Dermatologic Terminology
MORPHOLOGY describes the type of
individual lesion (flat vs raised, scales,
color, shape, consistency, etc)
 Primary lesions
macule, patch, papule, plaque,
nodule, vesicle, bulla, pustule
 Secondary lesions
 crusts, erosions, ulcers, fissures,
scars, scale
UMDNJ PANCE/PANRE Review

Actinic Keratosis (solar keratosis)
Small, lightly pigmented
Rough to touch
Sun-exposed
p
areas
Considered premalignant
Tx – liquid nitrogen
fluorouracil (Efudex) 2%,5% soln; 5% crm
imiquimod 5% crm (Aldara)
diclofenac sodiuim 3% gel (Solaraze)

Skin Cancer Risk Factors
Fair complexion
Light hair/eyes
Hx of blistering sunburn
sunburn, especially
as a child
Increased sun exposure
Family history

Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Arises primarily from prior actinic
keratosis
Varied appearance
Can appear on any area of skin, but
face and hands most common
Course varies with grade of malignancy
Cure rates usually high if treated early
Bowen’s disease = SCC in situ

depression and pearly border;

g
>90% on head and neck; bleeding
common
Metastasis rare

Atopic Dermatitis

Management
Therapeutic lifestyle issues
Topical corticosteroids
Tacrolimus ointment (Protopic
0 1% and 0.03%
0.1%
0 03% strengths)
Pimecrolimus (Elidel 0.1%)
Systemic steroids only for
extensive, severe cases
Oral antihistamines can aid pruritus
UMDNJ PANCE/PANRE Review
Course
Topicals: vehicle choice as
important as active ingredient
Ointments – most hydrating, use in
chronic
Creams – more drying, better for
acute/subacute
Gels – best for acute, weeping lesions
Lotions – can be drying, good for moist
intertrigenous areas or scalp
Foams – newer vehicle, likely similar to
lotions
UMDNJ PANCE/PANRE Review

Contact Dermatitis
Irritant – result of chemical
exposure
Chronic vs acute
 Affected area clue; severity varies
widely
 History of AD increases risk
 Detergents and industrial cleaners
common

Allergic contact dermatitis - develops
after exposure to chemicals to which
the individual has become sensitized
 Initially confined to area of contact,
later can spread beyond
 Progression: erythema-papulesvesicles-erosions-crusts-scaling
