INTRODUCTION TO
DERMATOLOGY
2
Dermatology deals with disorders of skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes.
Important functions of the skin
Protection against external injuryFluid balanceTemperature organSynthesis of Vit DPart of immune system (e.g. langerhan’s cell)Cosmetic function.

•Dermatological disorder = 10% -15% of primary care consultations
•Skin is the largest organ in human body
•Dermatological diseases can cause social and psychological problems, also it may affect ability to work (e.g.. Chronic hand dermatitis.)
•Skin is the gate of the body(might reflect systemic disease).

Structure of skin1 Epidermis2 Basement membrane (dermoepidermal junction)3 Dermis4 Subcutaneous fat
Epidermis: Four layers (from outside – inside)1. Cornified layer2. Granular layer3. Spinous layer4. Basal layer
Dermis contains:Collagen fibersElastic fibersGround substancesBlood vesselsNerves.
5
Skin appendages:
Hair follicle
Sebaceous gland
Arrector pili muscle
Eccrine sweat gland
Apocrine sweat glands

Examination: 3 corners to make useful skin exam 1. Morphology (shape of the lesion)2. Configuration (arrangement of lesions)3. Distribution (Which body site)Morphology:- 1º skin lesions : unmodified lesions - 2º skin lesion: modified by scratching or infection

16
Primary skin lesions
17
Macule & patch
• A macule is a circumscribed flat alteration in the colour of the skin which is less than 1 cm in diameter.
• Various colors depending on the cause
• A patch is a flat lesion greater than 1 cm in diameter (i.e. a large macule).
18
Papule
• A papule is a circumscribed palpable elevation of the skin less than 1 cm in diameter
• Dermal(drug eruption, lipid deposits), epidermal (warts, molluscum), or both (lichen planus)
19
Nodule
Palpable solid deep lesion (depth> diameter)
- Epidermal
- Dermal
20
Plaque
• A slightly raised lesion greater than 1 cm in diameter
• Papules confluence (psoriasis)
• Patch thickening (mycosis fungoides)
21
Vesicle
• A raised lesion less than 0.5 cm in diameter containing clear fluid
22
Bulla
• A vesicle that is greater than 0.5 cm in diameter is known as a bulla.
23
Pustule
• A pustule is a raised lesion less than 0.5 cm in diameter containing yellow fluid, which may be sterile as in acne or pustular psoriasis, or infected.
24
Wheal
• A wheal is a transient, itchy, pink or red swelling of the skin, often with central pallor.
25
Cyst:
palpable soft sac containing fluid.
- Epidermal
- Dermal
26
Telangiectasia
• Dilatation of capillaries gives rise to this skin condition.
27
Secondary skin lesions
28
Crust
• A crust is a dried exudate, which may have been serous, purulent or haemorrhagic.
29
Excoriation
• A haemorrhagic excavation of the skin resulting from scratching.
30
Lichenification
• Thickening of the skin with exaggeration of the skin creases.
31
Scar
• The final stage of healing of a destructive process (disease or injury) that has involved the deeper dermis results in a white, smooth, firm, shiny lesion.
• Atrophic, or hypertrophic
32
Scale
• A scale is a flat plate (lamella) or flake of stratum corneum.
• The epidermis is replaced every 28 days• Fine (eczema) / thick (psoriasis) • No scaling in dermal pathologies
33
Poikiloderma
• This refers to an appearance of pigmentation, atrophy and telangiectasia
34
Necrosis
• Death, or necrosis, of skin tissue is usually black in colour.
35
Erosion
• A partial break in the epidermis is known as an erosion
• It heals without scarring unless secondary infection occurs.
• Commonly following a blister
36
Ulcer
• An ulcer is a full-thickness loss of the epidermis
• Heals with scarring
37
FISSURE
a linear cleavages or cracks in the skin.
38
Atrophy
• Thinning and transparency of the skin
• Caused by diminution of the epidermis, the dermis, or both
• Wrinkling and translucency
39
Sclerosis
• A circumscribed or diffuse hardening or induration of the skin
• A result of dermal or subcutaneous edema, cellular infiltration, or collagen proliferation
40
Primary Lesions
•Macule: Flat circumscribed area of change in skin color•Papule: small circumscribed elevation of the skin•Nodule:Solid, circumscribed elevation of the skin whose greater part is beneath skin surface (felt more than seen)•Plaque: flat topped palpable lesion (gathering of papules)•Vesicle: collection of clear fluid (<5mm in diameter)•Bulla: like vesicle, but > 5 mm•Pustule: Collection of Pus
41
Primary Lesions
* Wheal: Transient, slightly raised lesion with pale center and pink margin.Seen in urticaria.
* Purpura:Visible collection of blood under the skin e.g. Vasculitis
* Telangectasia: Dilated capillaries visible on skin surface
* Burrow: Tunnel in the skin (e.g. Scabies)
42
Secondary lesions•Crust: Dried serum (or exudate)•Scale:Thickened, loose, readily detached fragment of cornified layer•Excoration: Shallow linear abrasion caused by scratching.• Erosion:Loss of epidermis (heals without scarring)•Ulcer: loss of epidermis and dermis (heals with scarring)• Fissure : linear crack in the skin•Scar: Permanent lesion due to abnormal formation of connective tissue following injury.
43
Secondary lesions
Atrophy: A-Superficial: thining of skin with visible blood vessels
B-Deep : depression of skin surface
Lichenification: thickened skin with
accentuated skin markings
Sclerosis: induration of skin

