Different degrees of inflammation, such as may be caused by blows, contusions, lacerations, pressure or friction, can be properly termed dermatitis traumatica, but the variety caused by scratching is most interesting to the dermatologist. The removal of the cause and mechanical protection of the surface is usually sufficient unless surgical measures are required. Pigmentation and induration of the skin may be sequelae. See indications for Arnica, Graphites, Hepar sulph., Hypericum, and Sul. acid.
