- Identify and describe the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, and management of various skin disorders.
Topics
- Benign skin lesions
- Precancerous lesions
- Insects & parasites
- Envenomations & arthropod bite reactions
- Alopecia
- Diseases/disorders of the nails
- Viral/fungal skin diseases
- Verrucous lesions
Fitzpatrick Skin Types
- A scale for classifying skin types based on the reaction to sunlight
- Type I: White, always burns, never tans
- Type II: White, always burns, minimal tan
- Type III: White to olive, burns minimally, gradually tans
- Type IV: Light brown, burns minimally, tans well
- Type V: Brown, very rarely burns, tans profusely
- Type VI: Dark brown to black, never burns, tans deeply
Benign Lesions - Seborrheic Keratosis
- Most common benign epithelial tumor
- Hereditary, rare before 30 years old, more common in men
- Skin-colored, tan, brown, black
- Small papules to larger plaques with a warty surface ("stuck-on" appearance)
- Stippling on the surface
- Located on the face, trunk, and upper extremities
- No treatment usually necessary, cryotherapy if bothersome
Acanthosis Nigricans
- Velvet, thickened, hyperpigmented skin on the neck, axilla, groin, and other body folds
- Related to obesity, endocrine disorders, diabetes, drugs, corticosteroids, and malignancy
- Can be common at puberty
- Treatment: Address underlying disorders, retinoids (difficult to completely eradicate)
Cherry Angiomas/Hemangiomas
- Very common erythematous papule, typically less than 3mm
- Can be violaceous or black
- Asymptomatic, usually on the trunk, benign
- Typically seen in individuals over 30
- Treatment: Laser or electrocoagulation, Cryo not effective
Precancerous Lesions - Actinic Keratosis
- Single or multiple, discrete, pinkish, dry, rough, or adherent scaly lesions
- Not well demarcated
- Usually found on sun-exposed skin of adults (outdoor workers)
- Middle-aged individuals, more common in women
- Typically less than 1cm, round or oval
- Rough, like coarse sandpaper
- Possibly tender, painful if excoriated
- Precursor lesion of squamous cell carcinoma
- Treatment: Cryotherapy, laser surgery, 5-fluorouracil cream, imiquimod cream
Cryosurgery
- A method for treating skin lesions involving freezing the affected area
- The burn damages the skin lesion, causing it to die
Insects/Parasites
- Lice
- Scabies
Pediculosis (Lice)
- Infestation by Pediculus Humanus Capitis (head lice) or Phthirus pubis ("crabs")
- Eggs (nits) on hair shafts, possibly eyelashes
- Transmission: hats, caps, brushes, combs, pillows, crowded environments,poor hygiene
- Symptoms: itching of the scalp and back of the neck
- Diagnosis: Clinical (visual inspection), Lice/Nit comb
- Treatment: Over-the-counter treatments (permethrin cream rinse, benzyl alcohol), prescription treatments (ivermectin lotion, Lindane, Malathion)
Scabies
- Infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei
- Intense itching (pruritic)
- Burrows, vesicles, nodules, excoriations
- Can look like urticaria, drug reactions, eczema
- Treatment: Elimite (Permethrin), Ivermectin, Topical steroids, Antihistamines
Spider Bites
- Bites from Latrodectus (widow spiders) or Loxosceles (recluse spiders)
- Mild initial pain; systemic symptoms are possible
- Latrodectism: Usually on extremities causing pain, rigidity & muscle pain
- Treatment for Latrodectism: depends on severity (wound care, PO & IV analgesics, benzos, Antivenom)
- Loxoscelism: Red, plaque or papule with possible vesicles, can be asymptomatic to pain/burning
- Treatment for Loxoscelism: wound care, analgesics, tetanus prophylaxis, surgical debridement (severe cases)
Alopecia
- Hair loss
- Hair loss may be related to various factors or conditions
- Scarring and Non-scarring
- Treatment can vary depending on the type of alopecia
Disorders of the Hair & Nails
- Onychomycosis (toenail fungus)
- Paronychia
Onychomycosis (Tinea Unguium)
- Fungal infection of fingernails or toenails
- Brittle, thickened, yellowing, and friable (easily broken) nails; with subungual debris
- Confirmed through KOH prep (hyphae) and fungal cultures
- Difficult to treat; therapy is often lengthy and prone to recurrence
- Indications for treatment: discomfort, inability to exercise, diabetes (DM), immunocompromise
- Treatment often includes topical antifungals (limited), griseofulvin, terbinafine, itraconazole. Must monitor ANC and d/c medication if ANC <1000.
Paronychia
- Infection of lateral or proximal nail folds (painful)
- Can be acute or chronic
- Risk factors: hangnails, thumb sucking, nail biting, diabetes (DM), manicures, dishwashing
- Treatment: skin care (warm soaks), PO antibiotics, triple antibiotic cream, and /or I&D of abscess
Viral Diseases
- Dermatophytes/Tinea
- Condyloma acuminatum
- Molluscum contagiosum
- Herpes simplex
- Varicella-zoster virus infections
- Verrucae
Fungal Infections
- Candidiasis (oral, cutaneous, genital)
Verrucae (Warts)
- Common warts, also known as plantar, genital warts related to HPV
- Usually asymptomatic, but may cause tenderness or itching
- May have spontaneous resolution
- Treatment: Salicylic/lactic acid, imiquimod cream, cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen), laser surgery
