ACNE
ROSACEA
GUIDELINES
DEFINITION
A.
Acne rosacea is a multifactorial vascular skin disorder
characterized by chronic inammatory processes in which ushing and dilation of the blood vessels occur primarily on the face (Figure 4.1). It is manifested in four stages of patho­logic events.
FIGURE
4.1 Acne rosacea.

Reproduced from Lyons, F., & Ousley, L. (2015). Dermatology for the advanced practice nurse. Springer Publishing Company, Figure III.47.
INCIDENCE
A.
Acne rosacea affects approximately 13 million people in
the United States. It occurs in all ethnic backgrounds but is frequently observed in people with fair pigmented skin. Prevalence ranges from 1% to 10% among fair-skinned peo­ple. Females over the age of 30 also tend to have a higher inci­dence of rosacea. Rosacea can occur in adolescence; however, it is rarely seen in children.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Rosacea is a functional vascular anomaly with a ten-
dency toward recurrent dilation and ushing of the face. Inammatory mediator release to cutaneous microorganisms, extravasation of inammatory cells of the immune system, exposure to ultraviolet light, and heightened activity of the vascular system are the factors believed to cause the symp­toms of rosacea. Ocular involvement may also include the eyelid and conjunctiva.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Tendency to ush frequently.
B.
Exposure to heat, cold, or sunlight.
FACTORS
C.
Consumption of hot or spicy foods and alcoholic beverages.
D.
Some topical medications, astringents, or toners.
E.
Psychological stress.
F.
Menopause hot ashes.
COMMON
A.
COMPLAINTS
Papules, pustules, and nodules. Hallmarks for diagnosis
are the small papules and papulopustular. Many presenting erythematous papules have a tiny pustule at the crest. No comedones are present.
B.
Periodic reddening or ushing of face, primarily the nose
and medial cheeks.
C.
Increase in skin temperature of face.
D.
Face ushing in response to heat stimuli (hot liquids) in
the mouth.
OTHER
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A.
Periorbital erythema.
B.
Telangiectasia, paranasally and on cheeks.
C.
Rhinophyma.
D.
Blepharoconjunctivitis with erythematous eyelid margins.
E.
Conjunctivitis: diffuse hyperemic type or nodular.
F.
Keratitis: lower portion of cornea, associated with pain,
photophobia, and foreign-body sensation.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Ask the client to describe the location and the onset. Was
DATA
the onset sudden or gradual? How have the symptoms con­tinued to develop?
B.
Assess if the skin is itchy or painful.
C.
Assess for any associated discharge (blood or pus).
D.
Complete a drug history. Has the client recently taken any
antibiotics or other medications?
E.
Determine whether the client has used any topical medica-
tions, astringents, toners, or new skin-care products.
F.
Rule out any possible exposure to industrial or domestic
toxins, insect bites, and possible contact with venereal disease or HIV.
G.
Ask the client about close contact with others with skin
disorders.
H.
Identify whether exposure to heat, cold, or sunlight pro-
vokes the symptoms.
I.
Ask whether eating or drinking hot or spicy foods or con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages provokes the symptoms.
PHYSICAL
A.
Check temperature, pulse, and blood pressure.
B.
Inspect:
EXAMINATION
1.
Skin, focusing on face and scalp.
2.
Nose and paranasal structures.

ACNE
VULGARIS
DEFINITION
A.
Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the sebaceous glands charac-
terized by numerous hair follicles on the face, back, and chest (Figure 4.2). The sebaceous glands become inamed and form papules, pustules, cysts, open or closed comedones, and/or nodules on an erythema base. In severe cases, scarring can result.

StatPearls Publishing. (2019). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
gov/books/NBK459173/.
INCIDENCE
A.
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disorder in the
United States, affecting 40 to 50 million persons of all ages and races. Nearly 80% to 90% of all adults experience acne during their lifetime. Acne vulgaris, commonly seen in adolescence, may even extend into the third or fourth decade of life.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Sebum is overproduced and collected in the sebaceous
gland. Sebum and keratinized cells are collected in the hair follicle. With the presence of Propionibacterium acnes, the duct becomes clogged, and lesions (noninammatory and/or inammatory) evolve.

PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Document location and severity of lesions. Assess
quality of improvement at each ofce visit.
2.
The primary goal of treatment is prevention of scar-
ring. Good control of lesions during puberty and early adulthood is required for best results. Anticipate ups and downs during the normal course of treatment.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Acne Vulgaris.”
1.
Instruct the client on proper cleansing routine. The cli-
ent should wash affected areas with a mild soap (Purpose, Cetaphil) twice a day and apply medications as directed.
2.
Warn the client that washing the face more than two
to three times a day can decrease oil production and cause drying.
3.
Discuss current stressors in the client’s life and discuss
treatment options.
4.
Recommend an exercise routine 3 to 5 days a week.
5.
Recommend oil-free sunscreens.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy: It may take 1 to 3 months before
results are visible when using medications.
1.
Mild: Treatment of choice is topical. Use one of the
following:
a.
Benzoyl peroxide, 2.5%, 5%, or 10%: Start with 2.5%
at bedtime, may graduate to 5% or 10% BID if needed and as tolerated.
b.
T-Stat: Apply to dried areas BID. Avoid the eyes,
nose, and mouth creases.
c.
Topical tretinoin 0.1% (Retin-A Micro): Use at
bedtime.
i.
With Retin-A use, the client may see rapid turn-
over of keratin plugs.
ii.
Instruct the client to avoid abrasive soaps.
iii.
Warn the client regarding photosensitivity.
iv.
Warn the client regarding increased dryness.
Moisturizers such as CeraVe or Cetaphil may be applied, if needed.
d.
Desquam-E: Use at bedtime. Wash face with soap
and then apply Desquam-E.
2.
Moderate: Use one of the aforementioned topical med-
ications in addition to one of the following oral medica­tions for 3 to 4 months.
a.
Use tetracycline 500 mg BID for 3 to 6 weeks, for
adolescents older than 14 years. As condition improves, begin tapering medication to 250mg BID for 6 weeks, then to daily or to every other day.
i.
Instruct the client to take tetracycline on an
empty stomach and to avoid dairy products, antac­ids, and iron.
ii.
Warn the client about photosensitivity. This
medication may be used as a maintenance dose at 250mg daily or every other day in clients who break out after discontinuing antibiotic therapy. No drug resistance is seen with tetracycline.
b.
Use erythromycin 250mg QID after meals or topical
erythromycin 2%, solution or gel, BID, or clindamycin (Cleocin T) solution, pads, or gel, BID. Erythromycin resistance has been seen.

c.
Use minocycline 100mg BID. When this is effective,
taper to 50mg BID.
d.
Have the client drink plenty of uids.
e.
Central nervous system side effects (headaches)
have been seen.
f.
Use Bactrim single strength BID if the aforementioned
regimens do not work well. Bactrim works well if others fail because it is effective against gram-negative folliculitis.
g.
Doxycycline 100 mg BID. Reevaluate every 4 to 6
months.
h.
Oral contraceptives with higher doses of estrogen have
also been effective in girls. There are three oral contra­ceptives approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used for acne:
i.
Estradiol 20/30/35 mcg/norethindrone 1 mg
(Estrostep).
ii.
Ethinyl estradiol 35 mcg/norgestimate
180/215/2,501 mcg (Ortho Tri-Cyclen).
iii.
Ethinyl estradiol 20 mcg/drospirenone 3 mg
(Yaz).
i.
Spironolactone may be used in females who fail topical
and oral antibiotics and contraceptives. Use spironolactone 50 to 100mg/d, split into two divided doses. Medical his­tory should be evaluated for comorbidities such as heart dis­ease, renal disease, and other medications/risks of causing hyperkalemia since spironolactone is a potassium-sparing drug. Levels may be checked prior to starting medication and periodically while on the medication.
3.
Severe: Medications such as isotretinoin should be pre-
scribed by the dermatologist.
4.
Underlying disorders: Females with hyperandrogen-
ism should be evaluated and treated for underlying endo­crine disorders. Mild cases can be treated with hormone therapy (oral contraceptive agents).
ii.
Begin contraception 1 month before start-
ing the medication and continue contraception 1 month after nishing the medication.
iii.
Safe antibiotics to use during pregnancy include
oral/topical erythromycin, topical clindamycin, or azelaic acid.
B.
Teens/Adults:
1.
Review risk factors prior to using oral contraceptives
for treatment of acne. Avoid use in clients who may have an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis.
2.
Contraceptives with progestin only and/or high
androgenic properties should be avoided due to worsen­ing acne in these clients.

