Description

Erythroderma is the condition which causes reddening of skin due the inflammation disease.

Erythroderma is mainly caused by pityriasis rubra pilaris, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and another skin conditions. This condition is rare, and it was mainly observed in the males than females and can arise at the any age in people. The symptoms include Rashes, skin redness and itching, and it spreads quickly. There are many drugs that leads to Erythroderma such as carbamazepine, hydantoin derivatives, cimetidine, pyrazalone derivatives, lithium salts and gold salts.

If you have the symptoms of the psoriasis you should consult the doctor immediately. The medications used to treat Erythroderma are infliximab, cyclosporine, infliximab-abda and infliximab-dyyb, these may be used as first line of defense. To control the cell growth, soriatane and methotrexate are prescribed. You can also take an immune-suppressing drug, such as adalimumab-atto, brodalumab, ustekinumab, etanercept-szzs, adalimumab. By using steroid cream, oatmeal baths and wet wraps, the skin may get smooth, thus you can prevent from drying and itching.
