意味（1）

(medicine) A superficial structure of dead tissue, usually hardened, commonly, but not necessarily dark, adhering to underlying living or necrotic tissue, caused by gangrene or a burn

...stable intact eschar on the heels should not be removed. Blood flow in the tissue under the eschar is poor and the wound is susceptible to infection.

意味（2）

(loose or obsolete) Any hard, dark, commonly flattened or sunken lesion or crust, especially on a burn, abscess, infection, wound; commonly a coagulation of blood or exudations, not necessarily involving dead or necrotic tissue.

When the caustic is removed, the eschar should be punctured for the discharge of the matter, and then dressed with warm emollient poultices...

意味（3）

(figurative or literary) The emotional imprint of a trauma such as grief, loss, or degradation

In another minute there was no letter; but, as with every other relationship in my life, an eschar of ashes. The word is rare, but exact.
