Abstract
The term exudative dermatosis refers to those dermatologic diseases that happen with skin lesions that produce exudation. They are included in the acute dermatosis and they characteristically present with swelling, erythema, vesiculation and exudation. There are many skin diseases with diverse etiologies that can clinically present as exudative dermatosis. We highlight by its frequency: acute eczema, impetigo, viral infections by herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus, tinea pedis, intertrigo and bites. Exudative dermatosis are wet skin lesions and their management requires two types of interventions: first, to decrease the exudation, and second, the specific treatment of the disease.
