HERPES
ZOSTER OR SHINGLES
DEFINITION
Herpes
zoster is a viral infection manifested by painful, vesic­ular lesions on the skin, limited to one side of the body, follow­ing one body dermatome (Figure 4.12).
FIGURE

zoster.
Source: Reproduced from Kifer, Z. A. (2012). Fast facts for wound care
nursing: Practical wound management in a nutshell (p. 259). Springer
Publishing Company.
INCIDENCE
A.
Infection may occur at any age; however, it is more com-
mon in older adults and the elderly. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that approxi­mately 30% of persons in the United States will experience herpes zoster in their lifetime.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
After the primary episode of chickenpox (varicella zoster),
the virus remains dormant in the body. Herpes zoster occurs when the varicella virus has been stimulated and reactivated in the dorsal root ganglia, producing the clinical manifesta­tions of herpes zoster as discussed in the following. Duration of infection usually lasts 14 to 21 days, but may be longer in the elderly or debilitated clients.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Refer the client to a physician if treatment is unsuccessful
or further complications arise.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pediatrics:
1.
B.
Adolescents/Adults:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Initial outbreak commonly occurs in childhood.
HSV-1 can also be transmitted sexually through oral
sex. Educate teens/adults regarding transmitting the virus during sexual contact. Transmission is possible if having sexual relations with partners; avoid contact when lesions are present.
2.
Advise using a dental dam during oral sex to prevent
transmission.
3.
Avoid sharing toothbrush and eating utensils.

A.
Prodrome: itching, burning, tingling, or painful sensation
FACTORS
COMPLAINTS
at lesion sites.
B.
Active: malaise, fever, headache, or pruritic rash on the
skin.
OTHER
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A.
Lesions: Clusters of vesicles on an erythemic base that
burst and produce crusted lesions. These are most commonly found on the chest and back area, but may also occur on the head and neck area or extremities. Distribution of lesions typi­cally appears along a single dermatome.
B.
Motor weakness (may be seen in approximately 5% of
clients).

TESTS
DIAGNOSES
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Comfort measures. Instruct the client to apply wet
dressings (Burow solution) on the site for 30 to 60 minutes at least four times a day. Calamine lotions may be used as needed; oatmeal (Aveeno) bath may be used for comfort; acetaminophen (Tylenol) is taken as needed for malaise, temperature, and comfort.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Herpes Zoster or Shingles.”
1.
Tell the client that the rash usually lasts approximately
2 to 3 weeks.
2.
Instruct the client to monitor for signs/symptoms of
postherpetic neuralgia.
3.
Instruct the client to call if symptoms worsen or do not
improve, or if signs of bacterial infection occur.
4.
Emphasize to the client that the virus is easily transmit-
ted to vulnerable persons.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Antiviral medications should be initiated within 24 to
48 hours after outbreak.
a.
Acyclovir (Zovirax) 800 mg ve times daily for
7 days.
b.
Famciclovir (Famvir) 500 to 750 mg PO TID for 7
days.
c.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex) 1,000 mg PO TID for 7 days.
2.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen may be usedas
needed for pain or discomfort.
3.
Narcotics may be used for severe pain as needed.
4.
Postherpetic neuralgia may be treated with the
following:
a.
Narcotics or other pain-relieving medications.
b.
Long-term medications may be needed for pain
control:
i.
Gabapentin 300 to 600mg TID, titrate dose up
for optimal relief.
ii.
Amitriptyline 10 mg every bedtime or other
low-dose tricyclic antidepressants; may titrate up to 50mg every bedtime if needed to achieve relief.
5.
If secondary bacterial infection of the skin occurs,
apply silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) topically to the site until resolved.
6.
Use of steroids is controversial. Corticosteroids may
be used with caution. These may increase the risk of dissemination.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
Follow up as needed for complications.
B.
Monitor the client for complications: postherpetic neural-
gia, Guillain–Barré syndrome, motor weakness, secondary infection, meningoencephalitis, ophthalmic and facial palsy, corneal ulceration, and so forth.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when a shingles outbreak
affects the facial nerve near one of the ears. This can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear. Consult a physician.
B.
Hutchinson sign refers to vesicles in the periorbital region.
These clients require an ophthalmologist referral.
C.
Consult with a physician if secondary infection occurs or if
secondary complications arise.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pregnancy:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Acyclovir falls under category C drug classication.
The safety and efcacy of the use of antiviral medications during pregnancy need to be considered.
2.
Pregnant individuals who are not immune to the virus
need to take precautions to prevent contact with the virus while pregnant. Complications during pregnancy may include congenital varicella for the fetus and varicella pneumonia for the mother.
B.
Pediatrics:
1.
Shingles is rarely seen in children.
C.
Elderly:
1.
Postherpetic neuralgia occurs in approximately 15% of
clients. It is commonly seen in elderly clients.
2.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends the shingles vaccine for all clients 50 years of age and older, irrespective of whether they have had the chickenpox or shingles infection in the past. There are two types available: The CDC recommends the recombinant vaccine (Shingrix) over the live vaccine unless contraindi­cated. For those who have had a recent shingles outbreak, it is recommended that resolution of the rash be complete before administering the vaccination.

