SD & AV Flashcards
Def of Seborrheic Dermatitis
- A common erythematous scaling eruption that is localized to the seborrheic sites.
Etiology of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Pityrosporum ovale may play a role.
Pathogenesis of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Prevalence of Seborrheic Dermatitis
eczematous form is estimated at 5%
Age affected by Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Usually begins in adolescence (9-11 years) (with puberty) peak at age 40
- Uncommon in preadolescent childhood (exclude t.capitis)
- Infantile SD
which sex is more commnly affected by Seborrheic Dermatitis?
More common in males than females. (M > F)
what are sites of Seborrheic Dermatitis?
- Scalp, behind ears, face
- Pre-sternal and interscapular areas
- flexures (umbilicus, axilla, infra-mammary, inguinal fold, perineum or anogenital crease.
Lesions of Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Scalp
- Ears
- Eyebrows & Beard
- Galbrous skin
- Nasolabial fold
- Eyelid margin
Scalp lesions of Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Non inflammatory (dandruff) (pityriasis capitis)
- Inflammatory (seborrheic eczema)
Shape of Non inflammatory
(dandruff) (pityriasis capitis) SD
Diffuse fine white (branny) or greasy scales
Characters of Non inflammatory
(dandruff) (pityriasis capitis) SD
what is the mildest form of SD?
Non inflammatory
(dandruff) (pityriasis capitis) SD
Characters of Inflammatory Scalp SD (seborrheic eczema)
SD in Ears
- retro-auricular scaling, crusting and fissuring.
Persistent non purulent otitis externa may occur.
SD in Eyebrows and beard
fine scaling
SD in Glabrous skin
diffuse redness.
SD in nasolabial fold
greasy scales.
SD in Eyelid margin
seborrheic blepharitis.
SD of facial skin
SD of trunk
Flexures (inverse SD) (axillae, groins, sub-mammary areas and umbilicus)
erythematous patches with maceration and oozing.
Types of inverse SD
- Scaling Intertrigo
- Non-Scaling Intertrigo
- Crusted Fissures
- Weeping Dermatitis
- Sebopsoriasis
Scaling intertrigo
- Sharply marginated erythema and greasy scaling
Non scaling intertrigo
May be erythema only
Weeping dermatilis
- Due to sweating, secondary infection, and inappropriate treatment,
- Erythema, maceration, oozing, crusting.
Sebopsoriasis
- features of both psoriasis and SD.
Severity varies from mild dandruff to exfoliative erythroderma
..
Examples of Extensive SD
- Erythrodermic: rare
- HIV infection
- Parkinson’s disease (with seborrhoea)
Adult SD

Introduction to TTT of SD
2 steps regimen in TTT of SD
Def of Infantile SD
- SD inearly infancy due to stimulation of sebaceous glands by maternalandroge
Charachters of Infantile SD
- simulates SD in adult, but the scaling on the scalp is thick forming yellowish heaped lesion (cradle cap).
Onset of Infantile SD
- Begins 2-8 weeks after birth
Healing of Infantile SD
- The lesions usually subside within 3-4 weeks.
- May persist for several months

Def of Acne Vulgaris
- Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous apparatus, characterized by formation of comedones.
Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris
4 major factors (multifactorial disorder) are involved in the pathogenesis of acne in the genetically predisposed person.
- Increased sebum secretion
- Hyperkeratosis of pilosebaceous duct
- Propionibacterium acne (P. acne) colonizes pilosebaceous duct
- Propionibacterium acne (P. acne) colonizes pilosebaceous duct
Increased sebum secreation
(Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris)
- which may result from increased local synthesis of androgen in sebaceous glands or increased response to it.
Hyperkeratosis of pilosebaceous duct (Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris)
Propionibacterium acne (P. acne) colonizes (Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris)
- Pilosebaceous duct and contributes in the formation of comedones and pustules.
Inflammation
(Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris)
initiated by P:acne
what causes Hyperkeratosis of pilosebaceous duct?
results from the irritant effect of excess sebum.
what does Obstruction of pilosebaceous duct result in?
result in comedones which consist of horny cells, sebum, and bacteria.
