Dermatology researchers discover new skin disease using innovative diagnostic platform

Researchers described a new skin disease in a male patient with erythroderma, causing 80 percent of his skin to be covered with red, exfoliating skin lesions that itched and burned. After undergoing months of treatment with traditional therapies for erythroderma, which included the steroid prednisone, anti-itch creams, and immunosuppressive drugs, the patient experienced little relief.
