DERMATITIS CALORICA

Definition.—This term includes cases of dermatitis of varying grade,
due to the action of heat or cold. The condition may be so slight as to
be simply an erythema or congestion—erythema caloricum; or, if the
cause has been extreme, death of the part may result. Two forms are
described: that due to excessive heat—dermatitis ambustionis, or burns
—and that due to excessive cold (extreme absence of heat)—dermatitis
congelationis, or frost­bites.
