Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.0K
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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.6K
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...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

3.8K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.2K
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...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV01:26

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

411
Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Infection01:20

Infection

11.4K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Summary

Fungal infections like tinea corporis can occur on new tattoos due to contamination during healing, presenting atypical skin lesions. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of these rare tattoo-associated infections.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Tattoos can lead to cutaneous infections with challenging diagnoses due to atypical presentations on tattooed skin.
  • This study reports an unusual case of tinea corporis on recent tattoos during their healing phase, attributed to environmental contamination.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with rapidly spreading, pruritic, erosive, and papular lesions on two recent tattoos.
  • Fungal analysis identified Microsporum canis, with a history of household and familial exposure to ringworm.

Findings:

  • Tinea infections on tattoos are infrequently documented, with only ten additional cases found in the literature.
  • Other fungal infections post-tattooing are also rare, suggesting contamination during the healing phase rather than tattooist hygiene issues.

Implications:

  • Atypical tinea corporis on tattoos may result from impaired skin barriers or self-inoculation, complicating diagnosis.
  • Understanding these fungal infections is vital for dermatologists and healthcare providers managing tattoo recipients.
