They are typically red and raised and may be itchy or painful. While a hypertropic scar will not extend beyond the border of the wound, it may become thicker over the first few months. Keloids: Keloids are fibrous tissue outgrowths that develop from excessive collagen production during wound healing. They extend beyond the original borders of the wound. People with darker skin more pigment seem to be more prone to forming keloids. While keloids can occur anywhere on your body, they often develop in less fatty areas, such as on the face, neck, ears, chest, or shoulders. Contractures: This type of scar restricts movement due to skin and underlying tissue that pull together during healing. They can occur when there is a large amount of tissue loss, such as after a burn. Contractures also can form where a wound crosses a joint, restricting movement of the fingers, elbows, knees, or neck. Several techniques can minimize a scar. However, no scar can ever be completely erased, and no technique will return the scar to its normal, uninjured appearance. Only severe scars, such as burns over a large part of the body, may require general anesthesia or a hospital stay. Surgical scar revision can improve the way scars look by changing the size, depth, or color. Surgical scar revision typically results in a less obvious mark. Because each scar is different, each will require a different approach. Based on the ability of the skin to stretch with time, surgical scar revision is a method of removing a scar and rejoining the normal skin in a less obvious fashion. The surgical removal of scars is best suited for wide or long scars, those in prominent places, or scars that have healed in a particular pattern or shape. Wide scars can often be cut out and closed, resulting in a thinner scar, and long scars can be made shorter. Rather than using straight-line incisions, the doctor may use irregular or staggered incision lines, which forms a broken-line scar that is much more difficult to recognize. Sometimes, a scar's direction can be changed so that all or part of the scar that crosses a natural wrinkle or line falls into the wrinkle, making it less noticeable. This method can also be used to move scars into more favorable locations, such as into a hairline or a natural junction for instance, where the nose meets the cheek. Best results are obtained when the scar is removed and wound edges are brought together without tension or movement pull on the skin. Dermabrasion is a method of treating acne scars, pockmarks, some surgical scars, or minor irregularities of the skin's surface. While it can offer improvement for certain scars, dermabrasion cannot get rid of the scar entirely. Patients can usually return to work within a week. If defects are minor, only one dermabrasion will be needed. Several sessions may be required if defects are deep and extensive, as in deep acne scars. Another method of improving surgical, acne, chicken pox, and other scars is laser scar revision. High-energy light is used to remove or remodel unwanted, damaged skin. Patients can usually return to work or regular activity within one week, but skin may stay pink for several weeks or months, particularly after skin resurfacing with a carbon dioxide laser. Several different lasers are available, depending on the skin defect requiring improvement. A pulsed dye laser, for example, uses yellow light to remove scar redness and to flatten raised scars hypertrophic scars or keloids. These types of scars typically need two or more pulsed dye laser treatments every two months. Pulsed dye laser can also improve itching and burning sensations in the scar. Various injectable substances are available to elevate indented soft scars. The amount of material injected will vary with the size and firmness of the scar. Bovine or human collagen may be used. Improvement is immediate but is not permanent, and collagen injections often need to be repeated. Hyaluronic acid injections typically last a little longer. The patient's own fat or injectable donated fascia a type of human tissue can be used in full- thickened deep depressed scars. The dermatologist will discuss the available fillers and help you decide which is best for your scar. Research is continuing to develop more long-standing substances to inject into scars. Punch grafts are small pieces of normal skin used to replace scarred skin. A tiny circular "cookie cutter" is used to cut a hole in the skin and remove the scar. The area is then filled in with a matching piece of unscarred skin called a plug , usually taken from the skin behind the ear. The plugs are taped into place for five to seven days as they heal. Punch excisions, on the other hand, involve the use of stitches to close the holes produced by the tiny skin punch. The stitches are removed in five to seven days. Even though the punch grafts and excisions form scars of their own, they provide a smoother skin surface that is less visible than depressed scars. In late September, we were asked to help out two boys that unfortunately had a run in with a porcupine. Most of the quills have been removed with a few still migrating out.

