Skin -- Diseases
Exceptional. Scarlatinoid and papular.
#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the iodides
(iodine).#
Common. _Pustular_, but may be erythematous, papular, vesicular,
bullous, tuberous, purpuric and hemorrhagic. Co-administration of
arsenic or potassium bitartrate is thought to have a preventive
influence in some cases.
#Give the frequency and types of eruption observed to follow the
administration of mercury.#
Exceptional. Erythematous and erysipelatous.
#Give the frequency and types of the cutaneous disturbance following the
ingestion of opium (or morphia).#
Not uncommon. Erythematous and _scarlatinoid_, and sometimes urticarial.
#Mention the frequency and the types of eruption following the
administration of quinine.#
Not infrequent. Usually _erythematous_, but may be urticarial,
erythemato-papular, and even purpuric. There is, in some instances,
preceding or accompanying systemic disturbance. Furfuraceous or lamellar
desquamation often follows.
#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the ingestion of
salicylic acid.#
Not common. Erythematous and urticarial; exceptionally, vesicular,
pustular, bullous, and ecchymotic.
#Give frequency and type of cutaneous disturbance due to the
administration of stramonium.#
Not common. Erythematous.
#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the administration
of turpentine.#
Not uncommon. _Erythematous_, and small-papular; exceptionally
vesicular.
#X-Ray Dermatitis.#
#What several grades of x-ray dermatitis (x-ray burns, Rontgen-ray burns)
are observed?#
Three grades are usually described: erythema, superficial vesication,
and necrosis. The first and second may come on shortly--a few hours to
several days--after exposure; occasionally later. The third grade may
present also in the first several days, but in many cases one to several
weeks may elapse before it appears; it is quite commonly preceded by
erythema and vesication. The necrosis may be superficial or deep, and
quite usually results in a persistent ulcer covered by a leathery
coating; it is usually painful.

#Give the prognosis and treatment of x-ray dermatitis.#
The first grade--the erythematous--usually disappears in one to ten
days; the second grade requires one to several weeks, and may be quite
sore and tender; the severe or necrotic burns are persistent, sometimes
lasting for months and several years, with little tendency to
spontaneous disappearance, and rebellious to treatment.
Treatment of the milder types is that of erythema (_q. v._); the necrotic
type occasionally demands thorough curetting and skin-grafting before it
will heal.
#Dermatitis Factitia.#
(_Synonym:_ Feigned Eruptions.)
#What do you understand by feigned eruptions?#
