What is the largest organ in the body? - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Skin
small reddish to purple macules or papules can develop anywhere in body in
response to physical trauma. - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Petechiae
Purplish macules or papules result from bleeding under skin secondary to
inadequate clotting mechanisms - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Purpura
Appears shiny w/ rolled pearly border; typically has telangiectasis (small spider
veins) on its surface. The skin cancer grows slowly and rarely metastasizes. - --
<<ANSWER IS>>---Basal cell carcinoma
second most frequently found skin cancer is related to sun exposure - --
<<ANSWER IS>>---Squamous cell carcinoma
,is identified by the ABCDEs of skin cancer detection. Metastasizes quickly - --
<<ANSWER IS>>---Malignant melanoma
fungus commonly found in skinfolds or generally warm and moist areas.
Commonly effected sites are the axillae and groin. Wash and dry between skin
folds in clinical! Need antifungal to treat. Powder and lotion wont cure. - --
<<ANSWER IS>>---Candida
Estimates percentage of total body surface area burned in adults. Different areas
are sectioned into numerical values related to the pictures. Note the anterior and
posterior head equate 9% each - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Wallace rule of nines
Linear break in skin surface, not related to trauma - --<<ANSWER IS>>---fissure
Fluid-like, less than 1 cm diameter
Ex: herpes simplex, chicken pox - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Vesicle
Ex: Partial-thickness burns, bullous impetigo
>1cm in diameter
(Looks like a big bulging bubble under the skin) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Bulla
Distinct and walled-off, containing fluid or semisolid material, varies in size
Looks like a knot under the skin - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Cyst
Loss of epidermal layer, usually not extending into dermis or subcutaneous layer
,Ex: aphthous stomatitis
(little place of breakdown in the mouth on the gums) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Erosion
bacterial infection of deep skin tissues, often preceded in minor wound to the
area allowing bacteria to invade the tissue. This can occur anywhere and is
characterized by swelling, redness, warmth, and tenderness or pain. Look for
unilateral edema, warmth and redness - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Cellulitis
Yellow discoloration of the skin, sclera, or buccal mucosa - --<<ANSWER IS>>---
Jaundice
This opportunistic skin infection is consequence of impaired immune status, such
as associated with AIDS. Lesions generally occur on the nose, penis, and
extremities, although with advanced HIV, distribution may be more generalized.
Improved immune status may cause resolution. - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Karposi
Sarcoma
Lesion resulting from scratching or excessive rubbing of skin
Ex: cat scratches - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Excoriation
Pallor of fingers and toes in response to cold - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Raynaud
phenomenon
Peripheral neuropathy in diabetes
(looks like a chunk missing out of the heel of the foot) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---
Neuropathic ulcer
, may appear around second trimeter and caused by hormones
(brown line going vertically down a pregnant women's stomach) - --<<ANSWER
IS>>---Linea nigra
Stretch marks - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Striae
Common on newborns. Teach parents not to squeeze
(little wet bumps on the newborns face) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Milia
aka mask of pregnancy. From increased hormones causing increased pigmentation
(color spots on pregnant women's face) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Melasma
fine hair that lessens closer to term (helps vernix stick to skin) - --<<ANSWER IS>>-
--Lanugo
Protects skin from amniotic fluid - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Vernix
Patches of skin lose pigment
(looks like really big birth marks, large color spots) - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Vitiligo
Excessive collagen formation when scar is formed - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Keloid
Athletes foot - --<<ANSWER IS>>---Tinea pedis
