Description This biopsy demonstrates basically what is happening within dermatitis. Lymphocytes (small purple dots) are attacking the epidermis (thick upper purple area), as well as the underlying dermis (fainter pink area at the base) and induce abnormal maturation of the epidermis (scaling), vasodilation (redness), and stimulate the cutaneous nerves and thereby induce itching.
