Erythema is the medical term for redness of a specific area or organ of the body. It is usually caused by swelling from infection or some sort of uneasiness in the body. It is a condition that manifests as superficial reddening of the skin, in patches, due to injury or some irritation that causes dilatation of the blood capillaries, and can occur in places other than the skin.

What is erythematous exudative?

Erythema (noun): Redness of the skin caused by dilatation and congestion of the capillaries, often a sign of inflammation or infection. Erythematous(adjective): Relating to or characterized by erythema It seem to me that we speak for one and the same disease if we speak for Erythema exudativa or Erythematous exudative. If my assumption is right, I have the answer below for you: Erythema is a skin disorder due to an allergic reaction or infection. Erythema is a type of allergic reaction that occurs in response to medications, infections, or illness. Medications include:Barbiturate, Penicillins, Phenytoin, Sulfonamides. Infections include: Herpes simplex. Mycoplasma. Erythema is exudative, when there is exudate and swelling in the rash patches. This usually happens infectious erythema. Most erythema multiforme is associated with herpes simplex or mycoplasma infections. To the questioner: The term 'erythema' has frequent use than erythematous, so it would be better for the readers of answer.com to have the question as Erythema (instead Erythematous). Hope the someone will edit and correct it.
