Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
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...

Allergic Drug Reactions

904
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.0K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

2.7K
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...

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

825
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:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Health
  • Cosmetology

Background:

  • Occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is prevalent among beauticians, hairdressers, and barbers.
  • Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) stems from friction, soaps, detergents, and wet work.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is often caused by ingredients like PPD, acrylates, fragrances, and preservatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the high incidence of work-related skin diseases in the beauty industry.
  • To identify common allergens and irritants responsible for occupational contact dermatitis.
  • To emphasize the importance of prevention and protective measures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common skin conditions affecting beauty professionals.
  • Identification of causative agents for irritant and allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Discussion of diagnostic methods like patch testing.
  • Emphasis on preventative strategies including personal protective equipment (PPE).

Main Results:

  • Hands are the most commonly affected sites, particularly in young women.
  • Chronic mild trauma, wet work, soaps, and detergents are frequent causes of ICD.
  • Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), acrylates, essential oils, fragrances, colophony, and preservatives are key triggers for ACD.
  • Anamnesis and patch testing are vital for diagnosing sensitization.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational skin diseases pose a significant risk in the beauty sector.
  • Effective prevention requires worker education on risks and the use of PPE.
  • Early diagnosis through patch testing aids in managing and preventing further sensitization.