IMPETIGO
DEFINITION
A.
Impetigo is a bacterial infection of the skin, most com-
monly caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyo­genes, or both (Figure 4.13).
INCIDENCE
A.
It occurs equally in males and females and is most com-
monly seen in children, especially in those 2 to 5 years of age.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
An alteration in the skin integrity allows bacterial invasion
into the epidermis, causing an infection. Small, moist vesicles ranging from red macules to honey- colored crusts or erosions occur singly or grouped together. The most common organ­isms are S. aureus and group A beta-hemolytic S. pyogenes.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Poor hygiene.
B.
Warm climate.
C.
Break in the skin.
COMMON
A.
Tender sores around the mouth and nose area in which the
lesions continue to spread and worsen, despite over-the-counter medication treatment.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Elicit onset, progression, duration, and location of the
lesions.
B.
Ask the client whether they have had contact with any
other child or person with similar lesions.

BITES AND STINGS
DEFINITION
A.
Bites and/or stings on the skin come from commonly
encountered insects: bees, hornets, wasps, mosquitoes, chig-
gers, ticks, eas, re ants, and bedbugs.
INCIDENCE
A.
Bites are seen in all age groupsand are more common in
summer months.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Some bites elicit local tissue inammation and destruction
due to the proteins and enzymes in the poison or venom of the insect.
B.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions
(immediate or delayed) may occur.
C.
Serum-sickness reaction may appear 10 to 14 days after a
sting with venom. Toxic reactions can also occur from mul­tiple stings, yielding large inoculation of poison or venom.
D.
With tick bites, exposure to Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis disease may occur.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Exposure to areas of heavy insect infestations.
B.
Warm-weather months.
C.
Outdoor exposure with bare feet and bright clothes.
D.
Use of perfumes and/or colognes.
E.
Previous sensitization.

area of redness and swelling may occur.
3.
Mosquitoes and chiggers: Local redness, swelling, and
itching occur. Delayed reaction can include edema and burning sensation.
4.
Fleas: Local redness, swelling, and itching occur.
Usually, papules are noted in a zigzag pattern, especially on legs and waist. Note hemorrhagic puncta surrounded by erythematous and urticarial patches. Flea bites can transmit diseases.
5.
Body lice: Small noninammatory red spots, intensely
pruritic, are found on waist, shoulders, axilla, and neck. Note linear scratch marks. Note secondary infection.
6.
Scabies: Pruritus is the dominant symptom. Note
inammation and burrows on skin with papules and vesi­cles, especially in the webs of the hands and feet.
7.
Fire ants: Papules appear and turn to pustules
within 6 to 24 hours after bite. Watch for localized necrosis with scarring. Urticaria and angioedema can occur (Figure 4.14).

LICE (PEDICULOSIS)
C.
P. pubis infestation is more common in adults.
D.
Lice affect all demographics; all social, racial, and eco-
93
nomic groups get lice.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Head and body lice are transmitted by direct contact from
person to person, that is, through sharing hats, combs, brushes, and so forth. The parasite hatches from an egg or nit. Once hatched, the lice live on humans by sucking blood through the skin. The average adult louse lives 9 to 10 days. The nits appear as small white eggs on the hair shaft. Nits are very dif­cult to remove and survive up to 3 weeks after removal from the host. Body lice lay nits in the seams of clothing.
B.
Pubic lice are found at the base of the hair shaft, where
they lay nits. Pubic lice are transmitted through sexual contact.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Head and body lice: exposure to crowded public areas,
FACTORS
such as schools; inability to clean and launder clothing, bed linens, and so forth.
B.
Pubic lice: sexual contact with infected people.
C.
Poor hygiene.
COMMON
A.
COMPLAINTS
Head lice: severe itching and scratching of the head, neck
area, and commonly behind the ears.
B.
Body lice: severe itching on the body, which may lead to
secondary infections of the skin.
C.
Pubic lice: severe itching of genital area.
OTHER
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A.
Excoriated skin from intense scratching.
B.
Visible lice or nits in hair, body, or clothing.
C.
Papules with an erythemic base may develop on the geni-
tal area, axilla, chest, beard, or eyelashes.
D.
P. pubis or nits or lice are found on eyelashes of children.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Inquire as to exposure to anyone known to have lice.
B.
Identify whether the client attends a crowded environ-
DATA
ment, such as school, day care, and so forth.
C.
Ask if lice and nits have been seen by the client or guardian.
D.
Determine onset, duration, and course of symptoms. Ask:
When were lice or nits rst discovered?
E.
Assess whether the client has been symptomatic (itching,
scratching).
F.
Inquire about social habits of cleaning, laundry, and so
forth.
LICE
(PEDICULOSIS)
DEFINITION
A.

