I’m 24 years old, can I get hand, foot, and mouth disease? The symptoms are exactly the same as my nephew who was sick recently. (Figs.55.1 and 55.2).
24-year-old Ms. K came for treatment saying she had a
fever and blisters and rashes on her mouth, hands, and feet. “I’m 24 years old, can I get hand, foot, and mouth disease? The symptoms are exactly the same as my nephew who had hand, foot, and mouth disease recently!” she said. Since adults can also get hand, foot, and mouth disease, I took a close look at Mr. K’s hands and feet using a magnifying glass (Figs.55.3 and 55.4).
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly conta-
gious viral disease that appears as small macules, papules, or vesicles mainly on the palms and soles, sides of hands and feet, and inside the mouth. In Korea, as of 2022, it is desig­nated as a Class 4 infectious disease (sample surveillance infectious disease) that requires sample surveillance activi­ties to investigate the prevalence in addition to Class 1–3 infectious diseases. It was rst described in 1958 and named “hand-foot-and-mouth disease” in 1960. HFMD mainly occurs in children under 10years old in summer and autumn,
but it can also occur in adults. Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus 71 are the most common causes, but Coxsackievirus A5, A6, A7, A9, A10, B1, B2, B3, B5, and Echovirus and other enteroviruses can also cause the disease. It is transmitted through fecal–oral route, respiratory drop­lets, saliva, or direct contact, and it is known that transmis­sion can occur between children, from children to adults, and recently, transmission between adults has been reported. Clinically, after an incubation period of about 3–6 days, symptoms such as low fever, discomfort, abdominal pain, and upper respiratory symptoms appear, most of the painful oral lesions appear on the tongue, buccal mucosa, hard pal­ate, and oropharynx. The lesions change from a small pink macules or papules to a 4–8mm vesicular lesions accompa­nied by erythema, soon becoming the erosions. Skin lesions occur soon after the mouth lesions appear, mainly on the palms, soles, and sides of the hands and feet, but can also occasionally appear on the legs, buttocks, genitals, and face. Vesicles develop from the red macules and appear as vesicles surrounded by erythema, with improvement occurring after 7–10 days. The vesicles are 1–5 mm in size, slightly oval

rather than round, supercial, thin, lled with clear uid, and surrounded by a 1 mm wide erythema zone. Usually, the vesicles are not painful or itchy. It usually has a benign course and heals naturally, but in some cases, it can show a widespread vesicular appearance similar to eczema herpeti­cum. In some cases, fever and rash may reappear 1–3days after the symptoms disappear, so observation is necessary. Also, rarely, complications such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, meningoencephalitis can occur, and neurological complications with paralytic symp­toms similar to those of polio, myocarditis, and pulmonary edema can occur. Severe complications are mainly caused by Enterovirus 71 rather than Coxsackievirus A16. Recently, there have been many reports of onychomadesis occurring after suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease. Onychomadesis is a disease in which the proximal nail plate separates from the nail bed and nail matrix due to temporary arrest in the activity of the nail matrix. Especially, onycho­madesis, which occurs after the onset of hand, foot, and mouth disease, has been known to occur in many countries, including Korea, since it was rst reported in 2000. However, the changes in the nails are temporary, and normal growth
spontaneously returns within 1–4 months without special treatment.
Although it is easy to diagnose due to the distribution of clinically characteristic lesions, the diagnosis can be con­rmed by proving the causative virus in lesions near the skin rash area. Atypical forms of hand–foot–mouth disease that do not accompany oral lesions are rarely reported, and in such cases, diagnosis can be made through virus culture or anti­body tests in addition to clinical symptoms. It should be dif­ferentiated from aphthous stomatitis, herpangina, herpes simplex, chickenpox, erythema multiforme, etc. (Figs.55.555.7, 55.855.10, 55.1155.14, 55.15 and 55.16).
The lesions of hand–foot–mouth disease heal naturally, so symptomatic treatment is sufcient. Treatment for symp­toms is necessary in cases where discomfort is caused by oral lesions. The skin lesions disappear within a few days, and there is no need to prescribe ointment. For prevention, avoid contact with children who have hand, foot, and mouth disease. During the epidemic season, avoid places with many children and instruct to wash hands thoroughly and brush teeth after going out. When neurological symptoms appear in children with hand, foot, and mouth disease, the possibility of infection by enterovirus 71 must be considered. Especially,

when hand, foot, and mouth disease is prevalent, careful observation must be made to ensure that encephalitis, menin­gitis, and polyneuritis occur along with paralysis symptoms among the clinical manifestations. It is necessary to reassure parents that normal spontaneous growth of nails will return

within 1–4months without special treatment for onychoma­desis that occurs after suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease. I told Ms. K that adults can also get hand–foot– mouth disease, informed her of precautions, and prescribed for simple symptoms.
Steroid-Induced Acne, Steroid Acne

