    DERMATOLOGY – 15% Acne Vulgaris Inflammatory skin condition assoc. with papules & pustules involving pilosebaceous units Pathophysiology: • 4 main factors – follicular hyperkeratinization with plugging of sebaceous ducts, increased sebum production, Propionibacterium acnes overgrowth within follicles, & inflammatory response • Hormonal activation of pilosebaceous glands which may cause cyclic flares that coincide with menstruation Clinical Manifestations: • In areas with increased sebaceous glands (face, back, chest, upper arms) • Stage I: Comedones: small, inflammatory bumps from clogged pores - Open comedones (blackheads): incomplete blockage - Closed comedones (whiteheads): complete blockage • Stage II: Inflammatory: papules or pustules surrounded by inflammation • Stage III: Nodular or cystic acne: heals with scarring Differential Diagnosis: • Differentiate from rosacea which has no comedones** • Perioral dermatitis based on perioral and periorbital location • CS-induced acne lacks comedones and pustules are in same stage of development Diagnosis: • Mild: comedones, small amounts of papules &/or pustules • Moderate: comedones, larger amounts of papules &/or pustules • Severe: nodular (>5mm) or cystic Management: • Mild: topical – azelaic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, Tretinoin topical (Retin A) or topical antibiotics [Clindamycin or Erythromycin with Benzoyl peroxide] • Moderate: above + oral antibiotics [Minocycline 50mg PO qd or Doxycycline 100 mg PO qd], spironolactone • Severe (refractory nodular acne): oral

  • Short Anagen Syndrome: a Case Study
    Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications, 2012, 2, 14-15 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jcdsa.2012.21004 Published Online March 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/jcdsa) Short Anagen Syndrome: A Case Study Martina Alés Fernández, Francisco M. Camacho Martínez Department of Dermatology, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, Seville, Spain. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received October 31st, 2011; revised November 18th, 2011; revised November 29th, 2011 ABSTRACT Short anagen syndrome is a relatively recently described entity. This syndrome is an unusual condition where the ana- gen growth phase of hair follicles is shorter than normal. Its clinical characteristics and trichogram findings contribute to the diagnosis of this trichosis. Keywords: Anagen Syndrome 1. Case Report Three-years-old girl with low density and slow growth scalp hair that had not been cut since birth. Her birth and medical history were unremarkable. The physical ex- amination revealed short and fine brown scalp hair with decreased density in frontoparietal areas (Figure 1). The rest of the physical examination was normal, without any abnormalities in eyelashes, eyebrows, teeth, nails or skin. The hair pull test was negative. The trichogram demon- strated some dystrophic hairs, but the most important data was an increased number of telogen hairs with a consistent decreased number of anagen hairs (Figure 2). The anagen to telogen ratio (7:28) was significantly re- duced with only 25% of hairs in anagen. 2. Discussion Short anagen syndrome is a relatively recently recog- nized entity poorly documented. Short hair due to a short anagen phase was described in 1987 by Kersey as part of tricho-dental syndrome [1].

The condition most commonly affects young females with blonde hair, but males and those with darker hair colors can be affected.

  • Fingernails and Toenails Are There for Two Reasons
    ingernails and toenails are there for two reasons: Fadornment and function. The desire to dress up nails dates back to the dawn of time, and it also seems to start very early in life. For instance, my daughter first demon­ strated a strong interest in her nails at the age of three. She would corral her mother and any available baby-sitter into painting her nails, and the more shocking the color, the more gleeful she became. Nonetheless, these hard and durable parts of our hands actually serve other needs as well. For one thing, they assist in dexterity. One day, my five-year-old son decided he didn't need his nails anymore. To prove him wrong, we put small pieces of modeling clay under his fin­ gertips, so it was as though he had no nails. My challenge to him: if he could pick up a dime with his fingers altered in this way, he could keep the dime. He failed several times, finally understanding how important nails are to everyday life. Nails serve another important purpose, at least to doc­ tors: they are a kind of external warning system because often it's there that the outward signs of internal disease may develop.
