  4. Skin Infections • Viral • Herpes Simplex • Herpes Zoster • Verruca • Molluscum Contagiosum • Allergic/Irritation conditions • Dermatitis • Hives • Eczema • Psoriasis • Sebacous Cysts • Frostbite • Other • Skin checks - moles • Sunburn • Striae

  5. Impetigo

  6. Impetigo • Superficial bacterial infection of the skin • Most commonly Staph or Strep • Thin vesicles with honey colored crusting • Usually on face, hands, neck & extremities • Spread occurs via contact from fingers, towels, clothing • Tx: Topical antibiotics, severe infections need oral

  9. Furuncle

  10. Furuncle (Boil) • Deep extension of superficial folliculitis into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue • Cause – Staph • 1-5 cm red/tender nodule which may contain pus • Tx: • Simple lesions- warm compress • Severe infections – drainage & antibiotics

  11. Carbuncle

  16. Acne • Obstruction of sebaceous follicles (oil glands) • Open comedones or closed comedones • Usually on the face, chest, back • Causes: • Stressful events (hormonal changes) • Friction acne • Oil based cosmetics • NO correlation between chocolate, chips or colas • Tx: topical +/or oral antibiotics

  17. MRSA

  18. MRSA • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus • “super-bug” – caused by staph, unnecessary antibiotic use • Outwits all but the most powerful of drugs – vancomycin • Enters through cuts & wounds • Types: CA (community acquired) or HA (Hospital acquired) • S/S: small red bumps that resememble pimples, quicky turn to painful abscesses that can burrow deep into the body, swelling, redness, pus • Risk Factors: recent hospitalization, long-term care, recent antiobiotic use, young age, contact sports, sharing towels, weak immune system, living in groups, health-care workers • Dx: Tissue sample – 48hrs • Tx: trial & error c strong antiobiotics • Prevention: WASH HANDS, surfaces, cover wounds, use only personal items

  19. Tinea Pedis

  20. Tinea Pedis • Fungal infection - Athlete’s Foot • Rash presents as vesicles/erosions on the soles of the foot as well as between toes • Dx: examine scraping under microscope • Tx: antifungal cream/powders (micronazole), keep feet dry

  21. Tinea Cruris

  22. Tinea Cruris • Fungal infection – Jock itch • Red/scaly rash on inner thighs/inguinal creases; occasionally the buttock, not scrotum or labia • Common in obese patients & athletes in tight fitting clothes • Common in hot/humid weather • Tx: topical antifungal creams

  42. Hives

  43. Hives • An allergic reaction resulting in histamine release • Well defined wheals (solid elevations c central clearing) • Extremely itchy & may result in angioedema • Allergy can be to virtually anything • Tx: antihistamines
