Another case to discuss, Cylindroma on 91yo female abdomen. it’s multiple in dermatomal distribution with extreme pain. There is this nerve entrapment at the base of the section. Histology seems benign but somewhat infiltrated nodules at the base. Q below #dermpath #derm 
It is challenging to treat, and also a concern if this is malignant based on clinical behavior. I am suggesting to excise the prominent nodules with local radiation for the rest of small nodules in the region. Any other thoughts ?
This patient has no history of syndromic features, but she had to remove 2 ft intestines in the past(I couldn’t get the detail but assume obstruction or diverticulitis).

The last few days on #medtwitter have been difficult. Seeing so many happy "I matched!" emails interspersed with devastating news of not matching makes you question the entire system. And there's reason to. There are a lot of problems, and not very easy solutions. A few here...1/
Medical training is too expensive – in time, tuition, & opportunity costs. This makes Match Day the ultimate high-stakes situation. The costs of not matching are unfathomable. 2/
The costs of higher education in this country must be addressed. Professional & graduate degrees should not be reserved for the privileged. Certain specialties should not be available based on socioeconomic class, race/ethnicity, or background. 3/

Onychomycosis is more common in adults than kids.
Trauma, diabetes, immunosuppression, tinea pedis, psoriasis, and family history are some risk factors
Pro tip- check the feet for tinea pedis if you suspect onychomycosis!

Let's start with a question - What percentage of leg ulcers do you think is caused by venous stasis?
2/
Roughly half (40-50%) of all leg ulcers are the result of venous stasis! Since 1% of the population will get stasis ulcers at some point, it's quite common, both in the inpatient & outpatient settings!
While some say they aren't painful, many of my patients would disagree....

Let's talk exam. These ulcers are predominantly on the lower legs, and often near the medial malleolus. They're usually chronic, so they may have a base covered by yellow fibrinous debris. They tend to be shallow, and given the pathophysiology, quite exudative.

No where else on the body does a rash evoke more of a knee-jerk differential. That's not wrong per se, as we all learn this in med school, but it's more complicated then starting doxycycline and checking an RPR!

Technically, "acral" just means our distal body parts. So while we often think of palms and soles, it's actually inclusive of the whole hand, the whole foot, ears, and some include even the nose!

Ah, prednisone. One of the most frequently used drugs in our specialty, and in many across the board in medicine. Useful for quick suppression of an overactive immune system, whether that be because of autoimmunity, or acute infection. But how does it work?

The point is that there are so many potential mechanisms, that it's hard to point at one particular enzyme or pathway to explain all its effects. This paper address many of them, but my main takeaway is that we don't know everything! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

#Pyodermagagrenosum is a rare ulcerating skin condition that most of us think of in conjunction with IBD. PG can be associated with other things too, so if there’s no IBD, we should also consider other triggers, like the possibility of paraneoplastic processes.
2/

PG is a neutrophilic dermatosis, so like Sweet Syndrome, it starts as a pustule, & ulcerates from there. Remember pathergy is a classic associated finding with neutrophilic derms. See my #tweetorial on sweet syndrome for a discussion of pathergy!

It wasn’t until #dermatology residency I learned about all the subtypes of cutaneous lupus (CLE)! I thought it was all just one disease: SLE. But in reality there are many forms of CLE, each with its own implications on systemic involvement and effect on the patient.
2/

Let’s start with the 3 subtypes:
Acute, Subacute, and Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ACLE, SCLE, CCLE). CCLE is aka Discoid.
Each subtype "overlaps" with SLE in a different way.
Eg: ACLE overlaps completely with SLE, so they all have SLE! 👇

What exactly is scabies? Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis is the technical name of this parasitic mite that burrows into the skin (itchy yet?😆). It is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and has humbled many a #dermatologist.
It has a very characteristic look under the scope!

On exam, most know the classic distribution: interdigital spaces (pic1). However, other places to look include the areola, axilla, and umbilicus. In kids, the lesions tend to be all over the place (perhaps because they aren't as good at scratching them off! - pic2).

BUGBITES and STINGS!

First of all, did you know that #dermatologists refer to bug bites and stings as an "arthropod assault?" In case you ever wanted to throw that into your next conversation....
2/
2/
While there are some rashes that can be classic for certain types of bites/stings, many are rather nondescript. So when you see a #dermatologist with what looks like bug bites, we are often making an educated guess. Classically, you see pink edematous papules/plaques.

There are many types of skin cancer, but we'll focus on the big 3 in this #thread. We'll discuss basal cell carcinoma (BCC), Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) & melanoma. The first two are types of "non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)," or more aptly named "keratinocytic carcinomas."
2/

BCCs are the most common cancer diagnosed. Classically described as "pink pearly papules," they often have "arborizing" (tree-like) telangiectasias. But, they don't always have to look classic. The 1st pic is the classic, but the others are also BCCs (superficial & pigmented)!

Truly the workhorse of the #dermatologist's medicine chest, topical steroids are great for a multitude of reasons:
- Delivery straight to the organ of interest
- Systemic absorption is usually minimal
- Can be cheap (usually)
What on skin exam best suggests steroids may work?

Erythema is a great indicator that there is inflammation. As such, topical steroids may be a good treatment option. However, there are some reasons NOT to use topical steroids. For example, if the rash is infectious (eg: tinea in photo1, herpes in photo2), steroids = no bueno.

First of all, the name AGEP can be confusing, but really all it is a description (we dermatologists just like to sound #fancy). If you break it down, Acute (really quick onset) generalized (everywhere), exanthematous (rash-y), pustulosis (pustules)!

The exam is red plaques studded with pustules (see photo). These pustules can coalesce and become "lakes of pus!" The 2nd picture doesn't have pustules b/c all of them came together, lifted off, and left the "collarette" of scale (which means there's a footprint leftover!

Most likely organisms are staph or strep. Abx choice targets those organisms. For a non-purulent cellulitis in a non-sick pt (1 or fewer SIRS criteria), oral abx are good. IV for non-responders or those with 2 or >SIRS. Check out the algorithm from: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

The first ? we usually ask: "What is the level of the split?" That helps to distinguish between the #pemphigus group of diseases where the desmosome is involved in the epidermis, and the #pemphigoid group where the hemi-desmosome is involved at the basement membrane zone.

3/
This correlates with the exam! Higher up in the epidermis means a thinner walled blister that's more fragile. So these are usually flaccid bullae. Deeper down means tense bullae. Photo 1 is pemphigus - see how droopy the bulla is? Vs photo 2 of pemphigoid, which stands up.

What is RMS? It's a hypersensitivity reaction, most commonly reported to vancomycin. However, it's been reported with other anti-infectives too (including cipro, rifampin, amphotericin, etc). What is the usual distribution seen clinically with RMS?
2/

RMS usually occurs around the head and neck and upper torso. That's why it's other name is "Red Neck Syndrome." The clinical exam is described as flushing & erythema. Patients complain of pruritus, & can also get pain, spasms, and even hypotension!