Head (Pediculosis capitis).
2.
Pubic area (Pthirus pubis).
3.
Body (Pediculosis corporis).
INCIDENCE
A.
Pediculosis capitis is most common in children. It is esti-
mated that head lice infestations occur in the school systems anywhere from 10% to 40% of the time.
B.
They are more commonly found in girls than boys.
PHYSICAL
A.
Check temperature to rule out any secondary infection.
B.
Inspect:
EXAMINATION
1.
Inspect hair, body, pubic area, and clothing seams for
nits or lice.
2.
Note excoriation of skin.
3.
Examine eyelashes of children.

LICHEN
PLANUS
DEFINITION
A.
Lichen planus is a relatively common acute or chronic
inammatory dermatosis. It affects skin and mucous mem­branes with characteristic at-topped, shiny, violaceous (pur­plish color), pruritic papules with lacy lines on the skin and milky-white papules in the mouth.
INCIDENCE
A.
Lichen planus accounts for 0.1% to 1.2% of ofce visits to
dermatologists.
B.
It exhibits no racial preference.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Etiology is unknown, although it is possibly a
cell-mediated immune response. Most cases remit within 7 years. Lesions may heal with signicant postinammatory hyperpigmentation.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Severe emotional stress.
B.
Drugs may induce lichenoid plaques.
COMMON
A.
Rash with or without pruritus.
B.
Primary lesions: small, at-topped papules that are polyg-

OTHER
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A.
Distribution: volar aspect of wrists, ankles, mouth, genita-
lia, and lumbar region.
B.
Wickham striae (white, lacelike pattern on surface).
C.
Scalp: atrophic skin with alopecia.
D.
Nails: destruction of the nail fold and bed, especially in the
large toe.
E.
Lesions of glans penis.
F.
Erosive lesions of labia and vulva.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pregnancy:
1.
B.
Pediatrics:
1.
2.
CONSIDERATIONS
Lindane (Kwell) is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Head lice are commonly seen in school-age children. Lindane (Kwell) should not be used in infants. The
American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend lin­dane as a rst-line treatment for head lice in children second­ary to the toxic effects on the brain and central nervous system.
C.
Geriatrics:
1.
For adult/elderly clients with a diagnosis of lice, con-
sider self-neglect, unsuitable living conditions, cognitive/ psychiatric impairments, and/or abuse/neglect of the elderly.
2.
Consider a home visit for evaluation of the client.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Determine whether the onset was sudden or gradual.
B.
Ask the client to describe if the skin is itchy or painful.
C.
Assess lesions for any associated discharge (blood or pus).
D.
Identify the location(s) of the problem.
E.
Complete a drug history. Ask the client if they have
DATA
recently taken any antibiotics or other drugs. Ask if they have used any topical medications, lotions, or other creams.
F.
Determine the presence of any preceding systemic symp-
toms (fever, sore throat, anorexia, or vaginal discharge).
G.
Rule out insect bites.
H.
Identify any possible exposure to industrial toxins, domes-
tic toxins, or color-lm-developing chemicals.
I.
Ask if the client has had any possible sexual contact with
persons with HIV or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

DIAGNOSES
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Discontinue any suspected drug agent.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
"Lichen Planus".
1.
Instruct the client that the disease may be chronic; most
cases resolve spontaneously.
2.
Encourage the client to avoid severe emotional stress.
3.
Encourage the client to avoid scratching and prevent
secondary infection.
4.
Reassure the client that lichen planus is not contagious.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Oral antihistamines: hydroxyzine hydrochloride 10
to 50 mg QID as needed for pruritus, or cetirizine HCl (Zyrtec) 10mg daily.
2.
Medium- to high-potency topical cortico steroids:
a.
Mouth lesions: uocinonide 0.05%, ointment or gel,
two or three times daily.
b.
Body lesions: betamethasone dipropionate
(Diprolene) 0.05%, triamcinolone (Kenalog), clobeta­sol (Temovate, Cormax) 0.05%, or other class 1 cream or ointment BID for 2 to 3 weeks and then stop use.
Caution the client about steroid atrophy.
c.
Genital lesions: desonide cream 0.05% BID initially,
although higher potency creams may be necessary; topical corticosteroids should be used on genitalia in short bursts only.
d.
Hypertrophic lesions: Intralesional injections, such
as injecting triamcinolone 5 to 10 mg/mL, 0.5 to 1 mL per 2-cm lesion, are helpful for pruritus relief. Use cautiously in clients with dark skin due to risk of hypopigmentation.
3.
Oral prednisone is rarely used, but if necessary use
with a short course only and taper.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
See the client in 1 week for evaluation of treatment.

