Another term for abnormal or premature aging of the skin, characterized by wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and aged appearance in younger individuals.
Variant of geroderma using the Greek suffix '-ia' instead of '-a', both from 'geron' (old) + 'derma' (skin). The '-ia' ending is common in medical terminology for chronic conditions.
