dermal + noun

用法筆記

Attributive only — 'dermal' is placed before the noun it describes (e.g. dermal patch, dermal layer). It is not used after linking verbs such as 'be' or 'seem'.

常見錯誤

❌The reaction is dermal.
✅The patient had a dermal reaction.
💡'dermal' is attributive only and cannot follow a linking verb like 'be'.
❌Apply this dermal to the rash.
✅Apply this dermal cream to the rash.
💡'dermal' is an adjective, not a noun; it must modify a noun such as 'cream', 'patch', or 'filler'.
