Champagne (Medicine)
Champagne (pronunciation: /ʃæmˈpeɪn/) is a term used in medicine to describe a specific color of skin lesions or rashes that resemble the color of champagne. It is not a medical condition itself, but a descriptive term used in dermatology.
Etymology
The term 'Champagne' in this context is derived from the French word for the sparkling wine, due to the similar color. The use of the term in medicine is metaphorical, and does not imply any connection to the beverage.
