4.5 Ichthyosis
Ichthyosis is a group of cutaneous disorders characterized by skin that is dry, thickened, and scaly. The condition may be either hereditary or acquired. The most common form is ich­thyosis vulgaris which is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that is estimated to affect 1in 250 individuals [6]. The disorder typically presents early in childhood and tends to improve with age. It is often seen in association with atopic dermatitis.
The classic sh-skin stigmata of ichthyosis vulgaris is the result of dysregulated keratinization in the skin. This abnor­mal keratinization is associated with mutations in over 50 genes that encode for proteins and enzymes involved in mul­tiple cellular functions including skin barrier homeostasis [7]. Epidermal hyperplasia results in the formation of excess stratum corneum and the characteristic scaly skin. Individuals with ichthyosis have diminished or absent prolaggrin which is synthesized in the granular layer of the epidermis and is a major component of keratohyalin granules [8].
Diagnosis of ichthyosis vulgaris is based on the physical ndings and family history. The disorder is chronic and often requires continuous therapy. Topical alpha-hydroxy acids, such as ammonium lactate, are a mainstay of treatment. These agents work by decreasing corneocyte adhesion in the outer stratum corneum. Acquired ichthyosis is rare, usually appears in adulthood, and may be a marker of systemic dis­ease including malignancy [9] (Fig.4.6).

4.6 Palmoplantar Keratoderma
Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is dened as a persistent thickening of the epidermis of palms and soles and includes genetic and acquired types [10]. Hereditary PPKs are rare and may be inherited either as an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner. Inherited PPKs are caused by mutations that result in abnormalities of keratin. Some forms may be associated with dental abnormalities and hearing loss.
Diagnosis of the various hereditary PPKs is based on per­sonal and family history, histopathological ndings, and genetic testing to identify subtypes. PPKs are subdivided into diffuse, focal, striate (palms), and punctate forms. Diffuse PPKs, which are the most common, involve the entire palm or sole with or without a strict demarcation. Focal PPKs are associated with painful calluses that often involve the heels, whereas punctate PPKs have small punc­tate keratosis that can be pitted or project extra-dermally.
Acquired palmoplantar keratodermas may be focal or dif­fuse in nature and may be associated with internal disease, medications, and malignancy. Findings associated with underlying conditions merit additional workup.

Topical treatment with keratolytics such as urea, salicylic acid, and lactic acid, along with debridement, may provide relief. Some cases improve with oral retinoids (Fig.4.7).
4 Xerotic andHyperkeratotic Disorders oftheLower Extremity
4.7 Porokeratosis
Porokeratoses are disorders of keratinization that have a dening histologic feature, the cornoid lamellae. This is dened as columns of parakeratosis (retention of nuclei in keratinocytes within the stratum corneum) “resting on a depression where the granular layer is reduced or absent” [10]. There are several types of porokeratoses: porokeratosis of Mibelli, disseminated supercial porokeratosis, porokera­tosis palmaris et plantaris disseminata, and the linear and punctate types [11]. Squamous cell carcinomas may uncom­monly develop within porokeratosis and lesions should be monitored periodically for change [12].
Porokeratosis plantar discreta is a separate entity that has similar clinical features to porokeratosis of Mibelli [13, 14] but differs from a true porokeratosis histologically [15]. These focal and isolated lesions are more aptly referred to as plantar keratosis or punctate keratosis. A more appropriate term to describe a focal and isolated plantar keratotic lesion is plantar keratosis or punctate keratosis (Fig.4.8).
4.8 Topical Therapies forXerotic
Conditions
Topical dermatologic agents are utilized to decrease scale and transepidermal water loss enhancing the epidermal skin barrier.
Keratolytics Urea, salicylic acid, and lactic acid creams and
lotions help remove excessive scale and soften keratin. They
Fig. 4.8 Disseminated supercial actinic porokeratosis of the leg
may enhance the penetration of topical steroids when used in combination. Urea is used for debridement and normaliza­tion of hyperkeratotic surface lesions associated with xerosis and ichthyosis. Urea gently dissolves the intracellular matrix, loosens the horny layer of skin, and sheds scaly skin at regu­lar intervals, softening hyperkeratotic areas. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant and lactic acid is most appropriate for mild to moderate xerosis.
Moisturizers Over-the-counter emollients can be used to
restore the function of the epidermal barrier, decrease tran­sepidermal water loss (TEWL), and soothe the skin. Products are best applied within a few minutes of toweling off after bathing. Emollients, when combined with topical steroids may prolong remission and reduce ares.

