The Fundamentals of Dermatologic Diagnosis Mary E. Hurley, MD Clinical Instructor, UTSW Private Practice, Presbyterian Hospital Dallas
Slide 2-

What is most difficult of all? It is what appears most simple: to see with your eyes what lies in front of your eyes. Goethe
Slide 3-

General Observation Start gathering data the moment you walk in the room Ask yourself the following questions Is the patient awake, alert, and responsive? well appearing? acutely ill appearing? chronically ill appearing? in distress or uncomfortable?

Slide 5-

History and Review of Systems Make sure you ask appropriate questions in the history and review of systems. What is the location of the problem? How long have they had the problem? Does is itch? Is it painful? What makes it better or worse? What treatments have they tried? Is the patient on any medicines? Does the patient have a family history of skin disease or skin cancer?
Slide 6-

The Skin Exam Perform a total body skin exam in a systematic and deliberate manner. This includes the entire skin surface, the hair, the nails, the conjunctiva, and the oral and genital mucosa. Ideally, the patient would remove undergarments and wear an examination gown only.
Slide 7-

The Skin Exam Be sure to examine the oral mucosa! Oral erosion in SLE.
Slide 8-

The Skin Exam Melanoma can appear anywhere. If you don’t look, you will miss it, and the patient may miss an opportunity for therapy.
Slide 9-

The Skin Exam Examination of the skin is an essential part of a thorough patient encounter. Observation and palpation are the two most important aspects of the skin exam. Please seek to examine a patient’s entire skin surface. Patient wearing a gown Preserve modesty Good lighting is essential. Natural light is optimal.

The Skin Exam Specific language used to describe the characteristics of skin lesions Distribution Arrangement Type of lesion Primary lesion Secondary lesion Color Features based on touch/palpation
Slide 11-

Distribution Generalized vs localized Exposed vs non-exposed Sun-exposed vs non-sun-exposed Acral (head, neck and extremities) vs truncal Extensor (posterior arms, anterior legs) vs flexor (anterior arms, posterior legs) surfaces Bilateral vs unilateral Upper vs lower extremity Dermatomal (following the distribution of a spinal nerve root) Hair-bearing (non-glabrous) vs non-hair-bearing (glabrous) skin Follicular vs perifollicular vs non-follicular Seborrheic (areas with high concentrations of sebaceous glands: e.g. brows, nasolabial folds) Facial, periocular, perioral Intertriginous (areas where skin folds on itself) Mucous membrane Sites of pressure Sites of trauma (koebnerization) Palmo-plantar Periungual (around the fingernails)

Secondary Lesions: changes in skin which are superimposed or are the consequence of the primary process Scale - desquamating layers of stratum corneum. Crust- dried serum, blood or purulent exudate. Crusts are a sign of pyogenic infection. Lichenification - skin thickening that is the result of chronic rubbing leading to accentuation of normal skin lines. Atrophy- epidermal atrophy results from a decrease in the number of epidermal cell layers. Dermal atrophy results from a decrease in the dermal connective tissue. Scar- a lesion formed as a result of dermal damage. Excoriation - superficial excavations of the epidermis that result from scratching. Fissure - a linear painful crack in the skin.

The Skin Exam Observe the patient’s skin color. Substances contributing to the skin’s color include: melanin (brown) and carotenoids (yellow) in the epidermis oxyhemoglobin (red, located in arterial plexus) and reduced hemoglobin (bluish-red, located in the venous plexus) in the dermis increased pigmentation may suggest Addison’s disease or metastatic melanoma yellow color may suggest jaundice from liver disease cyanosis or a bluish color to the lips may suggest hypoxia

The Skin Exam Palpate and observe the patient’s skin for level of moisture, temperature, texture, mobility and turgor. dry, rough skin may suggest hypothyroidism moist, warm skin may suggest an underlying febrile illness or hyperthyroidism excoriations may suggest a pruritic skin eruption such as scabies or an underlying systemic disease such as lymphoma tight, bound-down skin over the hands or face may suggest a diagnosis of scleroderma

Consider the use of diagnostic aids Magnify the lesions with a hand lens or using epiluminescence microscopy (using a hand lens with magnification and lighting built in to better visualize lesions).
Slide 77-

Consider the use of diagnostic aids Use a wood’s lamp (long wavelength ultraviolet light) to examine if a lesion is hypo or depigmented or to see if a fungal infection fluoresces.
Slide 78-

Consider the use of diagnostic aids Use diascopy (press a transparent, firm object such as a glass slide against a lesion) to determine if an erythematous lesion blanches. If the lesion blanches or loses its erythematous color, this suggests that the erythema is due to capillary dilation. If the lesion does not blanch or lose its red color, this suggests that the erythema is due to extravasation of blood (this can result from vasculitis or destruction of the vessel wall).
