The injection or infusion of liquid medicine into the skin, a technique used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'enchysis' (infusion/injection). This medical technique term emerged as physicians developed methods for delivering medicine directly into skin tissue.
Dermenchysis is rarely used today because we have better injection methods, but it was an early precursor to intradermal injections, where medicine is delivered between skin layers.