Suddenly, something like acne spread all over my chest and back, is it because of the orthopedic medicine I’ve been taking recently? (Fig.56.1).
A man in his 30s, Mr. M, recently took medication con­taining steroids for a few weeks due to an orthopedic disease and suddenly developed acne-like rashes on his chest and back. He came in for a consultation, saying, “I hardly ever had acne even when I was in school, but I’m really worried because these suddenly appeared on my body!” Upon closer examination, there were hardly any comedones typically seen in acne, but numerous small, red papules and pustules of similar shape were primarily found (Fig.56.2).
There are quite a variety of drugs that can cause acne­iform eruptions, but acneiform eruptions caused by steroids are the most common, and this has been recognized as a dis­tinct disease entity called steroid-induced acne or steroid acne. Steroid acne is a type of folliculitis that occurs after topical or systemic administration of steroids, and it shows different clinical and histological ndings from acne vul-
garis. It can occur at any age, but it is common in adoles­cence and young and middle adulthood and rare in children and the elderly. The time for acneiform eruptions to occur after steroid administration is roughly within 2 weeks or within 2–4 weeks. Lesions are primarily observed as ery­thematous papules and pustules of uniform shape, and com­edones, nodules, and cysts are rare. Itching and post-inammatory hyperpigmentation are common, but scars are not common, which clearly distinguishes it from true acne both clinically and histopathologically. The com­mon sites are the chest, back, neck, shoulders, and upper arms, and sometimes it appears on the face and scalp and rarely on the arms and buttocks.
In a 1973 study testing the induction of acne by occlusive topical steroid therapy in more than 350 adult male volun­teers, red papules of the same shape appeared within 7–14 days, and comedones formed within a few weeks. Factors that promote the occurrence of steroid acne after topical steroid application include (1) high concentration, (2)

persistent occlusion, (3) young age over 30, (4) whites more than blacks, (5) history or signs of acne, and (6) application to the face or upper body. Acneiform eruptions caused by systemic administration of steroids appear suddenly. On the body, shoulders, and upper arms rather than the face, ery­thematous 1–3 mm hemispherical papules and pustules appear in one form and show symmetrical distribution. Comedones do not appear initially but can appear later as secondary lesions of the pustules. Lesions caused by topical application are less inammatory than those caused by sys­temic administration.
Histologically, it is a local folliculitis with neutrophil deposition in the follicles and surrounding area. Hyperkeratosis is not a characteristic nding and differs from typical acne lesions as a result of the destruction of fol­licular epithelium. These inammatory lesions are not located deep and do not grow as large as nodules (Figs.56.3,
56.4, 56.5, 56.6, 56.7, 56.8 and 56.9).

For the treatment of steroid acne, the use of the causative steroid must be stopped, and treatments similar to those for acne vulgaris, such as topical or systemic retinoids, tetracy­cline antibiotics, etc., have been used. However, in cases where the treatment results are not satisfactory, it has been reported that antifungal treatments such as itraconazole are effective in treating typical Malassezia folliculitis and acne­iform eruptions induced by steroids, based on the fact that steroids are one of the important triggers of Malassezia fol-
liculitis (Pityrosporum folliculitis), clinical similarities, direct smear examination ndings, and treatment responses. Mr. M said, “Fortunately, I don’t have to take orthopedic medicine anymore, so I just need to get treatment, right?” However, I explained in advance that even if the steroid is stopped and treatment is started, the inammation in the fol­licle does not improve quickly and it takes some time to disappear.
Cement Dermatitis
https://t.me/med1917

While I was working, my pants got wet with cement and came in contact with it for a while. It was burning and very painful due to cement poisoning (Fig.57.1).
A 40-year-old man, K, came for treatment after his leg had been in contact with cement for a while during cement work, and countless small wounds were formed on his skin, and he had severe itching, burning, and pain. “Is this the cement poisoning? I didn’t know it would be this severe,” he said (Fig.57.2).
Cement refers to an inorganic bonding hardener whose main ingredient is lime, etc., which hardens when kneaded with water or a solution and can act as a binder or adhesive. Portland cement, which is most commonly used in construc­tion and civil engineering sites, consists of calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, magnesium oxide, sulfur dioxide, hexavalent chromium, and other alkali oxides. In the workplace, workers can easily be exposed to cement, which can lead to various occupational skin dis­eases. These include irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis, also called cement dermatitis, as well as burns and skin ulcers.
When cement and water are mixed, the most abundant calcium oxide turns into calcium hydroxide, which has a strong alkalinity of pH12–13. This transformation is accom­panied by an exothermic reaction, so contact with wet cement can cause chemical burns and thermal damage, leading to full-thickness burns, skin ulcers, and irritant contact derma­titis. If it comes into contact with the conjunctiva, it can cause irritation, excessive tear secretion, ulcers, and even perforation of the eyeball. It can also cause inammation, ulcers, and perforation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, leaving serious sequelae if exposed in large amounts occupationally. Chromium, although only about
0.002% of the cement’s composition, is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis, which can also be caused by nickel or cobalt in some cases. Allergic contact dermatitis caused by chromium has a very poor prognosis, and it often does not improve even with a change of occupation, so it is important to prevent initial exposure. Chromium is a silver­white heavy metal that exists in various forms depending on its valence, mainly in the stable forms of trivalent chrome and hexavalent chrome. Trivalent chrome is generally found

in nature, while hexavalent chrome is mostly combined with oxygen due to its insolubility and acts as a powerful oxidiz­ing pigment, so it is widely used in industries such as plating, corrosion inhibitors, pigment manufacturing, leather pro­cessing, cement, etc. (Figs.57.3 and 57.4).
Such chromium is highly corrosive and requires special attention and appropriate protective equipment. If it comes into direct contact with the skin, it can cause burns, ulcers, and contact dermatitis. Also, if exposure to chromium con­tinues for a long period, it can cause chrome ulcers on the skin, allergic asthma in the respiratory system, perforation of the nasal septum, and there are even reports that it can cause cancer in the lungs, kidneys, and liver. Allergic contact der­matitis caused by chromium is more common in men and usually occurs occupationally. Among many occupations, cement workers are the most likely to have problems with chromium. Like nickel, chromium contact dermatitis also has a poor prognosis. Chromium dermatitis can persist long after a worker changes jobs and is no longer exposed. Mr. K was advised to avoid direct contact with cement in the future, and he needs to receive burn dressings equivalent to burn treatment along with drug treatment for 2weeks (Figs.57.5,
57.6, and 57.757.10).
