Answer scenario using five combining form terms. Joe went to the dermatologist (derm/o) for an abrasion that had developed into a deep cutaneous (cutane/o) lesion and had started to become subungual (ungu/o). He presented with an epidermal (derm/o) pustule, erythema(erythr/o), and xerosis (xer/o). The patient reported that transdermal (derm/o) ointments were not effective.
