Eschar is dead tissue that sheds from healthy skin. It is caused by a burn or cauterization. An escharotic is a substance (such as acids, alkalies, carbon dioxide, or metallic salts) that causes the tissue to die and shed.

In the most serious of the degrees of burns, the skin is charred and will separate from the body in a type of scab called an eschar. With an eschar, the victim is not in pain because the burns have destroyed the nerve endings in the skin.
It may subsequently vesiculate and ulcerate, with formation of a central black eschar. The illness is self-limiting in the majority of patients, but occasionally perivesicular oedema and regional lymphadenopathy may be marked, and toxaemia can occur.
Cutaneous anthrax begins as a blister on the skin that, within two to six days, develops into a vesicle which, when ruptured, reveals a depressed ulcer covered by a black eschar, or scab.
Lesions are typically ulcers with a steep, undermined edge. The central eschar is tenacious, and is gray to black in color. Lesions may also be less distinctive.
There may be an associated lymphadenopathy.
