Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Medical Record
Please help me to translate this word combination in the following context:

Visita dermatologica (31/10/19): eruzione vescicolosa come sudamina. Si consiglia breve ciclo con cortisonico topico per accelerare la risoluzione e, se possibile, riduzione della occlusione da appoggio.

Discussion

philgoddard May 10:
Yes, it literally means 'from resting against something'. I think pressure occlusion would work, and you could possibly also say friction or contact.
JudyC May 10:
"da appoggio" in this context is usually "pressure" as in "pressure sores/ulcers/injuries"

This reference text mentions "microcirculatory occlusion due to pressure" in critically ill patients
It's a nurse's PhD thesis in pdf. I can't link it directly but here's the title:

"Exploring body morphology, skin microcirculation and microclimate in patients with a critical illness. "

Diagnosis of Miliaria

Clinical evaluation

Diagnosis of miliaria is by clinical appearance in the context of a hot environment or skin occlusion (eg, patients who are hospitalized or bedridden and who lie with their back against the hospital bed for prolonged periods).

Treatment of Miliaria

Measures to cool and dry the skin
For the rash, topical corticosteroids
Sergey Pashchenko (asker) May 10:
Thank you, Fiona, for responding so quickly.
There is nothing else concerning the skin. This is the full text of the dermatologist's report. The localization of the rash is not specified. It may be useful to know that this is a bedridden patient with cervical vertebral injuries from a road traffic accident.
Please provide more context The more context you can provide, the better. What body part is this? Is there any text following the part you've quoted?

Suppurative occlusion

Dermatological examination (31/10/19): vesicular eruption as sudamina. A short course with topical corticosteroids is recommended to accelerate resolution and, if possible, reduction of the suppurative occlusion.
In inflammation: Suppuration. The process of pus formation, called suppuration, occurs when the agent that provoked the inflammation is difficult to eliminate. Pus is a viscous liquid that consists mostly of dead and dying neutrophils and bacteria, cellular debris, and fluid leaked from blood vessels.

Just from assessing the context given; occlusion formed by the build-up of pus under the skin.

The retained sweat manifests as miliaria rubra—erythematous, minute papulovesicles that may impart a prickling sensation.

The lesions are most commonly localized to***** sites of occlusion or flexural areas, such as the neck, groin, and axillae*****, where friction may contribute to their pathogenesis. Involved skin may become macerated and eroded.