PITYRIASIS
ROSEA
DEFINITION
A.
Pityriasis rosea is an acute, self-limiting, benign skin erup-
tion characterized by a preceding “herald patch” that is fol­lowed by widespread papulosquamous lesions (Figure 4.15).

INCIDENCE
A.
Pityriasis rosea is relatively common, with more than 75%
of cases in individuals from 10 to 35 years of age.
B.
Incidence is slightly higher in females than in males.
C.
Incidence is higher during the spring and autumn.

B.
Serology to rule out syphilis, if applicable.
C.
If unable to identify herald patch, a serologic test for syph-
ilis should be ordered because syphilis may be clinically indis­tinguishable from pityriasis rosea.
D.

DIAGNOSES
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Direct sunlight to the point of minimal erythema has-
tens the disappearance of lesions and reduces itching. Ultraviolet B light in ve consecutive daily exposures can reduce pruritus and shorten rash, particularly if adminis­tered within the rst week of eruption.
2.
It has not been proven to be contagious and is rela-
tively harmless, so isolation is not required.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Pityriasis Rosea.”
1.
Advise the client that the disease is self-limiting and
clears spontaneously in 1 to 3 months.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Generally, none required, but for itching the following
recommendations exist:
a.
Group V topical steroids and oral antihistamines as
per usual dosing.
b.
Prednisone 20mg BID for 1 to 2 weeks in rare cases
of intense itching.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
None required unless secondary infection (impetigo)
develops. Disease may recur in approximately 2% of clients.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Consult or refer the client to a physician when disease per-
sists beyond 3 months.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pregnancy:
1.
B.
Pediatrics:
1.
2.
C.
Geriatrics:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Disease has not been shown to affect fetus.
Rash more frequently affects face and distal extre mities. Impetigo may result from scratching or poor hygiene.
Disease is rarely seen in geriatric clients. Strongly
consider other differential diagnoses, particularly drug reactions.
2.
Avoid rst-generation anticholinergics due to risk of
confusion, dry mouth, constipation, and other anticholin­ergic effects or toxicity.

PRECANCEROUS
OR CANCEROUS SKIN LESIONS
DEFINITION
A.
Skin lesions are skin cell changes that occur in the body
that may be precancerous or cancerous.
INCIDENCE
A.
Actinic keratosis is the most common precancerous skin
disorder that occurs in approximately 58 million Americans, which is an estimate because it is not commonly reported and/or often occurs without diagnosis.
B.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of
skin cancer, with approximately 400,000 new cases per year in the United States (Figure 4.16). It is often seen in the sixth or seventh decade of life. It is commonly seen in Caucasians and noted to be 30% higher in males than in females. The occur­rence of BCC is greater in people living in the states that are closer to the equator than those in the Midwest, thought to be related to increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
C.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second leading type
of skin cancer and accounts for 20% of all skin cancers. It is most often seen in the middle-aged and elderly populations.
D.
Malignant melanoma is the fth leading cause of cancer in
males and females and accounts for less than 5% of all skin can­cers (Figure 4.17). The median age at diagnosis is 61 years of age.

rays or tanning beds. If not treated, these skin lesions may turn into a form of skin cancer, such as SCC.
B.
BCC: Abnormal cells of the basal layer of the epidermis
expand. The surrounding stroma supports the basal cell growth. UV rays (sunlight) are the major contributor to BCC. BCC is a slow-growing tumor that rarely metastasizes.
C.
SCC: Abnormal cells of the epidermis penetrate the base-
ment membrane of the epidermis and move into the dermis, producing SCC. This often begins as actinic keratosis that undergoes malignant change.
D.
Malignant melanoma: Abnormal cells proliferate from
the melanocyte system. Initially, the cells grow supercially and laterally into the epidermis and papillary dermis. After a period, the cells begin growing up into the reticular dermis and subcutaneous fat. Malignant tumors occur because of the inability of the damaged cells to protect themselves from long-term exposure to UV rays.

B.
BCC: tumors arising from the basal cell layer of the epi-
dermis; may be seen on face and neck; may appear as an open sore, pink growth, or nodule that is greater than 1 cm and which appears shiny, pearly in color with telangiectasia; cen­ter may cave in.
C.
SCC: skin lesions seen in sun-exposed areas of the skin,
or skin damaged by burns or chronic inammation; lower lip lesions common; rm, irregular papules with scaly, bleeding, friable surface like sandpaper; grows rapidly.
