Q

What are the proposed treatment for nasodigital hyperkeratosis

A
  1. Removal of excess keratin (scissors, blade)
  2. Hydration (water soaks) + keratolytics (petroleum jell, ichthammol oint, propylene glycol, salicylic acid + sodium lactate + urea, tretinoin); Dermoscent Bio Balm (plant oils, allantoin, cetyl palmitate) SID x 2 months was partially effective
  3. Systemic retinoids (if topical treatment is not possible)
  4. Fissures: topical antibiotics + glucocorticoids

Q

Physiologic response to drugs and exfoliation

A
  1. Drugs used to treat surface or superficial follicular disorders: exfoliation due to involution of the underlying skin disease
