LOINC description : A description of the skin around the wound (periwound). Color, induration, warmth
and edema should be assessed. Redness of the surrounding skin can be indicative of
unrelieved pressure. Irritation of the surrounding skin can result from exposure to
feces or urine, a reaction to the dressing or tape, or inappropriate removal of dressing
or tape. Redness, tenderness, warmth and swelling are classical clinical signs of
infection. [Reference: Brown, P., 2009];
