Q

What is hyperkeratosis? What is the cause (primary and secondary)? What are some examples?

A

Abnormalities of cornification: Hyperkeratosis
• Excessive thickening or hyperplasia of the stratum corneum.
• Cause

• Primary - Mutation (lipid, enzyme, structural protein)
• Example: ichthyosis • Secondary - Chronic irritation
• Example: Allergic skin disease, endocrine disorders, parasitic and bacterial infections.

Q

What is primary seborrhea? What is it controversial?

A

• Used to describe excessive scaling
• NOT a diagnosis
• Need to rule out other causes of scaling (e.g. ectoparasitism, metabolic diseases and endocrinopathies, allergic disease, etc.)
• Likely represents a variety of conditions such as pyoderma,

Q

What is epidermal hyperplasia? When may this occur?

A

• Epidermal hyperplasia (= acanthosis)
• Thickening due to increased number of
cells within the epidermis, especially of the stratum spinosum.
• A common response to chronic irritation
such as inflammation, trauma, metabolic or nutritional disorders
• Example: acral lick dermatitis
