ABCDEs of melanoma identification - ANS-A: Asymmetry, B: Border (irregular), C: Color
(uneven), D: Diameter (>6mm), E: Evolving (changes in size, shape, or color).
Acne - ANS-Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition caused by follicular
hyperkeratinization, excessive sebum production, and bacterial colonization. It primarily affects
the face, chest, and back, and is common in adolescents, persisting into adulthood.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) - ANS-A slow-growing, pearly or waxy bump on sun-exposed areas,
rarely spreading but causing damage if untreated.
Causes of skin cancer - ANS-Mutations during cell division, often due to ultraviolet radiation,
hormonal changes, or genetic factors.
Characteristics of melanoma - ANS-Asymmetry, irregular borders, multiple colors, and a
diameter greater than 6 millimeters.
Clinical Manifestations of Acne - ANS-Acne lesions can include open and closed comedones,
papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. These lesions often occur on areas with high sebaceous
gland density like the face, chest, and back.
Clinical manifestations of Plaque Psoriasis - ANS-Red, raised patches, silvery scales, dry
cracked skin, itching, burning, thickened nails, and psychological impacts like low self-esteem.
Closed Comedone - ANS-A closed comedone is a small plugged follicle containing white debris.
Common risk factors for psoriasis - ANS-Genetics, immune system dysfunction, environmental
triggers (infections, injuries, stress), obesity, smoking, alcohol, medications, and stress.
Common treatments for psoriasis - ANS-Treatments include topical treatments (corticosteroids,
vitamin D analogs), phototherapy, systemic medications (methotrexate, biologics), and lifestyle
changes (avoiding triggers, moisturizing).
common triggers for rosacea flare-ups - ANS-Triggers for rosacea include sunlight, heat, spicy
foods, alcohol, and certain medications.
Cysts - ANS-Cysts are large raised lesions containing pustular material. Cysts may require
manual incision and drainage.
Danger of melanoma - ANS-It spreads quickly to other parts of the body, including the brain, and
is the deadliest form of skin cancer if not detected early.
, Diagnosis of Acne - ANS-Acne is diagnosed through health history, physical examination, and
possibly acne grading tools like the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA). Additional tests like
microbiology cultures may be considered in resistant cases.
Diagnosis of psoriasis - ANS-Psoriasis is diagnosed through health history, physical
examination, and sometimes a skin biopsy.
diagnosis of rosacea - ANS-Diagnosis is based on the client's health history and physical
examination, excluding other conditions like acne, lupus, psoriasis, and eczema. There are no
specific tests for rosacea.
Diagnosis of skin cancer - ANS-Skin cancer is diagnosed through clinical evaluation, biopsy,
and pathology review.
Environmental factors in psoriasis - ANS-Environmental factors, such as infections, injuries, and
stress, can trigger psoriasis flare-ups in genetically predisposed individuals but do not directly
cause the immune system dysfunction.
erythematotelangiectatic subtype of rosacea - ANS-This subtype is characterized by persistent
facial redness, visible blood vessels, flushing, and stinging or burning sensations.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis - ANS-A severe form that affects the entire body, causing widespread
redness, skin shedding, severe itching, and pain. It can be life-threatening and requires
immediate attention.
Factors contributing to skin cancer development - ANS-Ultraviolet exposure, genetic
predisposition, immunosuppression, and chronic inflammation.
Factors Exacerbating Acne - ANS-Hormonal changes, stress, diet (high-glycemic foods, dairy),
certain medications, improper skincare, and environmental factors (sun exposure, humidity) can
exacerbate acne.
features of papulopustular rosacea - ANS-It is characterized by persistent facial redness with
papules and pustules, similar to acne, and burning or stinging sensations.
Folliculitis - ANS-Folliculitis is the infection or irritation of hair follicles, typically caused by
bacteria, fungi, or physical irritation, while acne is caused by the blockage of sebaceous glands.
Function of the hypodermis - ANS-The hypodermis acts as a cushioning layer, providing
insulation, energy storage, and containing blood vessels and nerves.
Genetics influence on psoriasis - ANS-Genetics play a role in predisposing individuals to
psoriasis, specifically by affecting immune system function rather than skin cell structure.
