Dermatologic Emergencies

Dermatologic emergencies are serious skin conditions that require immediate medical attention. They can include severe allergic reactions, skin infections like cellulitis, or painful rashes such as toxic epidermal necrolysis. Symptoms might range from widespread redness and blisters to swelling and significant pain. These conditions can lead to complications like infection or dehydration if not treated promptly. Emergency physicians assess the patient's overall health, provide necessary treatments, and may consult dermatologists for specialized care. Early intervention is crucial to prevent serious outcomes and ensure effective recovery.