Papulosquamous Disorders
https://t.me/medicina_free
oftheLower Extremity
5
Papulosquamous eruptions are a heterogeneous group of dis­orders characterized by papules, patches, or plaques associ­ated with varying degrees of scaling. Lesions are usually marginated and, in acute stages, manifest erythema which at the extreme is bright red in appearance. Scale is a manifesta­tion of thickened stratum corneum and papules and plaques result from acanthosis (thickening of the epidermis) or underlying dermal inltration [1]. Papulosquamoid erup­tions that are commonly encountered on the lower extremity include psoriasis, lichen planus, and lichen striatus. Some skin conditions, such as tinea corporis and mycosis fungoi­des, may be papulosquamoid in appearance.
5.1 Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inammatory disor­der that aficts 3% of the US population [2]. Although skin lesions are the most prominent feature of psoriasis, the con­dition is a complex, multisystem disease associated with joint involvement, cardiovascular comorbidities, and decreased quality of life [3]. Individuals with psoriasis have an enhanced incidence of anxiety and depression.
Up to 90% of patients with psoriasis have the plaque sub­type which is characterized by sharply demarcated plaques with an adherent scale. Nails may manifest pitting, onychol­ysis, and oil-drop discoloration. Psoriatic arthritis is a spon­dyloarthropathy that often presents as an asymmetrical oligoarthritis which over time can result in signicant joint destruction. Associated ndings include enthesitis and dactylitis.
Guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic psoriasis are less frequently encountered variants. Guttate psoriasis mani­fests as small, scattered, erythematous, well-dened scaly lesions predominantly on the trunk. The condition may arise in children or adolescents following a streptococcal infec­tion. Inverse psoriasis appears in the exural creases on areas such as the groin, axillae, and under the breasts. This form
presents as shiny, red, well-demarcated patches without scale. Multiple sterile pustules are the hallmark of pustular psoriasis, which can be generalized or localized to the hands and soles of the feet (palmoplantar psoriasis). Erythrodermic psoriasis is characterized by widespread inammation and exfoliation, often over a large body surface area. When extensive, this disorder requires prompt diagnosis and treat­ment to prevent hospitalization.
Topical corticosteroids are rst line treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis and are available in a variety of strengths and formulations including creams, ointments, gels, solu­tions, and foams [4]. Topical corticosteroids have anti­inammatory and vasoconstrictive properties. Vitamin D analogues and vitamin A derivatives are also used topically to treat psoriasis. Salicylic acid and coal tar formulations are available over the counter but lack the efcacy of prescrip­tion topical agents.
Acitretin, cyclosporine, and methotrexate are oral sys­temic medications used to treat moderate to severe psoriasis. All require some degree of laboratory monitoring and ef­cacy is variable [5]. Acitretin is teratogenic and can raise serum triglyceride levels. Cyclosporine, especially if contin­ued long-term, can impair renal function. Methotrexate also is teratogenic and may induce leukopenia, pulmonary bro­sis, elevation of liver enzymes, and, on rare occasions, cir­rhosis. Apremilast, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, is the most recently approved oral agent for the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Laboratory monitoring is not required, but gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and diarrhea may be encountered. The introduction of biologic therapies has revolutionized the treatment of psoriasis [6]. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL) inhibitors are biologic agents that selectively inhibit cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder. The majority are admin­istered subcutaneously, and dosing schedules range from weekly to quarterly depending on the agent. Tuberculosis testing is required and all of the agents carry warnings of increased risk for infection (Figs.5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5).

Lichen planus is a chronic inammatory autoimmune disor­der believed to be mediated by cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells [7]. The condition can affect the skin, nails, and oral mucosa. Classic skin ndings are at-topped, polygonal, erythema-
5.3 Lichen Striatus
https://t.me/medicina_free
Fig. 5.5 Onycholysis, discoloration, subungual debris, and pitting are all associated with nail psoriasis
tous to violaceous papules. The wrists and ankles are the most common sites of involvement and affected individuals experience itching of variable intensity. Hypertrophic lichen planus is a variant characterized by hyperpigmented plaques. This form is most prevalent in blacks and invariably involves the lower legs. Mucosal lichen planus often presents as a white lacey pattern termed Wickham striae. Ulcerations are the hallmark of erosive oral lichen planus. Disease of the nails may manifest with thinning of the nail plate, splitting, and pterygium formation.
Most cases of lichen planus are idiopathic although some are induced by medications and possibly by hepatitis C viral infection [8]. Skin lesions typically clear spontaneously within a 2 year period. First line therapies include potent topical steroids and, for more severe cases, oral or intramus­cular steroids. Hypertrophic lichen planus may respond to intralesional steroids although post-inammatory hyperpig­mentation is a common sequela (Figs.5.6 and 5.7).

Fig. 5.6 Lichen planus is a papulosquamous eruption that presents with at-topped violaceous papules affecting primarily the wrists and ankles
5.3 Lichen Striatus
Lichen striatus is a unilateral, self-limited eruption that fol­lows the so-called lines of Blaschko [9]. The etiology is unknown but a signicant percentage of affected individuals relate a family history of atopic dermatitis. The condition most commonly occurs in preteen and adolescent females and may involve either the trunk or extremities. The onset is heralded by the appearance of red to esh-colored papules with scale that rapidly extend in a band-like pattern. Nail involvement has been reported but is rare [10].
In most individuals lichen striatus is asymptomatic and of cosmetic concern only; however, some experience intense pruritus. The eruption spontaneously involutes within 1 to 3years. Potent topical steroids and tacrolimus may relieve the pruritus and hasten resolution (Fig.5.8).

