совершенствование управления атемой первичной медико-санитарной помощи.

Хотя, как правило, считается детской болезнью, 38% пациентов в Великобритании с аттракционной экземой являются взрослыми. Диагностика несложной атемы основана на клинической истории и визуальной оценке. Вторичная инфекция может осложнить экзему, особенно стафилококкаль и стрептококкал, а герпес с помощью вируса simpex может вызвать герпетику экземы, которая неудобна и потенциально опасна. Пациенты или лица, осуществляющие уход, должны получить полное объяснение того, как использовать тематические методы лечения и, в соответствующих случаях, продемонстрировать, как применять перевязку.

Treatment of hand eczema.

Hand eczema is a common skin disease that tends to become chronic and may interfere with many types of work. Emollients have been shown to be useful in reducing eczema activity and in the primary prevention of hand eczema. Protection of the hands is very important for the prevention of hand eczema and is a fundamental aspect of the treatment of hand eczema. Although topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment, few studies of their rational use, efficacy and side-effects have been conducted. A combination of tacrolimus and topical corticosteroids may reduce the risk of steroid-associa…

Psoriasis in children: a guide to its diagnosis and management.

Psoriasis often presents in childhood. The diagnosis may be challenging if the disease is mild or the presentation is atypical. All of the forms recognised in adults are encountered in childhood (plaque, guttate, erythrodermic and pustular). Guttate and flexural forms are particularly common in children. Successful management requires education of the child and parents regarding the course of the disease and treatment options. Environmental triggers should be sought out and eliminated where possible. Most patients respond to topical treatment with emollients, coal tar, anthralin (dithranol) or…

Topical emollients and oral antihistamines were unsatisfactory and so phototherapy treatment (90% UVA/10% UVB) three times a week was commenced. RESULTS: Improvement was visible after 1 month and at the end of 3 months the pruritus had disappeared and treatment was s …

Progress in self treatment for psoriasis vulgaris.

Chronic plaque psoriasis is by far the most frequent form of the disease and is usually amenable to home treatment. The therapeutic armamentarium for self-treatment of psoriasis has, until recently, been limited to emollients, tar, dithranol and topical corticosteroids. Although limited progress has been made in improving formulations and treatment regimes for these compounds, they still have significant drawbacks in terms of either unwanted effects or cosmetic acceptability. Topical vitamin D analogues offer a new, effective, convenient and safe option for self-treatment of psoriasis. Most re…

Neonatal Erythroderma: Diagnostic Challenges and the Limitations of Genetic Testing.

Its aetiolo … f congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE), and supportive management was initiated with regular emollients. The infant remained stable and was discharged with close multidisciplinary follow-up. Although the presentation was consistent with CIE, the clinical diagnosis remained uncertain at this stage. This case illustrates the diagnostic uncertainty inher …

Nail toxicity associated with anticancer agents.

In recent decades, cancer mortality rates have declined due to development of systemic antineoplastic agents targeting specific cancer pathways. Nail toxicities associated with these therapies are underrecognized by many and contribute significantly to patient morbidity. Nail changes from chemotherapy occur due to toxicity to continuously dividing nail matrix keratinocytes. Preventive measures, including avoiding repeated trauma from manicuring and artificial nails, regular nail trimming, and applying emollients to cuticles are essential in mitigating nail toxicities. Frozen gloves or socks ha…

Rash decisions: diagnosing zinc deficiency in unexplained dermatitis .

Zinc is an essential micronutrient for the body and plays a crucial role in skin integrity, yet zinc deficiency remains an under-recognised cause of dermatitis, particularly in patients with predisposing risk factors. A male in his mid-30s with alcohol-related liver disease and ulcerative colitis presented with a widespread rash. Initial treatment for contact dermatitis and possible herpes simplex virus infection with topical steroids, antivirals and emollients was unsuccessful. His condition worsened, requiring intensive care admission. Imaging revealed bilateral pneumonia, and a skin biopsy …

First documented case of ichthyosis prematurity syndrome in Iraq: A case report with literature review.

His skin was treated with topical steroids and emollients. Right-sided endocarditis of an intact TV is uncommon in a non-intravenous drug user. Therefore, this novel case portrays the importance of aggressively managing AD as it is a risk factor for significant systemic infections.

Hailey-Hailey.

An 18-year-old white man with a "rash" on his forehead, neck, and upper part of the back for more than 5 years presented to the dermatology clinic complaining of chronic irritation and burning in these locations. He first became aware of the problem while playing football when he noticed that areas where his shoulder pads and helmet contacted his skin were red and irritated. He was treated by his primary care physician for contact dermatitis, and the areas partially responded to mild topical corticosteroids and emollients. Symptomatic worsening of the lesions, including increasing burning pain…

Airborne irritant contact dermatitis due to synthetic fibres from an air-conditioning filter.

We describe 8 cases of occupational airborne irritant contact dermatitis in intensive care unit (ICU) employees caused by synthetic (polypro … development of skin irritation. The fact that most patients recovered quickly after treatment with emollients and changing the filters made it most likely that the airborne dermatitis was of an irritant nature.
