Study Notes
Cryosurgery
- Uses liquid nitrogen to kill tissue.
- Produces therapeutic tissue necrosis.
Electrosurgery
- Uses electricity to cut, destroy, and seal blood vessels.
- Cuts, destroys tissue, and cauterizes vessels.
Curettage
- Uses a curet (scraping instrument) to remove soft and superficial skin lesions.
Biopsy
- Used when the nature of a skin lesion or dermatitis is unclear.
- At least 2 specimens should be obtained before treatment for Bullous Pemphigoid.
Punch Biopsy
- A type of biopsy.
Shave Biopsy
- A type of biopsy.
Scissor Excision
- A surgical removal method using scissors.
Adnexal Disease
- Conditions affecting adnexal structures.
- Structures: folliculosebaceous-apocrine units and eccrine glands, differing developmental paths.
- Injuries or diseases in these structures are adnexal disease.
- Acne vulgaris: Most common dermatologic condition in the U.S.; prolonged acne and scarring can lead to low self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.
- Rosacea: Persistent facial redness (erythema); may present with inflamed bumps (papules and pustules), facial flushing, swelling (edema), and eye inflammation.
- Epidermis appendages: Adnexal structures (folliculosebaceous-apocrine units and eccrine glands); distinct developmental pathways; injury or disease = adnexal disease.
- Acne vulgaris: Common dermatologic condition in the U.S.; long-term acne and scarring can lead to low self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
- Rosacea: Characterized by persistent facial redness (erythema), potentially inflammatory bumps (papules and pustules), facial flushing, swelling (edema), and eye inflammation.
- Perioral dermatitis: Superficial, monomorphic pustules on an erythematous base, possibly with scaling, around the mouth.
- Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicles.
- Hidradenitis suppurativa: Chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle, leading to recurrent abscess formation.
- Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweat production.
- Bullous Pemphigoid: Autoimmune disorder; large, tense, subepidermal blisters; common on axillae, groin, trunk, and thighs.
- Treatment: Low-dose oral pulse methotrexate, biologics, hydroxyzine.
- Referral: Biopsy confirmation (at least 2 specimens), dentist/oral surgeon/otolaryngology for oropharyngeal lesions.
- Minimizing complications: Osteoporosis, GI protection.
- Note: Biopsy confirmation is required for treatment; at least two specimens must be collected before initiating treatment. Osteoporosis and gastrointestinal protection are factors to minimize, along with referral of oropharyngeal lesions to dentist, oral surgeon, or otolaryngologist.
