Definition: Escharotic is a condition where there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, known as "eschars," on the surface of the skin. It can occur on the hands or feet and is usually caused by a bacterial infection called candida. The skin cells that develop in these areas are then called escharocytes, which are similar to those found on the palms and soles of the feet. They may be red, itchy, and may spread to other parts of the body if left
