| nickel dermatitis | Allergic dermatitis due to contact with, or in some cases ingestion of, nickel or other metals containing nickel (e.g., stainless steel) as a diluent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subcorneal pustular dermatitis | A pruritic chronic annular eruption of sterile vesicles and pustules beneath the stratum corneum; bears a considerable clinical resemblance to dermatitis herpetiformis. Synonym: Sneddon-Wilkinson disease, subcorneal pustular dermatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nummular dermatitis | <dermatology> A form of eczema that is characterised by coin-shaped patches of inflamed skin. The cause is unknown but is related to a hypersensitivity reaction. A family history for allergies or atopic dermatitis is common in affected individuals. (13 Nov 1997) |
| deficiency dermatitis and diarrhoea, zinc | A genetic disease called acrodermatitis enteropathica is characterised by the simultaneous occurrence of skin inflammation (dermatitis) and diarrhoea. The skin on the cheeks, elbows and knees and tissue about the mouth and anus are inflammed. There is also balding of the scalp, eyebrows and lashes, delayed wound healing and recurrent bacterial and fungal infections due to immune deficiency. The key laboratory finding is an abnormally low blood zinc level reflecting impaired zinc uptake. Oral treatment with zinc is curative. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dermatitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the skin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| dermatitis aestivalis | Eczema recurring during the summer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis ambustionis | Inflammation of the skin resulting from the action of heat. Synonym: dermatitis calorica, uritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis artefacta | Self-induced skin lesions resulting from habitual rubbing, scratching or hair-pulling, malingering, or mental disturbance. Synonym: dermatitis autophytica, factitial dermatitis, feigned eruption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis-arthritis-tenosynovitis syndrome | <syndrome> Disseminated infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, causing skin lesions (often pustular or necrotic), plus synovitis of major joints (such as knee, ankle, elbow), and tendon sheaths. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis, atopic | A chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. It is manifested by lichenification, excoriation, and crusting, mainly on the flexural surfaces of the elbow and knee. In infants it is known as infantile eczema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dermatitis atrophicans | A diffuse idiopathic atrophy of the skin involving the appendages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis autophytica | Self-induced skin lesions resulting from habitual rubbing, scratching or hair-pulling, malingering, or mental disturbance. Synonym: dermatitis autophytica, factitial dermatitis, feigned eruption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermatitis calorica | Inflammation of the skin resulting from the action of heat. Synonym: dermatitis calorica, uritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
