Cutaneous signs play a significant role in clinical medicine. Signs have often been named after the initial observer. They may indicate either dermatologic or systemic illness and aid the examiner in diagnosis and relevant investigations. Some are specific, some have been described in other conditions, and few have lost their relevance. Most of the signs are related to the pathogenesis of the disease but the cause of some is not clear.
皮肤体征在临床医学中起着重要作用。体征通常以最初观察到的人命名。它们可能表明皮肤病或全身性疾病，并有助于检查者进行诊断和相关检查。有些体征具有特异性，有些在其他病症中也有描述，少数已失去相关性。大多数体征与疾病的发病机制有关，但有些体征的病因尚不清楚。
