Skin

Normal desquamation, nonpathologic skin occurs when keratinocytes, after moving normally more than about 14 days, individually spill unconsciously. Obquamation is apparent but nonpathologic can be observed after soaking the skin in warm or hot water, pushing the top layer of dead skin cells to shed and thus is a common result of the use of a hot shower or bath. In pathological desquamation, as seen in X-linked ichthyosis, the stratum corneum becomes thicker (hyperkeratosis), giving a "dry" or scaly appearance to the skin, and instead of separating as a single cell, corneocytes are shed in groups, forming a visible scale. Desquamation of the epidermis can occur due to disease or injury to the skin. For example, once the measles rash fades, desquamation occurs. Skin peels usually occur after first-degree burns or burns of skin burns. Toxic shock syndrome, a potentially fatal immune system reaction to a bacterial infection such as Staphylococcus aureus, may cause severe desquamation; so did mercury poisoning. Other serious skin diseases involving extreme desquamation include Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Radiation can cause deskuamasi dry or wet.

Eyes

Eye tissues including the conjunctiva and cornea may experience pathological desquamation in diseases such as dry eye syndrome. The anatomy of the human eye makes the lens desquamation impossible.
