Scutulum

A scutulum is a yellow, perifollicular, saucerlike or cup-shaped crust with a cheesy odor, composed of dense mats of mycelia and epithelial debris. Scutula often occur on the scalp and are characteristic of favus.[1]

Morphology

  • Consists of a crust-like yellow lesion (sulphur cap)
  • Has a concave-convex surface with its convexity to the scalp making for itself an erosion or depression of epidermis, so it is firmly adherent to the scalp
  • Upon detachment it gives a serosangiunous discharge (serum and blood)
  • size : from a few millimetres to a few centimetres
gollark: No they didn't. They had to deliberately ADD a bug to demo it working.
gollark: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#photo-and-video-galleries has some things which apparently have AIish features.
gollark: I've never used it so it might be bad.
gollark: You *can* do that locally. There's software for it.
gollark: I vaguely remember reading that people just got rid of drives with bad sectors, since usually they would soon develop more bad sectors.
