Inflammation of both the skin and the synovial membranes (which line joints and produce lubricating fluid), typically occurring together in systemic diseases.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'synovia' (joint fluid) + '-itis' (inflammation). Medical term for compound inflammatory conditions affecting multiple tissues.
Dermosynovitis often signals a systemic disease like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis where your immune system attacks multiple body systems at once—skin problems and joint pain together tell doctors to look for deeper issues!
