Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.7K
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...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

78
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...

Papillary Dermis

7.1K
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...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

907
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.3K
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
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Actinic lichenoid dermatoses encompass a range of sun-induced skin conditions.
  • Distinguishing between similar clinical presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old female initially diagnosed with actinic lichen nitidus developed lesions consistent with actinic lichen planus three years later.
  • The new lesions presented as hyperpigmented macules and oval pink/violaceous plaques on the forearms and neck.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation demonstrated a potential evolution of disease within the spectrum of actinic lichenoid dermatoses.
  • Topical steroid treatment resulted in the resolution of the observed lesions at each visit.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering the broader spectrum of actinic lichenoid dermatoses when evaluating patients.
  • Recognizing disease progression or evolution in the same patient is vital for effective dermatological care.
