Most popular medical Questions
How is pityriasis rosea distinguished from secondary syphilis?Often with difficulty; both are primarily papulosquamous rashes. Pityriasis rosea classically consists of oval lesions that organize in parallel fashion on the trunk (the "Christmas tree" distribution) and are preceded in 40-80% of cases by a large annular erythematous lesion (herald patch). Secondary syphilis lesions occur 3-6 weeks after the chancre, and, as compared with pityriasis rosea, they have more involvement of the palms, soles, and mucous membranes and have accompanying lymphadenopathy. However, because atypical presentations are common, testing for syphilis should be performed in any sexually active individual who is diagnosed with pityriasis rosea.
What types of sunscreens are available?
Physical sunscreens are composed of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and function by scattering ultraviolet light. Although they are opaque, newer micronized preparations are easier to apply and more acceptable to patients. Chemical sunscreens absorb either ultraviolet A (UVA) or ultraviolet B (UVB) light. Most commercially available sunscreens are combinations of various agents. For sunscreens to function well, they must be applied on all exposed surfaces in adequate quantities and reapplied throughout the day.
How is the SPF of a sunscreen determined?
SPF is the level of effectiveness of a sunscreen's ability to protect against UVB light; it is not a measurement of UVA light protection. The SPF rating is a ratio of the dose of ultraviolet light needed to produce minimal redness on sun-protected skin to the dose of ultraviolet light needed to produce minimal redness on unprotected skin.
Should sunscreens be avoided in infants?
This is controversial. There are concerns that the skin of infants 6 months old has different absorptive characteristics and that biologic systems that metabolize and excrete drugs may not be fully developed. However, there is no evidence that the limited use of sunscreen in infants is problematic. Physical protection (e.g., clothing, hats, shade, sunglasses) is most ideal, but if an infant's skin is not adequately protected, it may be reasonable to apply sunscreen to small areas, such as the face and the back of the hands. Physical sunscreens containing zinc oxide are preferred over chemical sunscreens for use on infant skin.
Which "lime" disease is not transmitted by ticks?
Limes contain psoralens that react with ultraviolet light and that can produce erythema, vesicles, and/or hyperpigmentation on areas of the skin that have come in contact with lime juice. This is known as phytophotodermatitis and is seen with other psoralen-containing plants, such as celery and figs. Additionally, berloque dermatitis (berloque is French for "pendant," which some lesions can resemble) is an irregularly patterned hyperpigmentation of the neck due to photosensitization by furocoumarins (i.e., psoralens) in perfumes. It is caused by fragrances that contain bergamot oil, an extract from the peel of a type of orange that is grown in southern France and Italy. Bergamot oil contains 5-methoxypsoralen, which enhances the erythematous and pigmentary response of UVA light.
What is the appearance of polymorphous light eruption?
The most common pediatric photodermatosis, polymorphous light eruption is characterized by itchy red papules, plaques, or papulovesicles that appear several hours to days after ultraviolet light exposure. It can be diagnosed by phototesting (i.e., the induction of lesions by intentional ultraviolet light exposure) and by skin biopsy. It is usually suggested by the classic history and the exclusion of other photosensitivity disease.
What disorders of childhood are associated with areas of hypopigmentation?
Hypopigmentation is caused by a decrease-not a total absence-of pigmentation or melanin. Conditions that feature hypopigmented lesions include tuberous sclerosis, tinea versicolor, pityriasis alba, nevus depigmentosus, hypomelanosis of Ito, leprosy, and postinflammatory hypopigmentation.
