Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Essentials of Diagnosis: - ANSWER Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Essentials of Diagnosis:
-Pruritic, xerotic, exudative or lichenified eruption on face, neck, upper trunk, writs,
and hands and the anecubital and popliteal folds

-Personal or family history of allergic manifestations (eg, asthma, allergic rhinitis,
atopic dermatitis).

-Tendency to recur

-Onset in childhood is most patients. Onset after age 30 is very uncommon

Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

General Considerations: - ANSWER Scaling Disorders:

,Atopic Dermatitis:

General Considerations:
-Diagnostic criteria must include pruritus, typical morphology and distribution
(flexural, hand, nipple and eyelid in adults), onset in childhood, and chronicity.

-Also helpful are (1) a personal or family history of atopy (asthma, allergic rhinitis,
atopic dermatitis, (2) xerosis-ichthyosis, (3) facial pallor with infraorbital darkening,
(4) elevated serum IgE, and (5) repeated skin infections.

Clinical Findings:

Symptoms and Signs: - ANSWER Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Clinical Findings:

Symptoms and Signs:
-Itching is key
-Ill-defined, scaly, red plaques affect the face, neck and upper trunk
-Flexural surfaces are also involved
-Virtually all patients with atopic dermatitis have skin disease before age 5

Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Clinical Findings:

Laboratory Findings: - ANSWER Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Clinical Findings:

Laboratory Findings:
-Food allergy is uncommon cause of flares
-Eosinophilia and increased serum IgE levels may be presents

Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Clinical Findings:

, DDx: - ANSWER Scaling Disorders:

Atopic Dermatitis:

Clinical Findings:

DDx:
-Seborrheic dermatitis (less puritic, frequent scalp and central face involvement,
greasy and scaly lesions, quick response to therapy)
-Psoriasis: sharply demarcated thickly scaled plaques
-Secondary staphylococcal or herpetic infections may exacerbate and should
considered during hyper-acute, weeping flares (infra-auricular fissure is a cardinal
signs of secondary infections

Treatment:

General Measures:
-Anything that drys or irritates the skin will potentially trigger
-Sensitive to low humidity and flare in winter
-Do not bath more than 1x/day
-Soap should be confined to arm pits, groin, scalp and feet
-Pat dry and immediately apply emollient or CS
