Clin Med: Derm Exam
flat
circumscribed
less than 0. 5 cm: define macule
- small, solid elevation
less than 0.5 cm: define a papule
a macule that's e0.5 cm: define patch
a papule e0.5 cm: define plaque
- well circumscribed
solid elevation
goes deeper than a papule or plaque (into dermis)
0.5-2cm: define nodule
- mass >2 cm
deeper than papule or plaque (into dermis): define tumor
- transient
round-ish
raised coin lesion
pale to deep red: define wheal
- elevated
- <0.5 cm
contains purulent exudates: define pustule
- circumscribed
containes clear liquid
<0.5 cm: define vesicle
,- vesicle that's >0.5 cm: define bulla
- loose flaking fragments on skin surface
any size: define scale
- dried exudate on skin's surface: define crust
- loss of epidermis and partial thickness loss of dermis
superficial
depressed
moist
equivalent of stage 2 pressure ulcer: define erosion
,- through dermis, full thickness (stage 2 through 4): define ulcer
- an uncer with an eschar so you can't tell how deep it is: define unstageable ulcer
fibrin with platelets and WBCs: what is an eschar
- linear crack or break in epidermis to the dermis
moist or dry: what is a fissure
- thinning and loss of elasticity
shiny appearance
loss of hair and subcutaneous fat: what is atrophy, how does it appear
- stretch marks
tearing of dermis
can be influenced by hormones
striae gracidarum= preg: what is striae distensae, what can affect them, what is a
specific kind
breasts, thighs, hips, lower back, butt: where do you tend to find striae gravidarum
- fibrous tissue which can be thick or thin
hypertrophic scar= excess collagen in normal architectural pattern (within borders o
original wound)
keloid = excess collagen in bizarre architectural pattern and which fails to cicatrize:
what is a cicatrix, what are the different forms
- elevated
well circumscribed
encapsulated
filled with liquid or another solid material: what is a cyst
- subcutaneous or intracutaneous tunnels from parasites
skin inflammes from eggs/feces: what is a burrow
, - thickening and roughening of the skin
exaggeration of skin markings usually caused by rubbing: what is lichenification
- superficial removal of epidermis
caused by scratching/rubbing: what is excoriation/abrasion
Koebner Phenomenon=>
only when psoriasis
new psoriatic lesions appear along lines of trauma: what is the Koebner
Phenomenon
