Baumgardner, MD Aurora University of Wisconsin Medical Group, Aurora Health Care, Milwaukee, WI; Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI; Center for Urban Population Health, Milwaukee, WI Abstract Fungal infections in humans resulting from human or animal contact are relatively uncommon, but they include a significant proportion of dermatophyte infections. Some of the most commonly encountered diseases of the integument are dermatomycoses. Human or animal contact may be the source of all types of tinea infections, occasional candidal infections, and some other types of superficial or deep fungal infections. This narrative review focuses on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of anthropophilic dermatophyte infections primarily found in North America.

However, the condition affects Hidradenitis Suppurativa 1% of the population in Europe and produces painful nodules in one or more of Scarring Sinus tracts the apocrine-gland bearing aspects of the skin that can ulcerate and produce pain and a foul odour and can multiply and eventually develop sinus tracts and fistulae. HS is often misdiagnosed as alternative skin ulcerating conditions, leaving the individuals with many years of suffering from the physical symptoms and their psychological consequences. The disease often begins in puberty and burns out by middle age, leaving the individual with unsightly scarring. This article examines the pathophysiology, clinical presentations and comorbidities associated with the disease. The treatment options focus on controlling the comorbidities, moderating life-style behaviours and arresting the disease. The medical and surgical options are discussed along with their limitations. idrarenitis Suppurativa (HS) was first selection bias, however is thought to be 1% in described by the French surgeon Velpeau Europe (Gulliver et al, 2016; WUWHS, 2016). in 1839.

Alwash,† B. Mannello§ †Department of Dermatology, Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS trust, Harlow, Essex, and ‡Department of Dermatology, The Royal London Hospital, London, UK §Mannello Statistics, Via Rodi, Ancona, Italy *Correspondence: N. Clayton. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Background Despite recent insights into its aetiology, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) remains an intractable and debilitating condition for its sufferers, affecting an estimated 2% of the population. It is characterized by chronic, relapsing abscesses, with accompanying fistula formation within the apocrine glandbearing skin, such as the axillae, ano-genital areas and breasts. Standard treatments remain ineffectual and the disease often runs a chronic relapsing course associated with significant psychosocial trauma for its sufferers. Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Metformin in treating cases of HS which have not responded to standard therapies. Methods Twenty-five patients were treated with Metformin over a period of 24 weeks. Clinical severity of the disease was assessed at time 0, then after 12 weeks and finally after 24 weeks. Results were evaluated using Sartorius and DLQI scores. Results Eighteen patients clinically improved with a significant average reduction in their Sartorius score of 12.7 and number of monthly work days lost reduced from 1.5 to 0.4. Dermatology life quality index (DLQI) also showed a significant improvement in 16 cases, with a drop in DLQI score of 7.6.

  • Onychomycosis/ (Suspected) Fungal Nail and Skin Protocol
    Onychomycosis/ (suspected) Fungal Nail and Skin Protocol Please check the boxes of the evaluation questions, actions and dispensing items you wish to include in your customized protocol. If additional or alternative products or services are provided, please include when making your selections. If you wish to include the condition description please also check the box. Description of Condition: Onychomycosis is a common nail condition. It is a fungal infection of the nail that differs from bacterial infections (often referred to as paronychia infections). It is very common for a patient to present with onychomycosis without a true paronychia infection. It is also very common for a patient with a paronychia infection to have secondary onychomycosis. Factors that can cause onychomycosis include: (1) environment: dark, closed, and damp like the conventional shoe, (2) trauma: blunt or repetitive, (3) heredity, (4) compromised immune system, (5) carbohydrate-rich diet, (6) vitamin deficiency or thyroid issues, (7) poor circulation or PVD, (8) poor-fitting shoe gear, (9) pedicures received in places with unsanitary conditions. Nails that are acute or in the early stages of infection may simply have some white spots or a white linear line. Chronic nail conditions may appear thickened, discolored, brittle or hardened (to the point that the patient is unable to trim the nails on their own). The nails may be painful to touch or with closed shoe gear or the nail condition may be purely cosmetic and not painful at all. *Ask patient to remove nail

  • Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions
    Dermatology for the Non-Dermatologist May 30 – June 3, 2018 - 1 - Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions History remains ESSENTIAL to establish diagnosis – duration, treatments, prior history of skin conditions, drug use, systemic illness, etc., etc. Historical characteristics of lesions and rashes are also key elements of the description. Painful vs. painless? Pruritic? Burning sensation? Key descriptive elements – 1- definition and morphology of the lesion, 2- location and the extent of the disease. DEFINITIONS: Atrophy: Thinning of the epidermis and/or dermis causing a shiny appearance or fine wrinkling and/or depression of the skin (common causes: steroids, sudden weight gain, “stretch marks”) Bulla: Circumscribed superficial collection of fluid below or within the epidermis > 5mm (if <5mm vesicle), may be formed by the coalescence of vesicles (blister) Burrow: A linear, “threadlike” elevation of the skin, typically a few millimeters long. (scabies) Comedo: A plugged sebaceous follicle, such as closed (whitehead) & open comedones (blackhead) in acne Crust: Dried residue of serum, blood or pus (scab) Cyst: A circumscribed, usually slightly compressible, round, walled lesion, below the epidermis, may be filled with fluid or semi-solid material (sebaceous cyst, cystic acne) Dermatitis: nonspecific term for inflammation of the skin (many possible causes); may be a specific condition, e.g. atopic dermatitis Eczema: a generic term for acute or chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin.
