| − | ===Low temperature damage===
| |
| − | *Prolonged cold can cause ice crystal formation and vascular injury resultic in damage to tissue due to increased intracellular salt concentration
| |
| − | *Slow chilling can cause vasoconstriction, cellular damage -> secondary vasodilation and increased permeability -> oedema
| |
| − | *Severe and persistent cold causes vasoconstriction, increase in blood viscosity and tissue anoxia
| |
| − | *Lesions may occur in wet or hypoglycaemic neonates or animals recently moved from warm to cold environment
| |
| − | *Areas affected are extremities
| |
| − | *Lesions consist of [[Necrosis - Pathology#Gangrene|gangrene]] and necrotic tissue

| − | ===High temperature damage===
| |
| − | *May result from excessive heat, liquids, flames, friction, lightning, electricity
| |
| − | *Partial or full thickness burns (first, second and third degree burns)
| |
| − | *Full thickness burns:
| |
| − | **Total destruction of skin and adnexa
| |
| − | **Has to be repaired by grafting
| |
| − | **Life threatening
| |
| − | *Partial thickness burns:
| |
| − | **Some structures preserved -> regeneration may occur
| |
| − | **Grossly:
| |
| − | ***Erythema (capillary dilation)
| |
| − | ***Oedema (increased permeability of capillaries)
| |
| − | ***Vesicles
| |

| |
| − | ***Subepidermal vesiculation
| |
| − | ***Necrosis of adnexa
| |
| − | ***Degenerated subepidermal collagen
| |

| − | ==Sunlight damage==
| |
| − | *Transient erythema may develop into sunburn erythema (warmth, swelling, pain)
| |
| − | *Diffusion of inflammatory mediators (''e.g.'' cytokines) from damaged keratinocytes and endothelial cells
| |
| − | *Photooxidation of existing melanin -> pigment darkening
| |
| − | *Melanogenesis
| |
| − | *Immune responses of skin are reduced by UV light

| − | ===Solar dermatosis and neoplasia===
| |
| − | *Caused by chronic sunlight damage
| |
| − | *Damaged tissue generates free radicals than may damage nucleis acids and proteins
| |
| − | *If damage repaired prior to mitosis - no lasting effect
| |
| − | *If mitosis occurs before repair, post-mitotic repair is prone to faults and DNA mutations may result in neoplasia

| − | ===Solar dermatitis===
| |
| − | *Particularly in white animals and where little or no hair is present
| |
| − | *Grossly:
| |
| − | **[[Skin Glossary - Pathology|Erythema, scaling and crusting]]
| |
| − | **-> Wrinkled nand thickened skin
| |
| − | ** Squamous cell carcinoma or haemangiosarcoma/haemangioma may develop

| − | **Dermatomyositis
| |
| − | **Pemphigus erythematosus
| |
| − | *Vasculitis in extremities, especially white-haired horses
| |
| − | *Grossly:

| − | **Erythematous, well circumscribed crusted lesions or hyperkeratotic [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|plaques]]
| |
| − | *Microscopically:
| |
| − | **Vasculitis of superficial dermal vessels
| |
