Sjogren’s Syndrome
In Sjogren’s syndrome, the immune system attacks the eye and mouth glands, hindering the production of tears and saliva. The result is symptoms such as burning/itchy eyes and difficulty swallowing.
The skin can also be affected when you have Sjogren’s syndrome. Ailments may show up in the form of dry, itchy skin or hives outbreaks, or skin lesions that appear as blisters, lumps, or ulcers.
