Generalized exfoliative dermatitis, or erythroderma, is a severe inflammation of the entire skin surface. This is due to a reaction to certain medicines, a pre-existing skin condition, and sometimes cancer. In approximately 25% of people, there is no identifiable cause.
Exfoliative dermatitis happens as a reactive condition — a reaction to an underlying health condition or trigger. These triggers lead your skin cells to turn over, or die and shed, too quickly. This rapid turnover of skin cells then causes significant sloughing, or peeling and scaling, of the skin.
