skin condition s/l "scalding" - ItSnowedHereTodayHelp!
Posted: Apr 15, 2011
This patient has a lot of skin problems with ulcerations, fungal infections, decubitus ulcers, purulent drainage, etc. Doc says: "The patient had chronic lymphedema and areas of s/l 'scalding' and ulcers." Is this word scalding as in the skin appears red as if it had been scalded? Or is it something else? Any ideas will be cheerfully considered.
scalding is correct - sweetgirlsmom
[ In Reply To ..]Scalded skin syndrome is a skin infection caused by Staphylococcus. The skin blisters and peels off.
thanks so much - SnowedHere
[ In Reply To ..]Never heard of scalded skin syndrome, but it makes sense. Thanks so much!