1.
Mild: Adjust dose depending on local irritation.
2.
Moderate (oral and topical medications):
a.
Adjust dose according to irritation.
b.
Taper oral antibiotics with discretion and/or con-
tinue topical medications.
c.
Oral antibiotics may be tapered and discontinued
when inammatory lesions have resolved.
3.
Severe: Recommend referral to dermatology and
follow-up with the specialty.
B.
A minimum of 3 to 6 months should be trialed before
switching to another alternative.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Consult with a physician if treatment is unsuccessful after
10 to 12 weeks of therapy or if acne is severe.

retinoids.
a.
Teratogens include tretinoin, tetracycline, and
minocycline.
i.
When using teratogenic medications, contra-
ception must be used. Teratogenic medications may cause severe fetal malformations in utero and preg­nancy prevention is imperative to avoid this risk.
ANIMAL
BITES, MAMMALIAN
DEFINITION
A.
Bites of any mammalian animal to humans can be poten-
tially dangerous. Human bites are included.
INCIDENCE
A.
There are approximately 4.5 million animal bites in the
United States each year. Of these, 90% are dog bites and 20% of these bites become infected.
B.

United States, accounting for 10% of the total animal bites and up to 50% of these bites become infected.
C.
Human bites account for 250,000 bites annually and 10%
of these bites become infected.
D.
Children and older adults are more prone to bites.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Mechanical trauma and break in the skin and/or underly-
ing structures.
B.
Infection from transmission of bacteria:
1.
Pasteurella multocida is primarily associated with cat
bites but may also be associated with dog bites.
2.
Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and Enterobacter
species can be transmitted by dog and cat bites.

