Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.4K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.2K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.7K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

2.9K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

81
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune Blistering Diseases

Background:

  • Seborrheic pemphigoid (SP) is a rare variant of bullous pemphigoid (BP).
  • SP clinically resembles pemphigus erythematosus, featuring ruptured bullae and crust-covered erosions in seborrheic areas.
  • Only four cases of SP have been previously reported, with two in the English literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an additional case of seborrheic pemphigoid.
  • To highlight the occurrence of SP in a patient with significant mobility limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation.
  • Review of existing literature on seborrheic pemphigoid.

Main Results:

  • An additional case of seborrheic pemphigoid is presented.
  • The patient is a 56-year-old male with cervical spondylogenic myelopathy and severe mobility impairment.
  • This case contributes to the limited reported instances of SP.

Conclusions:

  • Seborrheic pemphigoid is an exceptionally rare condition.
  • The presentation of SP in patients with comorbidities like severe immobility warrants further investigation.
  • Increased reporting of SP cases is crucial for understanding this rare variant of BP.
