Desquamation

Hey! It’s been a minute! Been wrestling with some feelings of burnout and just sort of stopped doing any sort of art for the past couple of weeks… then I had a flu that knocked me outta commission for another week! But hey! Trying to get back into the swing of things here with a new drawing.

Hope y’all have been well.

  I wrote this immediately after reading mydangblog’s “Prone to Being Prone,” and expected to post the same day. But I had to stop to do something else and didn’t get back, and then forgot, and so here I am, over a month later, finally getting it out there. Not that it’s time-sensitive or anything. Warning: Blog posts are supposed to be 300-500 words long, and this is a lot longer than that, so…

Desquamation, bitches.

When I found out about cells and how they're sloughed off every time there is friction between two parts, I kept slapping my hands together so they'd eventually disappear and I'd be left with just my arms.

I was in the 4th grade. I didn't even know the word "desquamation" then.

August 23

I searched through that website. Some of the font on the Journeys page is different. I clicked the words, and they all led me to these articles about desquamation. The hell? What do you guys think? See for yourself.

Desquamation

Unusually Severe Desquamation

Desquamation (from the Latin desquamare - to scrape scales off a fish) is simply the peeling or shedding of the outermost layer of the skin. It happens to everyone when skin cells are replaced every 14 days or so, but the cells are generally unnoticeable, as they don't shed in large sheets. 

When skin is damaged or burned, like in a sunburn, desquamation becomes more noticeable and occurs in sheets and flakes. Some of the diseases that commonly afflicted kids, like measles and scarlet fever, caused significant damage to the epidermis, causing (sometimes very significant) desquamation after the rash dissipated. 

This child had scarlet fever with a markedly more severe rash than most, but with other symptoms within the average range.
