Does psychological intervention help chronic skin conditions? (1/21)
The objective of the study was to assess the impact of psychological/psychiatric assessment in patients with chronic or intractable dermatological conditions. A diagnostic interview was undertaken in order to pin-point any temporal connection between an adverse life-event and the first appearance of the skin disorder. Following this, the dermatologist's assessment of subsequent changes in the skin disorder were noted. The three main dermatological diagnoses were atopic eczema (10), prurigo (10), and psoriasis (nine). Follow-up was for up to 5 years. A favourable response was noted in 40 out of the 64 patients who participated in the study; this was usually evident within a few weeks and maintained thereafter. Remission was achieved in 12, while 28 showed some improvement. We conclude that this liaison between dermatology and psychiatry proved a valuable adjunct to normal dermatological treatment and was followed by improvement in the majority of patients. (+info)Genetic modeling of abnormal photosensitivity in families with polymorphic light eruption and actinic prurigo. (2/21)
Actinic prurigo and polymorphic light eruption are two of the so-called idiopathic photodermatoses, resulting from abnormal cutaneous responses to ultraviolet radiation (photosensitivity). Whereas they are clinically distinct in most cases, there are sufficient similarities between them to suggest they may be related conditions. To take this further, we examined the prevalence of polymorphic light eruption in families ascertained through actinic prurigo probands, as evidence of a shared pathogenesis. We then determined the heritability of photosensitivity in 420 individuals from families ascertained through polymorphic light eruption and actinic prurigo probands using segregation analysis. Across 58 pedigrees the prevalence of photosensitivity in first-degree relatives was 20.9% compared with a population prevalence of 13.6%, giving a relative risk of 1.5 (confidence interval 1.15-2.0) and providing evidence of clustering within families. The prevalence of photosensitivity (predominantly polymorphic light eruption) in relatives of actinic prurigo probands was 23.7%, with a relative risk of 1.74 (confidence interval 1.24-2.36). Modeling for polymorphic light eruption across all pedigrees revealed a strong genetic component with polymorphic light eruption showing a dominant mixed mode of inheritance. The model parameters estimate that 72% of the U.K. population carry a low penetrance polymorphic light eruption susceptibility allele, but that among this highly prevalent genotype only 24% of susceptible females and 13% of susceptible males will have polymorphic light eruption. Expression of polymorphic light eruption in genetically susceptible individuals (intergenotype variance) is determined in large part by a polygenic component, with an important additional environmental component. In summary, this study provides clear evidence that polymorphic light eruption is an inherited condition. It also suggests that polymorphic light eruption and actinic prurigo share a common genetic background, supporting the view that actinic prurigo may represent a human leukocyte antigen-restricted subset of polymorphic light eruption. (+info)Skin disease in Lambeth. A community study of prevalence and use of medical care. (3/21)
A community survey of skin disease was carried out in Lambeth, London. A postal questionnaire asking recipients to give details of the presence of skin disease was sent to a stratified sample of 2180 adults; a subsample of 614 persons were interviewed at home and an inspection was made of the exposed parts of their skin. Altogether 92 conditions were identified. These were graded for clinical severity and classified into 13 groups. The overall prevalence of skin disease thought to justify medical care was 22-5%. The most common important condition was eczema with a prevalence of 6-1%. Age, sex, and social class trends in prevalence were found in certain groups of skin disease. Of those with a skin disease thought to justify medical care, only 21% reported having attended their general practitioner in the past six months for a skin complaint. The reported use of medical care and self medication is discussed in relation to the presence of skin disease and other factors. (+info)Familial clustering of Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata: an unknown genetic syndrome? (4/21)
BACKGROUND: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is defined as the occurrence of multiple tumorous intraabdominal lesions, which are myomatous nodules. LPD is a rare disease with only about 100 cases reported. The usual course of LPD is benign with the majority of the patients being premenopausal females. Only two cases involving men have been reported, no syndrome or familial occurrence of LPD has been described. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a Caucasian-American family in which six members (three men) are diagnosed with Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) and three deceased family members most likely had LPD (based on the autopsy reports). Furthermore we describe the association of LPD with Raynaud's syndrome and Prurigo nodularis. CONCLUSION: Familial clustering of Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) has not been reported so far. The etiology of LPD is unknown and no mode of inheritance is known. We discuss possible modes of inheritance in the presented case, taking into account the possibility of a genetic syndrome. Given the similarity to other genetic syndromes with leiomyomatosis and skin alterations, we describe possible similar genetic pathomechanisms. (+info)Prurigo pigmentosa treated with doxycycline. (5/21)
