derm 2 Flashcards
Other term for pityriasis versicolor + etiology
- Tinea versicolor
2. Superficial fungal infection
treatment of pityriasis versicolor
Antiseborrheic shampoos or lotions (selenium sulfide or ketoconazole)
Treatment of epidermal inclusion cyst/sebaceous cyst
Excision, not I&D (need to remove epithelial lining)
Treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis
Dapsone to induce remission + gluten free diet for long term control
Dermatitis herpetiformis clinical features
small tense papules + Vesicular + extremely pruritic, so excoriations on elbows, knees, buttocks
Dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis
skin biopsy (IgA deposition)
Dermatophyte infection clinical features
annular scaly patch (don’t necessarily have to have central clearing)
Treatment of tinea pedis
Topical Azole or terbinafine cream BID for 2-4 weeks (avoid oral azoles)
Differential for lower extremity ulcers
PAD, DM2, *venous stasis ulcers
Treatment of venous stasis ulcer
Compression therapy
Location + clinical features of venous stasis ulcers
- Distal lower leg (particularly medial aspect of the ankle)
- Irregular border + surrounding hyperpigmentation + thickened surrounding skin and subcutaneous tissues + surrounding varicose veins and edema
- Result from minor trauma, medical procedure, or acute stasis dermatitis flare
Porphyria cutanea tarda clinical features
Skin fragility + small, easily ruptured vesicles in sun-exposed areas, which then rupture, forming erosions, dyspigmentation, scarring. mainly hands
Common initial site of involvement with pemphigus vulgaris
Oral mucosa
What to evaluate patients with seborrheic dermatitis for?
HIV (not hyperlipidemia) (extremely common among patients with HIV)
Cause of Xanthoma?
secondary to dyslipidemia, different subtypes associaed with hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia
Eruptive xanthomas clinical features
Rapid onset of numerous yellow papules with surrounding erythema + extensor surfaces of extremities and buttocks
Eruptive xanthoma association
hypertriglyceridemia
Tuberous xanthoma association
familial hypercholesterolemia
Tuberous xanthoma vs. eruptive xanthoma
Tuberous are larger (up to 3 cm)
Management of actinic keratosis that recurrs after cryotherapy
Biopsy (may be a basal or SCC), never proceed directly to wide local excision for BCC or SCC
Other skin manifestation of amyloidosis
- yellow waxy papules and plaques around eyes (look like xanthomas)
Treatment of pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP)
Topical steroids (topical steroids are safe in pregnancy)
AK management vs basal cell
- basal cell = wide local excision
- AK = cryotherapy and surgical procedures, are the primary approach for isolated lesions [3]. Field-directed therapies, such as topical fluorouracil, imiquimod, and PDT, are particularly useful for treating areas with multiple AKs.
Pemphigus vulgaris diagnosis
- punch biopsy with immunofluorescent staining
Miliaria presentation
- lesions ranging from small, thin-walled vesicles (miliaria crystallina) to erythematous papules and pustules (militia rubra)
- flesh colored papules and or pustules (miliaria profunda)
keratosis pilaris cause + clinical features
- retained keratin from plugged hair follicles
- pruritic or pustular lesions in upper arms (most common), face, trunk, and lower extremities
- worse in cold and dry climates
folliculitis presentation
- erythematous, pustular eruption
- lesions can be asymptomatic or cause significant pruritus and pain
treatment of miliaria
sweat reduction with cool baths, compresses, or light and loose clothing
Presentation of poorly differentiated SCC
IF poorly differentiated – fleshy, soft, granulomatous papules and nodules
- can ulcerate, bleed, become necrotic, or cause pain and pruritus
pyogenic granuloma presentation
- small red papule that grows rapidly over weeks to months + friable and can bleed with minor trauma
When you can discontinue cervical cancer screening
- prior adequate screening + no significant RF’s for cervical cancer (immunosuprresion, multiple sexual partners, tobacco use or STI hx, history of HSIL)
larva migrans clinical features
- serpigenous red or brown lesion (due to larva migration) + pruritic + commonly from sand and soil in Caribbean, Africa, Southeast Asia
- hookworm infection
