively.