That said, depending on the type of scar , some techniques are available that can improve the appearance of a scar. Each year, approximately , scar revisions are performed in the U. Treatment options can include topical therapies, minimally invasive procedures and surgical revision. Z-plasty is a plastic surgery technique that improves the cosmetic appearance of scars. This technique uses traingular flaps to reduce the scar tension line. Thomas likens this to an optical illusion. For some, changing or fixing their scar is simply not an option because the scar has become embedded in their story. For example, following a lung transplant, Randy Wilgus used his scar to help others. Randy was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis , a lung disease that occurs when the tissue has become damaged. It causes the lung tissue to become hard and stiff, making it difficult to take in oxygen. Randy learned he would need a lung transplant, but other health issues threatened to jeopardize that. But he did. Randy recovered well, and credits his faith and his support system for getting him through. You have to make yourself vulnerable. Now, Randy hopes to share his story to help others know that they are not alone. And much of that journey, he notes, is exemplified by one thing: his scar. That, to me, is priceless, and I hold that close to my heart. Understand gender identity and the importance of pronouns. Here are four tips to train your brain to embrace safety guidelines.

    CHICAGO DERMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY CASE # 1 Presented by James Swan, M.D., Mary Martini, M.D. and Keren Horn, M.D. Department of Dermatology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS This 45 year-old Caucasian male presented for a problem-focused exam of a right upper extremity lesion. However, complete physical exam revealed peri-orbital slate-gray hyperpigmentation as well as generalized bronze hyperpigmentation in sun-exposed areas, prompting questions regarding these abnormalities. Other abnormalities in pigment included approximately 10 café au lait macules, nearly all greater than 1.5cm in size. Axillary freckling was also noted. Review of systems was positive for migraine headaches, arthritis, decreased libido and fatigue (the patient sleeps greater than 12 hours each night without feeling refreshed). PAST MEDICAL HISTORY Right orbital tumor status post excision 2001 Depression MEDICATIONS Depakote Remeron ALLERGIES Amoxicillin (angioedema) FAMILY HISTORY Brother with the same pigmentation anomalies. Both his father and his sister died of liver cancer; his sister passed away at 40 years of age. SOCIAL HISTORY The patient does not drink alcohol and has smoked one pack of cigarettes per day for the past 30 years. He is on disability due to “depression” and exhaustion which make it unable for him to sustain an eight hour work day. PHYSICAL EXAM There is peri-orbital slate-gray hyperpigmentation as well as generalized bronze hyperpigmentation in sun-exposed areas. In addition, the patient has approximately 10 café au lait macules, nearly all greater than 1.5cm in size. Axillary freckling is also noted, and there are protuberances of the left elbow and right knee.

It is a form of hair shaft disorder with increased fragility. The condition is classified into inherited and acquired. Inherited forms may be either isolated or associated with numerous genetic diseases or syndromes (e.g., Menkes disease, Björnstad syndrome, Netherton syndrome, and Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome). Moreover, pili torti may be a feature of various ectodermal dysplasias (such as Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome). Acquired pili torti was described in numerous forms of alopecia (e.g., lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, dissecting Citation: Hoffmann, A.; cellulitis, folliculitis decalvans, alopecia areata) as well as neoplastic and systemic diseases (such Wa´skiel-Burnat,A.; Zółkiewicz,˙ J.; as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, scalp metastasis of breast cancer, anorexia nervosa, malnutrition, Blicharz, L.; Rakowska, A.; Goldust, M.; Olszewska, M.; Rudnicka, L.

  • Follicular Atrophoderma and Pseudopelade Associated with Chondrodystrophia Calcificans Congenita* Helen Ollendorff Curth, M.D
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector FOLLICULAR ATROPHODERMA AND PSEUDOPELADE ASSOCIATED WITH CHONDRODYSTROPHIA CALCIFICANS CONGENITA* HELEN OLLENDORFF CURTH, M.D. In 1943 Miescher (1) reported peculiar atrophic changes of the skin of body and scalp in a 7 year old Swiss girl. There were spots of atrophic alopecia on the scalp, and on the extremities and trunk irregular zones in which dimple-like depressions were found at the place of follicular orifices. The child was very small and had thoracic kyphoscoliosis, lumbar lordosis, luxation of the right hip, a considerably shortened right leg, and a moderately shortened left arm. Five years earlier, Burckhardt (2) has described the skeletal condition of the same child, then 2 years old, as chondrodystrophia foetalis calcarea. In the Eng- lish speaking countries this disease is called chondrodystrophia calcificans congenita, chondro- osseous dystrophy with punctate epiphyseal dysplasia, or similar variations. Several cases of this newly described syndrome of cutaneous and skeletal changes have lately been seen in New York. REPORT OF CA5E5 1. C. S. (3), an 8 year old Jewish girl, was hora in the United States. The parents of the child were horn in Poland. They have three children, of whom the patient is the second. The father, mother, a sister aged 10, and a brother aged 5, are small hut do not present the characteristic cutaneous or skeletal changes to he described. The mother was well during her second pregnancy. The child was horn spontaneously at full term. Immediately after birth the mother noticed that large parts of the scalp and body were covered by red crusts, some tiny, others confluent and forming large adherent masses.

