Eosinophilic Fasciitis
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a specific disease of the skin that leads
to inflammation and thickening of the skin and fascia underneath. In patients with eosinophilic fasciitis, the involved fascia
is inflamed with the eosinophil type of white blood cells. This leads to symptoms of progressive thickening, and often redness
and warmth, and hardness of the skin surface.
Signs and Symptoms:
The usual initial symptoms are pain, swelling, and inflammation
of the skin, particularly over the inside of the arms and the front of the legs.
