Relating to or causing desquamation; characterized by shedding or peeling of skin or tissue layers.
From desquamation with the suffix -ory (relating to or serving to). The -ory suffix creates adjectives describing function or relation.
Both 'desquamative' and 'desquamatory' describe the same thing, showing how medical language sometimes develops multiple technical synonyms—doctors can choose based on which sounds more authoritative in a given context.
