Woman gets skin loss from this disease (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mange

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this disease' is the definition.
(mange is a kind of disease)

'woman gets skin loss' is the wordplay.
'MANGE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mange that I've seen before include "Animal's skin disease causing loss of hair" , "Skin disease of cats and dogs" , "Disease affecting dog hair" , "veterinary problem" , "Parasitic skin disease" .)
