V
Average tanning, sometimes burns
III
Easily tans, rarely burns

Tans with difficulty, usually burns
II
Never burns
VI
Acquired autoimmune disorder against melanocyte
vitiligo
Microscopic finding in vitiligo
complete absence of melanocyte
Vitiligo common location
periorificial
acral
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa = genetic defect in
collage VII
Recessive dystrophic EB
clinical?
extensive dystrophic scarring can produce pseudosyndactyly
flexion contractures
Increased risk of SCC
Infection complications
Anitbodies to BP230 or BP180 in hemidesmosomes cause?
bullous pemphigoid
autoantibodies to desmoglein 1 and 3 cause?
pemphigus vulgaris
primary skin lesion in pemphigus vulgaris
flaccid bulla
pathology of pemphigus vulgaris?
intraepidermal blisters
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex = genetic defect in?
genetic defects in keratin 5 and 14
lacking proteins within desmosomes
EB simplex
- clinical
generalized onset of blisters occuring shortly after birth
hands, feet, and extremities are the most common involvement
improves with age
icthyosis vulgaris / atopic dermatitis are caused by?
defective skin barrier function due to loss-of function filaggrin mutations
what happens when patients have mutated filaggrin?
they have significantly redcued levels of NMF in (natural moisturizing factor) in the SC and exhibit increased transepidermal water loss
Papillary dermis
- composition
- interlocks with
- function (2)
upper layer thin collagen bundles interlocks with epidermal rete increases strength increases surface area
Reticular dermis
- composition
Reticular dermis
deeper layer
thick collagen bundles
visible elastic fibers
Major consituents of dermis (3)
collagen - tensile
elastin - resilience
ground substance - diffusion
acquired disorder of elastin
solar elastosis
congenital disorder of elastin
pseudoxanthoma elasticum
acquired blistering disorder of DEJ
Bullous pemphigoid
congenital blistering disorder of DEJ
Epidermolysis bullosa
Proximal sunungual white onychomycosis associated with?
due to?
HIV
Trichophyton rubrum
Growing hair?
anagen
Involuting hair?
catagen
Resting hair?
telogen
Anagen effluvium =
Loss of growing hairs - often due to chemo
Telogen effluvium =
Hairs go into resing cycle
- may be due to medication / post partum
Dermititis synonym =
eczema
Seborrheic dermatitis = in bambinos
cradle cap
Irritant dermititis synonym
intertrigo
when you see reddening / dermatitis in the extensor area think of a defect in ?
filaggrin
Lower extremity edema = associated with
stasis dermatitis
Malassezia furfur = associated with
seborrheic dermatitis
defective filaggrin = associated with
atopic dermatitis
common irritants = associated with
irritant dermatitis
common allergens = associated wtih
allergic contact dermatitis