Prurigo pigmentosa is characterized by an inflammatory phase with pruritic erythematous papules and a resolution phase with reticulated pigmentation. It is not a well known entity except in Japan. We present a Turkish young man with prurigo pigmentosa treated with doxycycline. (+info)Prurigo pigmentosa: an underdiagnosed disease? (6/21)
Prurigo pigmentosa is a distinctive inflammatory disease first described by the Japanese dermatologist Masaji Nagashima in 1971. It is typified by recurrent, pruritic erythematous macules, papules and papulovesicles that resolve leaving behind netlike pigmentation. The disease is rarely diagnosed outside Japan, because clinicians outside Japan are not well conversant with the criteria for its diagnosis. Only one patient from India has been published previously under the diagnosis of prurigo pigmentosa, a hint that the disease may be under-recognized in India. We present an account of our observations in patients diagnosed with prurigo pigmentosa who were of five different nationalities, namely, Japanese, German, Indonesian, Turkish and Iranian. With this article we seek to increase awareness for the condition among dermatologists in India and we provide criteria for its diagnosis, both clinically and histopathologically.

(+info)Prurigo is a dermatological condition characterized by the development of persistent, itchy papules (small, solid, raised bumps) on the skin. These lesions often result in scratching or rubbing, which can further exacerbate the itching and lead to the formation of new papules. The exact cause of prurigo is not well understood, but it may be associated with various underlying conditions such as atopic dermatitis, diabetes, HIV infection, or chronic renal failure.
There are two main types of prurigo: acute and chronic. Acute prurigo typically lasts for less than six months and is often triggered by an insect bite, drug reaction, or other short-term factors. Chronic prurigo, on the other hand, can persist for years and may be more resistant to treatment.
Prurigo can significantly affect a person's quality of life due to constant itching, discomfort, and potential sleep disturbances. Dermatological evaluation, identification of underlying causes, and appropriate management strategies are essential in addressing this condition effectively.
Photosensitivity disorders refer to conditions that cause an abnormal reaction to sunlight or artificial light. This reaction can take the form of various skin changes, such as rashes, inflammation, or pigmentation, and in some cases, it can also lead to systemic symptoms like fatigue, fever, or joint pain.
The two main types of photosensitivity disorders are:
1. Phototoxic reactions: These occur when a substance (such as certain medications, chemicals, or plants) absorbs light energy and transfers it to skin cells, causing damage and inflammation. The reaction typically appears within 24 hours of exposure to the light source and can resemble a sunburn.
2. Photoallergic reactions: These occur when the immune system responds to the combination of light and a particular substance, leading to an allergic response. The reaction may not appear until several days after initial exposure and can cause redness, itching, and blistering.
It is important for individuals with photosensitivity disorders to avoid excessive sun exposure, wear protective clothing, and use broad-spectrum sunscreens with a high SPF rating to minimize the risk of phototoxic or photoallergic reactions.
Pruritus is a medical term derived from Latin, in which "prurire" means "to itch." It refers to an unpleasant sensation on the skin that provokes the desire or reflex to scratch. This can be caused by various factors, such as skin conditions (e.g., dryness, eczema, psoriasis), systemic diseases (e.g., liver disease, kidney failure), nerve disorders, psychological conditions, or reactions to certain medications.
Pruritus can significantly affect a person's quality of life, leading to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression. Proper identification and management of the underlying cause are essential for effective treatment.
Skin diseases, also known as dermatological conditions, refer to any medical condition that affects the skin, which is the largest organ of the human body. These diseases can affect the skin's function, appearance, or overall health. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, infections, allergies, environmental factors, and aging.
Skin diseases can present in many different forms, such as rashes, blisters, sores, discolorations, growths, or changes in texture. Some common examples of skin diseases include acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, and skin cancer.
The symptoms and severity of skin diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Some skin diseases are mild and can be treated with over-the-counter medications or topical creams, while others may require more intensive treatments such as prescription medications, light therapy, or even surgery.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or persistent changes in your skin, as some skin diseases can be serious or indicative of other underlying health conditions. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases.
