Glossary Skin Temperature

temperature at the skin's surface influenced by blood flow

Skin temperature, also known as cutaneous temperature, refers to the temperature at the surface of the skin. It is influenced by various factors including ambient temperature, blood flow, and metabolic activity. Monitoring skin temperature can provide insights into a person's thermoregulatory processes and overall health, and it is often used in clinical settings to assess conditions like fever, hypothermia, or peripheral vascular disease.
