The widespread exfoliative dermatitis is a severe inflammation that affects the whole surface of the skin redness and moving towards a tip with a large flakes.

Certain medications (especially penicillins, sulfonamide, isoniazid, phenytoin and barbiturates) can cause this disease. In some cases, this is a complication of other skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and contact dermatitis. Certain lymphomas (cancers of the lymph nodes) can also cause dermatitis exfoliative widespread. In many cases you can not find any cause.

Exfoliative dermatitis can begin quickly or slowly. The entire surface of the skin becomes red, scaly, thickened and sometimes crusty. Some people suffer from itching and enlargement of the lymph nodes. While many people have a fever, may feel cold because they lose much heat through the skin. They can lose large amounts of fluids and proteins and damaged skin is a poor barrier against infection.

People with severe exfoliative dermatitis often require hospitalization and receive antibiotics (for infection), sera intravenous (to replace the fluid lost through the skin) and nutritional supplements.

Corticosteroids (like prednisone) administered orally or intravenously are used only when other measures are not effective or the disease worsens.
