It seldom metastasizes but invades local tissue. Common of the face of elderly individuals candidiasis ------ An infection of the skin, mouth (thrush), or vagina caused by the yeast-like fungus Candidia albicans. Candidia is normally present in the mucous membranes; overgrowth causes an infection. Esophageal candidiasis is often seen in AIDS patients carbuncle ------ Skin infection composed of a cluster of boils caused by staphylococcal bacteria cellulitis ------ Inflammation of the connective tissue caused by infection, leading to redness, swelling, and fever contusion ------ Injury with no break in the skin, characterized by pain, swelling, discoloration (also called a bruise) eczema ------ Noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness, blisters, scabs, and itching fissure ------ Slit or crack-like sore in the skin furuncle ------ Painful skin node caused by staphylococcal bacteria in a hair follicle (also called a boil gangrene ------ Death of a tissue caused by a loss of blood supply followed by bacterial invasion herpes ------ Inflammatory skin disease caused by herpes virus characterized by small blisters in clusters. There are many types of herpes. Herpes simplex, for example, causes fever blisters and herpes zoster, also called shingles, is characterized by painful skin eruptions that follows nerves inflamed by the virus impetigo ------ Superficial skin infection characterized by pustules and caused by either staphylococci or streptococci Kaposi sarcoma ------ A cancerous condition starting as purple or brown pimples on the feet, which spreads through the skin to the lymph nodes and internal organs.

The infection causes severe itching with red papules scleroderma ------ A disease characterized by chronic hardening (induration)of the connective tissue of the skin and other body organs shingles ------ development of paInful, inflammed blisters that follow the nerve roots; caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (also called herpes zoster) squamos cell carcinoma (SqCCA) ------ A malignant growth that develops from scale like epithelial tissue. On the skin it appears as a firm, red, painless bump. It is also found in other body sites systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ------ Inflammatory disease of the joints and the protein in the white fibers (collagen) of the connective tissue of the skin. It also may affect other organs tinea ------ Fungus infection of the skin commonly called “ringworm” urticaria ------ An itching skin eruption composed of wheals of varying size and shape cauterization ------ destruction of tissue with a hot or cold instrument, electric current, or caustic substance (also called cautery) cryosurgery ------ destruction of tissue by using extreme cold, often by using liquid nitrogen debriedment ------ removal of contaminated or dead tissue and foreign matter from an open wound dermabrasion ------ procedures to remove skin scars with abrasive material, such as sandpaper excision ------ removal by cutting incision ------ surgical cut or wound produced by a sharp instrument incision & drainage (I & D) ------ surgical cut made to allow the free flow or withdrawal of fluids from a lesion, wound, or cavity laser surgery ------ procedure using an instrument that emits a high powered beam of light used to cut, burn, vaporize, or destroy tissue Mohs surgery ------ technique of microscopically controlled serial excisions of skin cancers suturing ------ to stitch edges of a wound surgically adipose ------ fat allergy ------ Hypersensitivity to a substance alopecia ------ baldness bacteria (s. bacterium) ------ Single celled microorganisms that reproduce by cell division and may cause infection by invading body tissue cicatrix ------ scar cyst ------ A closed sac containing fluid or semisolid material cytomegalovirus (CMV) ------ A herpes type virus that usually causes disease when the immune system is compromised diaphorsis ------ Profuse sweating ecchymosis ------ Escape of blood into the tissues causing superficial discoloration; a “black and blue” mark edema ------ Puffy swelling of tissue from the accumulation of fluid emollient ------ Agent that softens or soothes the skin erythema ------ redness fungus (pl. fungi) ------ Organism that feeds by absorbing organic molecules from its surroundings and may cause infection by invading body tissue; single celled fungi (yeast) reproduce by budding; multicelled fungi (mold) reproduce by spore formation induration ------ Abnormal hard spot(s) jaundice ------ Condition characterized by a yellow tinge to the skin (xanthoderma) keloid ------ Overgrowth of scar tissue leukoplakia ------ Condition characterized by white spots or patches on mucous membrane, which may be precancerous macule ------ Flat, colored spot on the skin nevus ((pl. nevi) ------ Circumscribed pigmented area present at birth; mole, birthmark nodule ------ A small knotlike mass that can be felt by touch pallor ------ paleness papule ------ Small, solid skin elevation (pimple) petechia (pl. petechiae) ------ Pinpoint skin hemorrhages pressure ulcer (decub) ------ Bedsore; an open area of skin caused by pressure or irritation pruritus ------ Severe skin itching purpura ------ Disorder characterized by hemorrhages into the tissue, giving the skin a purple-red discoloration pustule ------ Elevation of skin containing pus ulcer ------ Eroded sore on the skin or mucous membrane verruca ------ Circumscribed cutaneous elevation caused by a virus; wart vesicle ------ Small elevation of the epidermis containing liquid (blister) virus ------ An infectious agent wheal ------ Transitory, round, itchy elevation of the skin with a white center and a red surrounding area (hive)
