[lee-usmle]

Nikolsky's sign is a buzzword that should lead us to think of a number of skin conditions. However, frequently, the USMLE question maker will not often tell you the name out-rightly instead they usually describe it. Common descriptions include one of the two followings:
Rubbing the skin leads to sloughing of skin.
Lateral traction of the surrounding skin leads to sloughing (desquamation).

Now what causes that we should be thinking of?

• Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome
• Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
• Bullous impetigo
• Pemphigus vulgaris (but not bullous pemphigoid) Read more
• Epidermolysis bullosa
• Second degree and Third degree burns
