| Description |
This is a biopsy of dermatitis. The epidermis (upper purple strip) is being infiltrated by lymphocytes (small purple dots), and they are also infiltrating into the dermis (lower pink area). The consequence of this lymphocytic attack is disruption of the maturation of the skin (scaling), vasodilation (redness), and stimulation of the nerves that carry itch sensation (itching). |
