trigger factors
Dust mite

(common)
Sweating
Sand (e.g. in sandpits)

LICHEN SIMPLEX CHRONICUS

Circumscribed thick plaques of lichenification
Caused by repeated rubbing and

scratching of previously normal skin
Due to chronic itch of unknown cause
At sites within reach of fingers (e.g. neck, forearms, thighs, vulva, heels, fingers)
May arise from habit
Treatment
Refrain from scratching
Topical corticosteroid ointment

CONTACT DERMATITIS Site and shape suggest contact Dermatitis ranges from faint

CONTACT DERMATITIS

Site and shape suggest contact
Dermatitis ranges from faint erythema to

‘water melon’ face oedema
Worse in peri-orbital region, genitalia and hairy skin
Think of Rhus, Grevillea or poison ivy allergy
if linear blisters on forearms and/or puffy eyes
Improvement when off work or on holiday

Treatment
Determine cause and remove it
Topical corticosteroid
Oral prednisolone for severe cases

clinical features:
Bilateral
redness in lighter skin tones that may appear

brown, purple, gray or ashen in darker skin tones
itching
scaling
dryness
a heavy or achy feeling after long periods of sitting or standing
increased risk of developing contact dermatitis

Treatment
compression stockings
diuretics
elevating legs above the heart
for red or

darker-colored, itchy skin, dermatologists may prescribe a topical corticosteroid
topical or oral antibiotic if skin is infected

SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS

Adults

Any age from teenage onwards
Quite pruritic
The head is a common

area: scalp and ears, face, eyebrows, eyelids, nasolabial folds
Less involvement of inguinal areas
Scaling on scalp causing dandruff and/or erythematous patches
Worse with stress and fatigue
It is a chronic, recurring condition

CELLULITIS Cellulitis is a common bacterial infection The most common bacteria

CELLULITIS

Cellulitis is a common bacterial infection
The most common bacteria causing cellulitis

are Streptococcus pyogenes (two-thirds of cases) and Staphylococcus aureus (one third)
Clinical features:
Cellulitis can affect any site, most often a limb and can be around the eye – periorbital cellulitis
unilateral
It can occur by itself or complicate an underlying skin condition or wound.

Erythematous, edematous and warm skin
Risk factors:
Anything that causes a break in

the skin

Venous insufficiency or impaired lymphatic drainage
Immunosuppression
Obesity

NECROTIZING FASCIITIS Necrotising fasciitis is a very serious bacterial infection of

NECROTIZING FASCIITIS

Necrotising fasciitis is a very serious bacterial infection of the

soft tissue and fascia
The bacteria multiply and release toxins and enzymes that result in thrombosis in the blood vessels.
The result is the destruction of the soft tissues and fascia.
There is poor adherence of tissue to the fascia on incising the site.
Necrotic tissue/pus oozes out of the fascial planes.
Dishwater-coloured fluid seeps out of the skin.
Typically, necrotising fasciitis does not bleed
Слайд 23

NECROTIZING FASCIITIS Treatment Immediate surgical debridement The third generation cephalosporins + Clinda
