Hey Emily!
I agree that this disease disrupts the Integumentary system. Its the skin that in some cases probably doesn't even let the body to sweat in the areas that are infected. Sweating, as we know, is a clear sign of homeostasis to keep the body in its regular temps!
Skin Cancer cells can spread to other parts ofyour body causing your body to work at trying to cure it, and because of this it allows other parts of your body to be infected more easily.
