title: Fulminans in dermatology: a call to action: a recommendation for consideration of the term scleredema fulminans.
abstract: The term fulminans is used infrequently in dermatology, being reserved for those cases of rapid onset with potentially severe sequelae or those that are life-threatening, thereby warranting urgent intervention. In this commentary, the authors propose that the term scleredema fulminans be utilized in severe, progressive cases of scleredema adultorum of Buschke presenting with rapid onset.