Distribution
Predilection for specific body sites*Psoriasis: Extensors(elbows and knees)
Scalp*Acne:Face
Upper chest, Upper back*Photosensitive eruption: Mainly face, forearms & V-Chest (with sparing of photoprotected areas e.g. upper eyelids, retro-auricular an sub- mental)
49
50
Colour in Dermatology
Red:Vascular lesions e.g. port wine stain
also, inflammatory disorders like psoriasisBlue: Blue nevus
Mongolian spotYellow: XanthomaWhite: VitiligoBlack: Melanocytic nevus & melanomaPurple or (Violaceous) : Lichen planus
51
52
53
Some important signs in Dermatology
*Auspitz sign: When you remove a scale from psoriasis lesion tiny bleeding points (due to suprapapillary thinning).
Nikolsky sign: When you rub normal skin beside blister induction of new blister .Seen in pemphigus vulgaris and toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN).
54
Nikolsky sign
55
Dermatographism: When you stroke the normal skin edema and erythema (you can write on skin!) .Seen in physical urticaria
Kobener Phenomenon: Induction of new skin lesions on previously normal appearing skin by truma e.g. in psoriasis, wart, lichen planus
Button-hole sign: In neurofirbroma, if you try to push it it goes inside the skin
56
57
Additional skin examination:~Wood’s Lamp: Produces long wave ultraviolet light(UVA). e.g. Vitiligo milky whiteTinea Versicolor goldenTinea Capitis (caused by microsporum) yellow greenErytherasma coral red
~Diascopy:you press with a glass slide .If there is red lesion and the redness dose not go away by this pressure this means extravasated blood i.e.purpura
~Dermatoscopy: Helpful to differentiate benign from malignant pigmented lesions.
58
59
Investigations:*KOH and fungal culture•Scrap skin scales put over glass slide•Add KOH 10% -- warm gently•See under microscope•You may see hyphae and/ or spores
*Gram stain and bacterial culture
60
Investigations:Tzank smear: Scrap base of vesicle smear it on microscopic slide add fixative add Giemsa stain.Examine under microscope for 1.Detached epidermal cells (acantholytic cells) in pemphigus vulgaris2.Multinucleated giant cells in herpes simplex, zoster or varicella
Viral culture
61
Skin biopsy : Under local anasthesia, different types: Punch
ShaveExcisionalIncisional
Immunofloursence : important in immunobullous disorder
1. Direct : use pt’s skin2. Indirect: use pt’s Serum
Prick test
Patch test
