Customized Treatment For Rare Skin Disease Through Genetics

skin No Comments »

For more information on dermatology or #YaleMedicine, visit: https://www.yalemedicine.org/stories/rare-skin-problems-treatment-genetics.

We hear a lot about treatments for skin problems like an acne flare-up, a worrisome mole, or eczema. But there are also quite a few rare, severe skin conditions that can have a major impact on quality of life, whether because they are painful or make you self-conscious about your appearance. Also, skin disorders can affect other parts of the body as well. For instance, erythrokeratodermia-cardiomyopathy (EKC) syndrome is a condition that causes plaques to form on the skin and also heart abnormalities. And people with genetic skin diseases are much more likely to experience depression. “Most disorders have a genetic basis, and in skin diseases, it’s incredibly easy to see them,” says dermatologist Keith Choate, MD, PhD. The unique thing about skin diseases, he says, is that the entire skin is made up of the same cells, performing different roles depending on the location on the body. “When we find a mutation in a new gene, the first thing that we do is ask, ‘What is the normal function of this gene within the skin?”’ Dr. Choate uses genetics to diagnose and treat rare skin diseases. At Yale, over a dozen new genetic skin diseases have been defined, and in some cases, Dr. Choate’s group has been able to develop treatments for them. ac

Living with a rare skin disorder | The Skin We Wear | Full Episode

skin No Comments »

**This documentary contains images that may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.**

Harlequin Ichthyosis is a rare genetic disorder that causes thick and scaly skin that is prone to cracking and constant infections. In the past, babies born with this condition rarely live beyond the first few days. Today, sufferers are able to lead normal and productive lives – but not without obstacles.

From 2-hour long oil baths and constant moisturising, to stares and judgement from strangers, their struggles are physical, social and emotional.

Enter the lives of four individuals coping with Harlequin Ichthyosis in Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Three-year-old Zoe may have lost all her hands due to the condition, but she’s not lost her joy for life. Despite being visibly different, 13-year-old Aliya navigates the teenage years with grace. Two-year-old Ngoc Bich is an orphan in Vietnam, waiting for a family to adopt her. And 26-year-old Mui Thomas’ achievements are proof that a fulfilling life is possible even with a lifelong condition.

skin No Comments »

Melanocytes are one of the cells of the epidermis. They produce the brown-black pigment called melanin which contributes to skin colour.
Albinism, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation are some of the disorders of skin pigmentation. Vitiligo is a skin disorder caused by hypopigmentation of the epidermis due to the loss of melanin.

Overview of Fungal Skin Infections | Tinea Infections

skin No Comments »

Overview of Fungal Skin Infections including Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot), Tinea Corporis (Ringworm), Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch), Tinea Capitis and Tinea Unguium.

Lesson on Tinea (Fungal) Skin Infections. Tinea infections are fungal infections of the skin caused by fungi of the genus trichophyton and epidermophyton. Tinea infections can occur anywhere on any epidermal surface, and each infection is named according to its location. For instance, ringworm can occur on various parts of the body including the face, neck, trunk, arms and legs, but other infections like fungal infection on the feet, is named as “Athlete’s foot”. Another example is tinea capitis, which is a fungal infection of the scalp of the head that can cause hair loss. The clinical presentation of tinea infections is related to the pathphysiology of the fungal species, which involves the fungi metabolizing and digesting a particular protein in our skin, hair and nails. Each tinea infection has particular clinical presentation, and we discuss each of these in detail.

Infestations and infectious diseases of the skin

This is a brief video on infestations of the skin and infectious diseases of the dermis and epidermis.

I created this presentation with Google Slides.
Images were created or taken from Wikimedia Commons
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor.

ADDITIONAL TAGS:
Cellulitis
Bacterial skin infection → red tender plaque, often on lower leg
Might see streaks of lymphangitis to lymph nodes
Fever, high WBCs, tender lymph nodes, pain
Risk factors: trauma/wounds, systemic infxn, edema, inflammatory state, bug bites
Erysipelas
more superficial, shiny, demarcated cellulitis
Notable dermal lymphatic involvement, usually on legs or face
Impetigo
AKA impetigo contagiosum
Superficial bacterial skin infection
Epi: often in children (2-5 yo), spread among contacts
Abscess
Large mass, red, warm, tender
Can drain pus/fluid
Treat with incision and drainage
If pt has multiple abscesses, immunosuppression, or other cellulitis, treat with oral abx
Furuncle: small perifollicular abscess, (boil)
Folliculitis
Bacterial infection of hair follicles
Looks like small, red, pustules with pus
Usually caused by staph aureus
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
Secretion of staph aureus toxin into blood causes systemic blisters
“Skin peels away in sheets
Necrotizing fasciitis
Bacterial infection of fascia, spreads quickly
Pain unproportional to physical exam findings
Secondary syphilis
Second stage/presentation of sexually transmitted infection syphilis caused by bacterium Treponema pallidum
Secondary syphilis presents with diffuse rash which frequently involves palms of hands, soles of fee
Dermatophytes
Named “tinea _____” for the site of infection
Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) → foot
Shoes create moisture → infected in public gym, pools, showers
Scaling/redness
Often recurs
Three patterns: interdigital, vesiculobullous, and moccasin types
Can involve nails → onychomycosis (requires oral antifungals (terbinafine) bc poor access with topicals)
Treat with hygiene (change socks, foot powder for dryness) and topical antifungals (imidazoles, allylamines, ciclopirox)
Can lead to lower leg cellulitis (fungal infxn creates portal of entry for bacteria)
Tinea corporis (ringworm) → trunk and limbs
Ring shaped lesion with central clearing → “ringworm”
Causes itching, affects all ages, often asymmetric
Treat similar to tinea pedis, use oral antifungals (terbinafine and fluconazole in severe cases)
Tinea cruris is similar in groin area
Tinea capitis → scalp and hair
Tinea (pityriasis) versicolor
AKA dermatomycosis furfuracea, tinea flava
Eruption of macules/patches on the skin, can be many colors .. tan, salmon, hypopigmented patches or macules
Usually on trunk
Diaper candidiasis
Presents in infant with red erosions in diaper area, with satellite lesions, involving skin folds
Pathogenesis: urease in feces breaks down urea from urine into ammonia → irritates skin → candida from feces enters the skin
Candidal intertrigo
Chicken pox
AKA varicella
Herpes zoster
AKA shingles
Herpes simplex
Kaposi sarcoma
Verruca vulgaris
AKA common wart
Genital warts
Sexually transmitted disease caused by HPV
→ verrucous sessile exophytic papules on external genitalia, perineum, perianal, inguinal fold
Extensive infection in immunocompromised (HIV, organ transplant)
HPV types 6 and 11 typically cause genital warts (recall 16 and 18 cause high grade intraepithelial neoplasia
Prevent with gardasil vaccine, protect against types 6, 11, 16, 18
Treatment: cryotherapy, electrocautery, laser, surgery, imiquimod (TLR7/8 agonist to stimulate immune system
Molluscum contagiosum
Pediculosis
AKA pediculosis capitis, lice
Lice infestation of the human head
Caused by human louse Pediculus humanus var capitis
Causes scalp pruritis (itchiness), might cause posterior cervical lymphadenopathy
Scabies
AKA seven-year itch
Contagious skin infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei
Bed bugs
Human parasite that feeds on human blood found in bedding and sleep areas, active at night
Most common bed bug is Cimex lectularius