    boards’ fodder Sound-alikes in dermatology by Jeffrey Kushner, DO, and Kristen Whitney, DO Disease Entity Description Actinic granuloma/ Annular elastolytic Variant of granuloma annulare on sun-damaged skin; annular erythematous giant cell granuloma plaques with slightly atrophic center in sun-exposed areas, which may be precipi- tated by actinic damage. Actinic prurigo PMLE-like disease with photodistributed erythematous papules or nodules and hemorrhagic crust and excoriation. Conjunctivitis and cheilitis are commonly found. Seen more frequently in Native Americans (especially Mestizos). Actinomycetoma “Madura Foot”; suppurative infection due to Nocaria, Actinomadura, or Streptomyces resulting in tissue tumefaction, draining sinuses and extrusion of grains. Actinomycosis “Lumpy Jaw”; Actinomyces israelii; erythematous nodules at the angle of jaw leads to fistulous abscess that drain purulent material with yellow sulfur granules. Acrokeratosis verruciformis Multiple skin-colored, warty papules on the dorsal hands and feet. Often seen in conjunction with Darier disease. Acrodermatitis enteropathica AR; SLC39A4 mutation; eczematous patches on acral, perineal and periorificial skin; diarrhea and alopecia; secondary to zinc malabsorption. Atrophoderma 1) Atrophoderma vermiculatum: Pitted atrophic scars in a honeycomb pattern around follicles on the face; associated with Rombo, Nicolau-Balus, Tuzun and Braun-Falco-Marghescu syndromes. 2) Follicular atrophoderma: Icepick depressions at follicular orifices on dorsal hands/feet or cheeks; associated with Bazex-Dupré-Christol and Conradi- Hünermann-Happle syndromes. 3) Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini: Depressed patches on the back with a “cliff-drop” transition from normal skin. 4) Atrophoderma of Moulin: Similar to Pasini/Pierini, except lesions follow the lines of Blaschko. Anetoderma Localized area of flaccid skin due to decreased or absent elastic fibers; exhibits “buttonhole” sign.

  • C. Pyoderma Gangrenosum
    Volume 19 Number 6 June 2013 Review Diseases associated with hidranitis suppurativa: part 2 of a series on hidradenitis Noah Scheinfeld MD Dermatology Online Journal 19 (6): 2 150 West 55th Street NYC NY 100128 Correspondence: Noah Scheinfeld MD: [email protected] Abstract Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a pathologic follicular disease, impacts patients' lives profoundly and usually occurs in isolation. The diseases with the strongest association are obesity, depression, and pain. HS is associated with many diseases including acne conglobata (AC), dissecting cellulitis, pilonidal cysts, and obesity. Pyoderma fistulans sinifica (fox den disease) appears to be the same entity as Hurley Stage 2 of 3 HS. The rate of acne vulgaris in HS patients mirrors unaffected controls. The most common, albeit still uncommon, association is with seronegative, haplotype unlinked arthritis (most importantly B27), in particular spondolyarthritis. Crohn disease and HS occur together at a rate that varies from 0.6% to 38% in retrospective cases series. Ulcerative colitis occurred with HS in 14% of patients in one series. The next most common association is with pyoderma gangrenosum, but this association is likely under-reported. Synovitis-Acne-Pustulosis Hyperostosis-Osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, which is rare, has more than 10 reports linking it to HS. Nine case reports have linked Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) to HS and two reports related HS to Fox-Fordyce disease (FF), but because both occur in the axilla this might be a mere coincidence. HS is rarely associated with ophthalmic pathology. Specifically, more than 5 reports link it to Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness syndrome (KID); greater than10 cases link it to interstitial keratitis and 2 cases are linked to Behçet’s disease.
