Inflammation of the skin; another term for dermatitis, characterized by redness, itching, and sometimes blistering.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + '-itis' (inflammation). This older medical term is now largely superseded by 'dermatitis' but remains in some medical contexts.
Dermitis might sound archaic, but historically it was the standard term before doctors settled on 'dermatitis'—medical terminology constantly evolves as the field modernizes.
