Scaling Disorders:
Atopic Dermatitis:
Essentials of Diagnosis: - ✔✔ correct answer Scaling Disorders:
Atopic Dermatitis:
Essentials of Diagnosis:
-Pruritic, xerotic, exudative or lichenified eruption on face, neck, upper trunk, writs, and hands and
the anecubital and popliteal folds
-Personal or family history of allergic manifestations (eg, asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis).
,Current Medical Diagnosis &
Treatment
-Tendency to recur
-Onset in childhood is most patients. Onset after age 30 is very uncommon

Atopic Dermatitis:
General Considerations: - ✔✔ correct answer Scaling Disorders:
Atopic Dermatitis:
General Considerations:
-Diagnostic criteria must include pruritus, typical morphology and distribution (flexural, hand, nipple
and eyelid in adults), onset in childhood, and chronicity.
-Also helpful are (1) a personal or family history of atopy (asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis,
(2) xerosis-ichthyosis, (3) facial pallor with infraorbital darkening, (4) elevated serum IgE, and (5)
repeated skin infections.

-Seborrheic dermatitis (less puritic, frequent scalp and central face involvement, greasy and scaly
lesions, quick response to therapy)
-Psoriasis: sharply demarcated thickly scaled plaques
-Secondary staphylococcal or herpetic infections may exacerbate and should considered during
hyper-acute, weeping flares (infra-auricular fissure is a cardinal signs of secondary infections
