23 Skin disease Questions Question 1 Other than Staphylococcus aureus, which pathogens cause furuncles? Question 2 Can a skin disease, in particular a fungal disease, cause enlarged, tender lymph nodes? Question 3 In a 5-month-old baby with eczema: 1. What is the best treatment? 2. What is the prognosis? 3. What is the benefit of cleaning the affected areas with cold water? Question 4 Does psoriasis cause the formation of hypopigmented patches? Question 5 What is the suggested treatment for black spots on the face? What is the latest recommended treatment for acne? Question 6 1. Are there any side-effects from long-term use (2-3 months) of a topical antibiotic for acne vulgaris? 2. Is folliculitis related to the condition or the treatment in any way? Question 7 Is there a diagnostic test for acne rosacea? If intermittent facial flushing occurs on a regular basis, what other diagnosis might be reached? Question 8 Where can I find a model algorithm for the investigation of pruritus? Question 9 I would like to ask why moles form, particularly on the skin of the face. What is their non-surgical treatment? Question 10 In a patient with malignant melanoma, what do the following increasing values of thymidine kinase (mitotic index = 2) Breslow = 3; Clark = 4 predict? Question 11 What prognosis can be expected when a malignant melanoma is diagnosed with the results of Clark 4 and Breslow 3? Question 12 I have been wondering about the colouring of the skin in patients with haemochromatosis. You write ‘bronze skin pigmentation (due to melanin deposition)’, but I can’t understand where the increased melanin comes from? An increased production of melanin-stimulating hormone (MSH) doesn’t seem to fit in well with the decreased function of the gland regarding other hormones. Question 13 Please explain how to make a positive identification of vitiligo. I would be grateful if you could suggest further reading material for this condition. Question 14 Is there a common association between vitiligo and hypothyroidism? Question 15 Can a shagreen patch in tuberous sclerosis be bluish in colour? Question 16 What medical and minimally invasive therapy is available in Pakistan and in India for palmar hyperhidrosis? Question 17 Some people suffer with a non-hairy beard, others with fine and scanty hair. What treatment would you advise for both extremes? Only gold members can continue reading.
