In anatomical directions, moving toward the skin surface.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + the directional suffix '-ad' (meaning toward), a medical terminology convention. This creates directional words like 'cephalad' (toward the head) or 'caudad' (toward the tail).
Medical directional words like 'dermad' reveal how doctors think spatially—they need precise language to describe which direction something moves inside the body, and 'dermad' tells you something is moving outward toward the skin.
