Other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation - what does this mean
Other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation occur when a person is exposed to a high dose of radiation, either externally (e.g. x-ray) or internally (e.g. radioactive materials). this can lead to the destruction of skin cells and the development of radiation dermatitis, which is characterized by redness, swelling, and blistering of the skin. in severe cases, the affected area can develop ulcers and necrosis.
What happens during the disease - other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation
The pathogenesis of other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation is due to the direct effect of ionizing radiation on the skin. this can cause a variety of changes in the skin, such as erythema, telangiectasia, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and epidermal atrophy. in addition, radiation can cause damage to the underlying subcutaneous tissue, leading to fibrosis, atrophy, and calcification. these changes can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as pain, itching, and scarring.
