Skin Cancer

4.7K
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...

Papillary Dermis

3.8K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

3.2K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Interpreting patch test reactions can be challenging due to variability. Dermoscopy may help differentiate between allergic and irritant reactions, improving diagnostic accuracy for uncertain cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Patch test interpretation requires expertise and faces significant intraobserver and interobserver variability.
  • Distinguishing between weak allergic and irritant reactions is often difficult.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utility of dermoscopy in interpreting patch test reactions.
  • To identify dermoscopic features associated with allergic versus irritant patch test reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies on dermoscopic features of patch test reactions.
  • Analysis of dermoscopic findings in patients with confirmed allergic and irritant reactions.

Main Results:

  • Positive allergic reactions show homogeneous erythema, dotted vessels, vesicles, crusts, and yellow-orange areas.
  • Irritant reactions are characterized by pore patterns and perifollicular erythema.
  • Dermoscopic features can overlap with inflammatory conditions like eczema.

Conclusions:

  • Dermoscopy offers valuable insights into patch test reactions.
  • This technique may aid in diagnosing doubtful patch test reactions, reducing diagnostic uncertainty.
