Sensitivity Electrodermal

Sensitivity to electrocoagulation of the skin (electrodermatosis) is a phenomenon in dermatology associated with a pathological reaction of the skin to prolonged (more than 45 seconds) exposure to high voltage and frequency electric currents with a multi-element ordered pulse or pulses. Upon closer examination, the lesion may be described as photoerythema. An accompanying symptom is a tingling sensation.

It is still not fully understood what is the main cause of electrocution sensitive skin syndrome. More than once there have been attempts to explain the appearance of the syndrome as a result of contact with metal objects while a person was working at a shipyard, but these data were not confirmed. These attempts gave rise to talk about the difference between the usual touch of metal objects with high conductivity to the skin and contact with such
