A

Atrophic (ice pick/box car), hypertrophic (keloidal)

27
Q

Acne scarring treatments

A

Neonatal acne morphology

A

Papule, pustules, no comedones

29
Q

A

No treatment required

32
Q

Infantile acne morphology

Comedones, papules, pustules, maybe nodulocysts

33
Q

Infantile acne age

A

3-6 months old

34
Q

Infantile acne causes

A

Possibly transient adrenal/gonadal androgen production

35
Q

Infantile acne treatment

A

Like teen acne, start with topicals, refer for further treatment

36

Childhood acne age

A

6 months or older

38
Q

Childhood acne treatment

A

Like teen acne, start with topicals, usually need oral medications

39
Q

Childhood acne 2-7 years old

A

Endocrine referral necessary if severe, X-ray for bone age, look at DHEAS, testosterone, 17OH progesterone, LH, FSH, prolactin

40
Q

Hidradenitis suppuritiva definition

A

Chronic acneiform inflammatory condition

41
Q

Hidradenitis suppuritiva morphology

A

Painful, draining sinuses on body folds

42
Q

Hidradenitis suppuritiva age

A

Pubertal or adults

43
Q

Hidradenitis suppuritiva treatment

A

Similar to severe inflammatory acne

44
Q

Folliculitis definition

A

Inflamed hair follicles where they are most dense (scalp, neck, chest, back, groin) with or without infection

45
Q

Folliculitis morphology

A

Follicularly-centered papule or pustules, can be itchy or painful, can be exacerbated in areas of occlusion or friction

46
Q

Folliculitis causes

A

Pseudomonas, pseudofolliculitis barba (razor bumps), tinea (barber’s itch)

47
Q

Hair growth steps

A

Anagen, catagen, telogen, return to anagen

48
Q

Alopecia definition

A

Hair loss, disruption in normal hair cycle

49
Q

Alopecia subtypes - loss or decreased development

A

Areata, androgenetic, trichotillomania, inflammatory/scarring, genetic

50
Q

Alopecia subtypes - shedding

A

Telogen effluvium, anagen effluvium

51
Q

Alopecia areata definition

A

Localized (scalp) autoimmune phenomenon that may be associated with other autoimmune conditions

52
Q

Alopecia areata morphology

A

Geometric, clean patterning, totalis (whole scalp) or universalis (whole body)

53
Q

Androgenic alopecia - male pattern

A

Distinct patterning, higher 5-alpha reductase level, lower testosterone, higher free androgens, hair follicle diminishes and produces less

54
Q

Androgenic alopecia - female pattern

A

Hair follicle diminishes and produces less, diffuse thinning or part thickening

55
Q

Trichotillomania

A

Hair pulling behavior disorder, OCD spectrum, possible anxiety/depression

56
Q

Anagen effluvium

A

Insult to hair follicle impairing mitotic activity, diffuse shedding of actively growing hairs

57
Q

Telogen effluvium

A

Abrupt shift occurs so all telogens are in phase, postpartum, illness or stress induced, diffuse shedding all at once of resting hair, spontaneous regrowth

58
Q

Acne histology

A

Dilated hair follicles with keratin debris, open for blackheads, closed for whiteheads, inflammatory cells may be present

59
Q

Hidradenitis suppurativa histology

A

Increased inflammatory cells in the follicle, hyperkeratosis, no/few/small sebaceous glands, inflammation, draining sinuses leave tracts of excess secretion

60
Q

Folliculitis histology

A

Increased inflammation, increased neutrophils, disruption or breaking of hair follicle

61
Q

Alopecia areata histology

A

Increased inflammation centered on the hair bulb, increased lymphocytes attacking hair bulb

62
Q

Androgenetic alopecia histology

A

Hair follicles decrease in size until they disappear, hair bulbs now in the dermis layer, sebaceous glands still present