Contact, Irritant, Atopic, andStasis
https://t.me/medicina_free
Dermatitis oftheLower Extremity
“Dermatitis” often serves as a catchall phrase for “a rash.” Associated ndings usually include itching, redness, and, on biopsy, an inammatory cell inltrate [1]. Depending on external cause or underlying disease, dermatitis may be either localized or diffuse in nature. History and examination play a huge role in determining etiology and treatment plan. Four of the most common causes of dermatitis are contact, irritant, atopic, and stasis dermatitis.
6.1 Contact andIrritant Dermatitis
6
Contact dermatitis is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction caused by an allergy to an external substance that contacts the skin [2]. This allergic disorder needs to be differentiated from an irritant dermatitis in which the inciting agent causes physical damage to the epidermis. For example, rubbing an abrasive cleanser against the skin will induce an irritant dermatitis.
Common causes of contact dermatitis include poison ivy, nickel, fragrances, and topical antibiotics. Acute reactions manifest erythema and itch. When severe, the reaction trig­gers vesicles and bullae. The cause is often apparent based on history and clinical appearance although at times patch testing is required to pinpoint the inciting chemicals.
Skin rashes often encountered by podiatrists include shoe dermatitis and adhesive reactions [3]. Shoe dermatitis may result from mechanical irritation and/or a hypersensitivity reaction. Potential allergens include rubber derivatives, leather, dyes, and metals. Moisture aids in leaching chemi­cals and the combination of heat, pressure, and friction can result in a concomitant irritant reaction. Common involved sites are the dorsum of the great toes and sides of the feet. Reactions induced by bandages are most likely to be irritant in nature as opposed to allergic although both may coexist when the dressing occludes a topical antibiotic [4].
Fig. 6.1 Irritant dermatitis secondary to chafng
Treatment of an irritant reaction entails protecting the skin from further trauma. Management of allergic reactions requires avoidance of the sensitizing agent. Severe allergic dermatitis merits therapy with topical, and at times, systemic corticosteroids (Figs.6.1, 6.2, and 6.3).

6.2 Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, commonly referred to as eczema, is an inammatory condition that aficts a high percentage of children and often persists into adulthood [5]. The disorder is the product of immune dysregulation in conjunction with an impaired skin barrier functionality [6]. Abnormal laggrin proteins and defective ceramide production play a substan­tial role as does the release of pro-inammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and IL-31. Hallmarks of the disease include pruritus, xerosis, and erythema. More severe cases may manifest thickened skin (lichenication), oozing, crusting, and excoriations. In children, atopic derma­titis may be widespread with the legs frequently involved [7]. With increasing age eczema tends to be more localized com-

monly involving the popliteal exures, lower legs, and feet. Coin-like patches are referred to as nummular eczema.
The intensity of pruritus correlates with severity of the disease [8]. Scratching results in mechanical damage to the skin triggering an inammatory response that heightens itch­ing and leads to new lesions. Eczema has been referred to as the “itch that rashes,” this is the consequence of a self­perpetuating “itch-scratch” cycle [9]. Itch is aggravated by extremes of temperature, wool clothing, and stress.
Management of atopic dermatitis is accomplished by improving barrier function and reducing inammation. Adequate moisturization helps to maintain skin integrity and prevent are of disease. Topical corticosteroids are consid­ered rst line treatment for atopic dermatitis [10]. Additional prescription topical agents include calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and pimecrolimus), crisaborole, a phosphodies­terase inhibitor, and ruxolitinib, a JAK inhibitor. Some cases improve with sunlight or ultraviolet light therapy. Refractory disease may require systemic therapy with immunosuppres­sants such as glucocorticosteroids and cyclosporine. The tar­geted biologic dupilumab (an IL-4 and IL-13 inhibitor) provides a revolutionary approach to the management of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis as does the recently approved oral JAK inhibitors abrocitinib and upadacitinib (Figs.6.4, 6.5, and 6.6).
6.3 Stasis Dermatitis
Stasis dermatitis affects the lower legs and is a consequence of venous hypertension and insufciency resulting from ret­rograde blood ow secondary to incompetent or damaged valves [11]. Prevalence increases with advancing age and

discolorations. Chronic cases are frequently accompanied by supercial ulcerations and at times by lipodermatoscle­rosis [12].
Cellulitis and allergic contact dermatitis may coexist with stasis dermatitis or contribute to misdiagnosis [13]. Leg ele­vation and compression are mainstays of therapy. Topical steroids are frequently used to manage pruritus and erythema (Figs.6.7 and 6.8).
