What happens during the disease - acute radiodermatitis
Acute radiodermatitis is a skin condition caused by exposure to high doses of radiation. it is characterized by inflammation of the skin, including redness, swelling, itching, and blistering. the initial damage to the skin is caused by the radiation, which damages the cells and causes inflammation. this inflammation leads to the release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, which further damage the skin and cause more inflammation. this cycle of inflammation and damage can cause the symptoms of acute radiodermatitis.
