Eksantema

Eksantema is a medical term that refers to a rash or eruption of the skin. It is a common symptom of various skin conditions and infectious diseases. The term is derived from the Greek words "eksantos," meaning "outside," and "derma," meaning "skin." Eksantema can manifest in different forms, including macules, papules, vesicles, and pustules, and can appear in various colors such as red, pink, or purple. It can be localized or widespread and may be accompanied by itching, burning, or other discomforts. Common causes of eksantema include allergic reactions, infections (such as measles, chickenpox, or shingles), and autoimmune disorders. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and may include laboratory tests or skin biopsies to identify the underlying cause. Treatment depends on the specific cause of the eksantema and may include topical creams, oral medications, or antiviral treatments. In some cases, eksantema may resolve on its own without specific treatment.
