In which of the following condition, 'cutis anserina' is seen?
High-Yield Explanation
Cutis anserina or goose-skin or goose-flesh is seen in drowning, in which the skin has granular and puckered appearance. It is produced by the spasm of the erector pilae muscles, attached to each hair follicle. It may occur on submersion of the body in cold water immediately after death, while the muscles were still in warm and irritable. It is also produced by rigor mois of the erector muscles.
