Dermogastric

/ˌdɜːrməˈɡæstrɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to both the skin and the stomach or digestive system.

Etymology

From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'gaster' (stomach). This medical term combines two anatomical systems to describe conditions affecting both areas simultaneously.

Kelly Says

Some autoimmune diseases like scleroderma affect both your skin and your digestive system, making 'dermogastric' the perfect word for doctors describing these complex whole-body conditions.
