Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.0K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.0K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.0K
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

6.4K
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...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.4K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

8.0K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are common noninfectious rashes in children.
  • Atopic dermatitis is a frequent inflammatory eruption managed with emollients and topical corticosteroids.
  • Systemic diseases like lupus, Kawasaki disease, psoriasis, and type 1 diabetes present with distinct mucocutaneous features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common and significant childhood dermatologic conditions.
  • To highlight the classification and management of cutaneous drug reactions.
  • To discuss mucocutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases and genetic disorders affecting skin pigmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pediatric dermatologic conditions.
  • Classification of cutaneous adverse drug reactions.
  • Description of clinical features of various dermatologic conditions.

Main Results:

  • Cutaneous drug reactions present in various forms: morbilliform, urticarial, bullous, pustular, or psoriasiform.
  • Atopic dermatitis requires emollients and topical corticosteroids, with topical calcineurin inhibitors as second-line therapy.
  • Genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis and incontinentia pigmenti require thorough evaluation and management due to potential permanent disability.

Conclusions:

  • Childhood dermatologic conditions encompass drug reactions, inflammatory eruptions, systemic disease manifestations, and genetic disorders.
  • Effective management hinges on accurate diagnosis and timely intervention, especially for dermatologic emergencies.
  • Recognizing genetic conditions affecting skin pigmentation is vital due to diagnostic complexity and potential long-term consequences.
