A

1 month

21
Q

To ensure excellent absorption, isotretinoin should be taken with

A

high fat meal

22
Q

Follicular occlusion triad

A
  1. Hidradenitis sup- purativa
    2.dissecting cellulitis of the scalp
  2. with acne conglobata,
23
Q

A second course of isotretinoin may be done in acne conglobata if resolution does not occur after a rest period of _______

A

2 months

24
Q

Rare form of extremely severe cystic acne that occurs in teenage boys

Highly inflammatory nodules and plaques that undergo swift suppurative degeneration

Fever, arthralgia, myopathy

A

acne fulminans

25
Q

Treatment of acne fulminans

A

Prednisone, 40–60 mg, is necessary during the initial 4–8 weeks to calm the dramatic inflammatory response of acne fulminans.

After 4 weeks 10–20 mg of isotretinoin is added. This should be slowly increased to standard doses and contin- ued for a full 120–150 mg/kg cumulative course. Large cysts may be opened and the contents expressed.

Intralesional cor- ticosteroids will aid their resolution. Infliximab and dapsone are alternatives if isotretinoin is contraindicated.

26
Q

SAPHO syndrome meaning

A

Synovitis
Acne
Pustulosis,
Hyperostosis, and
Osteitis.

27
Q

Most potent acneiform inducing agents

A

The most potent acneiform- inducing agents are the polyhalogenated hydrocarbons, notably dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin).

28
Q

Occurs in px who have had long periods of moderate acne and have been treated with long term antobiotics (tetracycline)

A

gram negative folliculitis

29
Q

Treatment of choice for gram negative folliculitis

A

isotretenoin

2nd line/ if isotret is contraindicated:
amoxicillin
TMP-SMX

30
Q

Primarily a cicatricial alopecia variant

Persistent folliculitis of the back and neck
Fibrosis with coalescence of papules into plaques over time

May have sinus tracts

A

acne keloidalis

31
Q

Recurrent abscess formation within the folded areas of skin that contain terminal hairs and apocrine glands

A

hidradenitis suppurativa

32
Q

Primary site of inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa

A

terminal hair

33
Q

Most frequently affected site in hidradenitis suppurativa

A

axilla

34
Q

Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa

A
  1. intralesional steroid therapy, which may be used initially in combination with topical Cleocin or oral doxycycline or minocycline.
  2. topical daily cleansing with chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibiclens) solu- tion or benzoyl peroxide wash is an important preventive measure.
  3. laser hair removal,
  4. Antibiotics : tetra- cyclines amoxicillin, TMP-SMX DS, or dapsone. etra- cyclines amoxicillin, TMP-SMX DS, or dapsone, IV ertapenem

5.Isotretinoin and acitretin

  1. TNF antagonists: infliximab and adalimumab
  2. Photodynamic therapy and Nd:YAG laser
  3. Severe recalcitrant hidradenitis suppura- tiva responded to the approach reported by van Rappard: combination clindamycin and rifampin, each 300 mg twice daily for 2 to 4 months.
  4. wide surgical excision once inflammation is controlled

NOTE: INCISION AND DRAINAGE IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED

35
Q

Follicular inflammatory nodules in the scalp that progress to abscess
Scarring and alopecia

A

36
Q

Most favored sites in dissecting cellulitis of the scalp

A

vertex and occiput

37
Q

Treatment of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp

A
  1. oral antibiotics: tetracyclines, TMP-SMX, quinolones
  2. if S. aureus is cultured: oral rifampin and clindamycin
  3. intralesional steroids + isotretenoin 0.5-1 mkd for 6-12 mos.
  4. anti- TNF: infliximab and adalimumab
  5. retinoid alitretinoin
  6. marsupialization
  7. Nd:YAG laser
38
Q

Persistent erythema of the convex surfaces of the face (cheeks and nose most common)

A

rosacea

39
Q

Rhinophyma occurs in what subtype of rosacea

A

glandular subtype of rosacea

40
Q

Topical and oral therapy for rosacea

A

Pyoderma faciale

42
Q

Pyoderma faciale is differentated from acne by

A

It is distinguished from acne by the absence of comedones, rapid onset, fulminating course, and absence of acne on the back and chest

43
Q

Treatment of pyoderma faciale

A
  1. oral steroids , ffd by addition of isotretinoin 10-20 mg, increasing to 0.5–1 mg/kg only after the acute inflammatory component is well under control.
  2. for pregnant: amoxicillin, eryth- romycin, azithromycin, or clindamycin
44
Q

A

use of fluorinated topical corticosteroids

45
Q

Treatment of perioral dermatitis

A
  1. discontinuing topical corticosteroids or protecting the skin from the inhaled product.
  2. doxycycline will lead to control.
  3. Tacro- limus ointment 0.1% or pimecrolimus cream will prevent flaring after stopping steroid use.
