Dermatoxin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dermatoxin (from the Greek word for skin: derma) is a poisonous toxin, which damages the skin. After contact with the substance, the skin or Mucous membrane will suffer Necrosis. Dermatoxin can be negative side-effects of a medication, but it can also be natural chemicals that are used in laboratories or the industry. The name derives from Genito, a portmanteau which includes the aspects of andrology, gynaecology and urology.
The active effect of a dermatoxin is strongly dependent of the dose, location of the intake, the speed at which it spreads and the health of the human or animal.
