Asthma is not a disease that affects the skin. Asthma affects the lower respiratory system. There are several allergic conditions that affect the skin, and you need to consult a physician.
The respiratory system has two parts, the upper and the lower. Common conditions of the upper respiratory system include, hay fever and rhinitis. Lower respiratory ailments include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, and tuberculosis.
lower and upper respiratory system
Pulmonologists treat the lower respiratory system, and otolargyngologists treat the upper respiratory system.
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.

The upper respiratory system removes gross particles from the air, warms and humidifies it, and passes it to the lower respiratory system.
No, the nose and throat are the upper respiratory system; they are above the lungs (when you are standing up).
Recent research has shown that children raised with a dog in the home have a lower instance of asthma when they get older. These children also have fewer allergies.
The lungs are intimately in contact with the cardiovascular system. The alveoli in the lungs is where gas exchange occurs from the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
The upper respiratory system employs several mechanisms to filter out dust and bacteria before they reach the lower respiratory system. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the nasal passages and trachea, sweep mucus and trapped particles upward toward the throat, where they can be swallowed or expelled. Additionally, mucus traps dust, pathogens, and other debris, preventing them from entering the lungs. The rich blood supply in the upper respiratory system also helps warm and humidify the air, further protecting the delicate tissues of the lower respiratory system.
The main parts of the lower respiratory tract are the trachea, two bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs. The upper and lower respiratory tracts come together to make up the entire respiratory system.
