Pain in the skin or dermis; a condition characterized by skin pain.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'algos' (pain), a straightforward medical term for any pain condition affecting skin. Many modern medical conditions are named this way by simply combining root meanings.
Dermalgia reminds us that pain isn't invisible—our skin can hurt in ways that traditional medicine struggled to classify, and naming it gives doctors a way to take skin pain seriously as its own condition.
