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...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

2.1K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.9K
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...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

951
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Signs of Puberty

2.1K
Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with high prevalence in young children (10-30%).
  • AD often persists into adolescence, affecting 5-15% of European adolescents.
  • Persistence from childhood to adolescence occurs in approximately 40% of AD cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the characteristics and challenges of atopic dermatitis persistence in adolescence.
  • To identify risk factors and specific manifestations of adolescent AD.
  • To highlight the impact of AD on adolescent psychological well-being and quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies on adolescent atopic dermatitis.
  • Analysis of prevalence data in European populations.
  • Identification of risk factors, clinical presentations, and associated comorbidities.

Main Results:

  • AD persists from childhood into adolescence in about 40% of cases.
  • Risk factors include female sex, allergen sensitization, and allergic comorbidities.
  • Adolescent AD commonly affects the face, neck, palms, and soles, sometimes with Malassezia overinfection.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent AD is associated with psychological issues like anxiety and peer relationship difficulties.
  • Psychological distress significantly worsens the quality of life for adolescents with AD.
  • While pharmacological treatments are standard, educational and psychological interventions are vital for severe cases.
