Exfoliative dermatitis

Exfoliative dermatitis, clinically synonymous with erythroderma, is a severe, potentially life-threatening inflammatory disorder of the integumentary system characterized by widespread erythema and extensive scaling or peeling involving at least 90% of the body surface area It typically arises as a cutaneous reaction pattern triggered by preexisting dermatoses, adverse drug reactions, underlying malignancies, or idiopathic factors