4: DERMATOLOGY GUIDELINES
2.
Rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, rats, and mice are sel-
dom infective for rabies.
3.
Properly vaccinated animals are seldom infective.
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Control bleeding.
2.
Perform wound care.
a.
Immediately wash wound copiously with soap and
water.
b.
Irrigate wound with saline using a 20-gauge or
larger catheter.
c.
Use 150 to 1,000 mL of solution.
d.
Apply direct saline stream on the entire wound
surface.
e.
Scrub entire surrounding area.
f.
Debride all wounds.
g.
Trim any jagged edges to prevent cosmetic and/or
functional complications.
h.
Cover with dry dressing.
3.
Do not suture wounds at high risk of infection.
a.
Hand bites and closed-st injuries.
b.
Bites older than 12 hours (greater than 24 hours on
the face).
c.
Deep, crush, or puncture wounds.
d.
Bites with extensive injury of the surface or underly-
ing structures.
4.
Implement rabies control measures.
a.
Consult with the local health department regarding
the risk of rabies in the area.
b.
The domestic animal should be identied, caught,
and conned for 10 days of observation. If the animal develops any signs of rabies, it should be destroyed and its brain tissue should be analyzed. No treatment is necessary if results are negative.
c.
The wild animal should be caught and destroyed
for brain tissue analysis. No treatment is necessary if results are negative.
d.
If the bat or wild carnivore cannot be found, rabies
prophylaxis is instituted.
B.
Client teaching:
1.
Stress the importance of keeping the site free from
infection. Instruct the client on how to keep the site free from infection, such as teaching cleaning techniques, good handwashing, and using medications as prescribed.
2.
Discuss symptoms to report to the provider if signs
of infection begin (erythema, swelling, drainage, and tenderness).
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Antibiotic prophylaxis:
a.
Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but is gen-
erally recommended for wounds involving subcuta­neous tissues and deeper structures. Prophylaxis may be prescribed 3 to 5 days and antibiotic treatment for established infection is 5 to 14 days.
i.
Prescribe amoxicillin/clavulanic acid
(Augmentin) 875mg Q12H; for children, prescribe 25 to 45mg/kg/dose in two divided doses for 3 to 7 days. Available as 200mg/5 mL and 400mg/5 mL liquid
ii.
For adults allergic to penicillin, pre-
scribe doxycycline 100 mg BID for 3 to 7 days; trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 1 tab BID, or
uoroquinolone (ciprooxacin 500–750 BID or levo­oxacin 750 mg daily) PLUS metronidazole 500 mg TID or clindamycin 300 to 450mg TID OR moxioxa­cin 400mg daily monotherapy.
iii.
For children allergic to penicillin, prescribe
clindamycin 7.5 to 10mg/kg divided every 6 to 8 hours PLUS trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole 4 to 6 mg/kg (trimethoprim component) divided Q12H for 3 to 7 days.
2.
Tetanus prophylaxis:
a.
Tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine should be given
for any wound (minor or major) if vaccination status is unknown or if less than three doses have been received in the past. For major wounds, human tetanus immune globulin should also be given to anyone of unknown status or has received less than three doses in the past. Tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine should be given to anyone who has received more than three doses in the past if the last dose is more than 10 years for clean/ minor wounds and more than 5 years for all other major wounds. Human tetanus immuno globulin is not recommended to anyone who has received more than three previous doses of tetanus toxoid.
3.
Rabies prophylaxis:
a.
Active immunization: Human diploid cell vaccine
(HDCV), 1 mL, is given intramuscularly (IM) on the rst day of treatment, and repeat doses are adminis­tered on days 3, 7, 14, and 28.
b.
Passive immunization: Rabies immunoglobulin
(RIG; human) should be used simultaneously with the rst dose of HDCV; the recommended dose of RIG is 20 IU/kg. Approximately one-half of RIG is inltrated into the wound and the remainder is given IM.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
Evaluate wound and change dressing in 24 to 48 hours.
B.
Reevaluate as indicated. If the client is on immunoprophy-
laxis and has no signs of infection, see them in 1 week.

SKIN LESIONS
DEFINITION
A.
A benign skin lesion is a cutaneous growth with no harm-
ful effects to the body. Benign lesions must be distinguished from the following:
1.
Basal cell carcinoma: nodular tumor with pearly sur-
face, telangiectasia on surface, and depressed center or rolled edge.
2.
Squamous cell carcinoma: irregular papule, with scaly,
friable, bleeding surface.
3.
Malignant melanoma: asymmetric papule, with irregu-
lar border, of two or more colors, and varied sizes.
INCIDENCE
A.
Benign lesions are common to all races and are seen pri-
marily in the adult and elderly populations.
BENIGN SKIN LESIONS
B.
Dermatosis papulosa nigra: hyperpigmented mole located
77
on face or neck; a pedunculated papule that is symmetric, 1 to 3 mm in diameter.
C.
Cherry angioma: vascular papule, red to purple, located
on trunk in adults; begins in early adulthood; 1- to 3-mm diameter papules that do not blanch.
D.
Solar lentigines (liver spots): tan maculae on sun-exposed
areas in elders, especially on face and hands; with irregular border and varied sizes.
E.
Sebaceous hyperplasia: enlarged sebaceous glands that
appear as yellow papules on sun-exposed areas, especially on the face in elders; papules have central umbilication and with varied sizes.
F.
Seborrheic keratosis: waxy papules with a stuck-on
appearance seen in adults; appear symmetric, 0.2 to 3.0 cm in size, with a well-demarcated border and a variety of colors (tan, black, and brown).
