What is autonomic denervation dermatitis?
Autonomic denervation dermatitis (ADD) is an uncommon localised eczematous eruption around a surgical incision site. It is often associated with cutaneous anaesthesia or hypoesthesia, and may result from iatrogenic nerve damage and autonomic disruption from surgery.
