Pain originating in the skin, distinct from pain due to underlying nerve or muscle damage.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) and 'odyne' (pain). This medical term specifically isolates pain that has its source in skin tissue itself.
Dermatodynia can occur when skin is sunburned or severely irritated—it's different from neuropathic pain because the problem is in the skin cells themselves, not the nerves.
