Abnormal enlargement or overgrowth of the skin tissue.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) and 'auxe' (increase or growth). This rare medical term specifically describes pathological skin enlargement, distinct from simple edema or swelling.
Unlike normal swelling (edema) which is just fluid buildup, dermatauxe involves the actual skin tissue itself growing thicker—the skin becomes permanently enlarged.
