control or stop them completely
What is the treatment for HSV? Antivirals like acyclovir.
herpes zoster (shingles) acute inflammatory disease of a dermatomal
segment of the skin
along the spinal nerves or spinal tract (Dorsal root
ganglia)
,Shingles vaccine is available and for 50
what age?
What does shingles look like? Cluster of fluid-filled blisters, often in a band
erythematous bases
usually unilaterally
typically in patients over 60 or people with weak
immune support
Mid torso, shoulder/neck, or side of face
Shingles treatments gabapentin for severe cases
Fungal infections etiology microsporum, trichophyton, epidermophyton
tinea pedis fungal infection of the foot; athlete's foot
tinea capitis ringworm of the scalp
Clinical manifestation of fungal Erythematous•
infections Macules/papules or plaques with peripheral
scalingand central clearing•
Vesicular lesions•
Nail thickening and discoloration
Yeast infections undiagnosed immunodeficiencydisorder of
superficial infection of skin and/ormucous
membranes
Monitor overuse of antibiotics this can cause a disruption of normal flora
because __________
Thrush oral candidiasis in the newborn
can happen in adults too

, Clinical manifestation of impetigo o Bullous: veiscles, pustules → golden honey-
colored crust, MC type
o Nonbullous: rapidly progresses from small to large
bullae → rupture "varnish like crusts" → fever,
diarrhea
HIGHLY INFECTIOUS
Becomes non -infectious when it dries up
seborrheic dermatitis an inflammation that causes scaling and itching of the
upper layers of the skin or scalp
high oil production
seborrheic dermatitis clinical various degrees of scaling and erythema in areas of
manifestations high oil gland concentration; for example cradle cap
and dandruff
around nose and face areas
Psoriasis Unknown cause, possibly autoimmune
chronic condition of a silvery, scaly white patches
Psoriasis Clinical Manifestations Lesions are red, raised skin covered by silvery scale
which are often dry and pruritic. If scales pulled away
the base is red and will often bleed.
Often in joints
skin cells are created faster and replenished faster
ance vulgaris obstruction of follicles due to cells andoils result in
an inflamed lesion; arises when sludgingof
sebaceous oils and deposition of loose
epithelialcells
Psoriasis treatment corticosteroids, however, it can cause
immunosuppression and hyperglycemia
