Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

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 and...
Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Topical steroid misuse is a growing concern, leading to facial damage.
  • Accurate assessment of steroid-induced facial damage (TSDF) is crucial for effective management.
  • Dermoscopy offers a non-invasive method to evaluate skin changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of dermoscopy in diagnosing and assessing topical steroid-induced facial damage (TSDF).
  • To identify common clinical and dermoscopic features associated with TSDF.
  • To explore factors contributing to topical steroid misuse.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving patients aged 18-60 with suspected or diagnosed TSDF.
  • Assessment included patient demographics, topical steroid usage details (duration, potency, brand), and clinical/dermoscopic features.
  • Dermoscopic examination was used to identify specific skin alterations.

Main Results:

  • Females from rural areas were the majority of topical steroid abusers.
  • Red, raised lesions were the most frequent clinical finding.
  • Telangiectasias were the most common dermoscopic feature observed.

Conclusions:

  • Dermoscopy is valuable for assessing steroid-damaged skin and preventing further complications.
  • Addressing the misuse of topical steroids requires controlling their easy availability and understanding contributing factors.
