Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Skin frequently has a red hue due the haemoglobin in superficial blood vessels and which is more prominent in inflammation. This brief chapter discusses localized redness seen in vascular tumours and extravascular haemoglobin from damaged blood vessels in conditions such as capillaritis. Topically applied dyes, for example henna, may also give a red/brown colouration and mercury (cinnabar) containing tattoos are reddish. Rarely drugs, including clofazimine or vancomycin, may be the cause of a more general erythema. Carbon monoxide poisoning imparts a cherry-red colour to the skin due to carboxyhaemoglobin formation. Abnormal porphyrin accumulation seen in erythropoietic porphyria is a rare cause.
