SKIN.
►
Applied to the skin, turpentine produces rubefaction, and sometimes a
vesicular eruption. A scarlet eruption on the skin has been observed to
succeed the internal administration, [39].
► Scarlet eruption broke out upon the
body (after five hours, second day), [34].
► Often there suddenly appears upon
the skin erythematous, papular, often vesicular eruptions, analogous to
those caused by certain forms of sea-food, [18a]. ►
Nettlerash eruption, [14]. ► Herpes of the lips not infrequent, [18a]. ►
An exanthema, like scarlet rash, breaks out at first on the affected
knee, extending down to the ankle, then breaks out on the chest and on
the right foot, and gradually extends over the largest part of the body,
though it disappears within a day (after five hours), [4]. ► At
8.45, 10 drops of Terebinth., that had been standing in water at 158°
Fahr., were dropped upon the elbow; it was followed by two successive
applications of 10 drops each, after which there was a sensation of some
warmth in the bend of the elbow; again 10 drops were applied twice, and
there was some itching on the spot. Again 10 drops, at 9 o’clock again
10 drops; the water had now a temperature of 122°; this was followed by
some redness of the bend of the elbow, and the bloodvessels of the
corium were distended. The itching increased. The oil flowed down both
sides and spread over the internal condyle. The concentration of the oil
at one point increased and accelerated its action. After fifteen minutes
the 70 drops had already caused considerable redness. Increasing itching
provoked scratching, which, however, was avoided on account of this
increasing hyperæmia. At 9.12 the itching was associated with some
burning. 5 drops were repeatedly applied after 9 o’clock, between 9 and
9.5 as many as eleven times. At 9.15 the whole elbow was somewhat red;
on the side over which a large part of the oil had flowed there was
considerable itching. In the bend of the elbow the burning increased.
The dropping was continued, and at 9.20 the redness had extended
transversely across the middle of the bend of the elbow, and the burning
increased, and the dropping now became somewhat painful; the part began
to burn acutely and fine stitches were felt. The dropping was continued.
At 9.25, sticking burning, which increased and became very acute. The
redness now spread over the whole bend of the elbow, and the skin became
sensitive to touch. By 9.30, 140 drops had been applied to the elbow.
The burning was quite severe. Every new dropping caused increase of the
burning. The breath from the mouth was felt more acutely over the bend
of the elbow than over other parts, and caused transient burning. 9.31,
burning continued and was quite violent, the reddened cutis was swollen,
and when brushed with a feather of the finger, was decidedly more numb
than natural. 9.34, the burning increased, there appeared a bright rosy
redness with some swelling, numbness, burning stinging pain, and
painfulness to touch. 9.40, very violent burning stinging in the whole
bend of the elbow, extending also over the whole inner half of the joint
to the olecranon process. 9.43, excessive itching and burning, as from
the heat of a fire. 9.45, dropped the last 5 drops, followed by increase
of the burning and stinging, with somewhat diffused burning which was in
some degree pulsative; associated with a feeling of pressure and tension
over the whole surface, which was red, and sometimes a deep sensation of
pulsation. At times stitches were felt over the whole surface, at other
times only here and there in the reddened place. The stitches increased
to a certain point, and then diminished. There was also at times a
sensation of soreness like a smarting. 9.50, the rosy redness and
burning continued, with stitches and increased heat; the thermometer was
98.3° Fahr., against 95° in the right elbow. 10 o’clock, the burning
continued, the redness was very great, with swelling of the cutis,
sensation of heat, numbness, increased sensitiveness, swelling of the
hair-follicles; the burning was worse on the inner side of the joint,
and pressure caused pain, followed by aggravation of the burning. On the
second day there was still some redness, the sensation of touch was not
yet normal, and the skin was somewhat sensitive, with increased warmth.
On the third day, after some pain during the night, the skin of the
elbow was found to be spotted with circumscribed dark redness of the
bend of the elbow. On the fourth day there were dark-red spots, some of
which were intensely red. The appearance in general was similar to
extravasation of blood; in the evening of the same day there were found
to be at least five spots in which the epidermis had been incompletely
raised by exudation, and touch caused sore pain. Further account of this
erythema is unnecessary. Desquamation and recovery followed, [31]. [300.]

the skin of the extremities, especially of the lower extremities, at
times associated with very acute pains, following the course of the
large nerves, [18a]. ► Burning itching in the skin of the right
groin, [2].
