Summary We report our experience, and review the literature, concerning ‘intensive care dermatology’. Over a period of 14 months, 27 patients who had significant cutaneous problems were seen in the intensive care unit. These included primary dermatological conditions, multisystem disorders with cutaneous signs, complications of dermatological therapy, and skin conditions developing as complications of intensive care. We discuss the diagnosis and management of dermatological problems in the intensive care unit.
