4: DERMATOLOGY GUIDELINES
Biopsy any suspicious lesions. Excise lesion with nar-
row margins, making sure to include all margins. If biopsy results of specimen are inadequate for accurate histologic diagnosis or staging, repeat biopsy. Include all clinical his­tory information on the pathology report with the speci­men when sending to pathology.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Skin Care Assessment.”
1.
Educate the clients regarding the importance of early
identication of lesions and monthly assessment of skin. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) rec­ommends counseling adolescents and young adults less than 24 years of age regarding reducing the amount of UV radiation exposure, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. In adults older than 24 years of age, the USPSTF did not nd sufcient evidence to determine the effects of counseling these clients regarding the use of sun protection.
2.
Instruct the client on monthly skin evaluation. Teach
the “ABCD” method of exam for changes in lesions: Asymmetry, Border, Color, and Diameter. A body map may be used to mark skin changes and monitor progress. Mark the site of the lesion on the body map, including measure­ments and date found. A body map can be accessed at www. skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/early-detection/ body-map.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
None indicated.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
When a diagnosis is made, follow up according to diagno-
sis. Differentiate between benign skin lesions and malignant melanoma. Follow-up/treatment depends on the diagno­sis (nonsurgical vs. surgical removal for diagnosis). Surgical removal is recommended for recurrent and suspicious lesions.
Dermatology, 80(4), 970–978. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaad.2018.09.0 44
PSORIASIS
DEFINITION
A.
A common benign, chronic, inammatory skin disorder,
psoriasis is characterized by whitish scaly patches commonly seen on the scalp, knees, and elbows (Figure 4.18).

care nursing: Practical wound management in a nutshell (p. 252).
Springer Publishing Company.
INCIDENCE
A.
Psoriasis occurs in about 1% to 3% of the world population.
B.
Psoriasis affects 7.5 million people in the United States.
Approximately 80% of these clients have plaque psoriasis.
C.
It occurs at any age:
1.
Peak of onset seen in adolescence.
2.
Seen in young adults (16–22 years old).
3.
Occurs in adults 50 to 60 years old.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Refer all clients to a dermatologist if skin cancer is
suspected.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pediatrics:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Teach parents to use sun protection factor 30 or greater
on pediatric clients exposed to the sun.
B.
Geriatrics:
1.
The elderly are at higher risk of skin cancer due to
their decreased immune system as they age, as well as their cumulative chronic disease risk factors. Educate these clients regarding their risk factors and teach them how to assess the skin for lesions. Encourage frequent skin assessment and early diagnosis for improved outcomes.

Family history.
B.
Drugs that exacerbate the condition:
1.
Lithium.
2.
Beta-blockers.
3.
Nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
4.
Antimalarial.
5.
Sudden withdrawal of systemic or potent topical

PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
This is a chronic disorder that requires long-term treat-
ment, a high degree of client involvement, and therapy that is simple and inexpensive.
2.
Aim of treatment is control, not cure.
3.
Exposure to sunlight may be benecial. However,
symptoms worsen in a small percentage of clients with exposure to sunlight.
4.
Sequence of agents for involvement of less than 20%
body surface is as follows:
a.
Emollients (Eucerin cream or Aquaphor cream).
b.
Keratolytic agents (salicylic acid gel or ointment).
c.
Topical corticosteroids: use lowest potency to con-
trol disease.
d.
Calcipotriene ointment: vitamin D analogue (calci-
potriene ointment 0.005%).
e.
Anthralin: use as short-contact therapy 1% to 3%.
f.
Coal tar (Estar, PsoriGel): use in conjunction with
topical steroids or anthralin; may apply at bedtime or in the morning for 15 minutes and then shower off.
g.
Medicated shampoos: useful for scalp psoriasis, in
conjunction with topical steroids and other treatments.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Psoriasis.”
1.
Help the client understand the chronic nature of this
disease characterized by ares and remission. Teach stress monitoring and control. Assist with coping techniques.
2.
A trial of a gluten-free diet may be tried to help symp-
toms. See Appendix B: “Gluten-Free Diet.”
3.
Encourage the client to reach out to the National
Psoriasis Foundation for education and resources for the client and the family.
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
If the disease is not controlled with the rst agent, then
an alternative agent may be tried.
2.
Mild to moderate disease: Topical steroids are a
rst-line therapy.
3.
Use emollients to start treatment (e.g., Eucerin Plus
lotion or cream, Lubriderm Moisture Plus, Moisture).
4.
Scalp: Use coal tar shampoo (Zetar, T/Gel, Pentrax) in
place of regular shampoo two times per week.
a.
Apply lather to scalp, allow to soak for 5 minutes,
and then rinse.
b.
If plaques are very thick, use P and S Liquid (over
the counter). Massage in at night and wash out in the morning.
5.
For additional treatment as needed, apply triamcino-
lone acetonide 0.1% (Kenalog 0.1%) lotion or equivalent to scaly, stubborn areas once or twice daily until controlled.
Avoid the face.
6.
Dovonex Scalp Solution: Apply on dry scalp as
directed.
7.
Face and skin folds: Use hydrocortisone cream 1%, apply
sparingly up to 4 weeks, preferably no more than 2 weeks.

4: DERMATOLOGY GUIDELINES
If lesions are unresponsive, consider increasing to 2.5% and taper quickly with improvement.
8.
Body, arms, and legs: Use triamcinolone acetonide
0.025% (Aristocort A) cream BID up to 2 weeks. Avoid nor-
9.
For thick plaques, try Keralyt Gel (6% salicylic acid),
then corticosteroids.
10.
Use coal tar (Estar Gel) once or twice daily in combina-
tion with corticosteroids.
11.
Anthralin (Dritho-Creme) is benecial as an alternate
to steroid lotion for scalp psoriasis. Avoid sunlight.
12.
Vitamin D
analogue (calcipotriol), BID up to 8 weeks,
3
is comparable with midpotency corticosteroids. Avoid
face and skin folds.
13.
Systemic agents for moderate to severe psoriasis may
be used if other measures fail. Systemic agents should be prescribed by a dermatology specialist; these medi­cations include retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, and apremilast. These medications should be monitored closely for liver/kidney function changes.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
See the client in 2 to 3 weeks to evaluate treatment.
B.
Follow up in 2 months to monitor side effects.
C.
Follow-up must be individualized for each client.

SCABIES
DEFINITION
A.
Scabies is a contagious skin infestation by the mite Sarcoptes
scabiei (Figure 4.19).
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Medical management: For involvement greater than 20%
of body, refer the client to a dermatologist for the following:
1.
Light therapy with UVA or ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB
light therapy is often used in conjunction with keratolytic agents.
2.
Synthetic retinoids: Etretinate or acitretin are options.
3.
Low-dose cyclosporine or Azuldine can be effective.
B.
Refer the client with extensive disease, psoriatic arthri-
tis, or inammatory disease to a rheumatologist. Medications are used to suppress the immune system’s response, which include adalimumab (Humira), etanercept (Enbrel), inix­imab (Remicade), and ustekinumab (Stelara).
C.
Cases of generalized pustular psoriasis of exfolia-
tive erythroderma should be referred immediately to a dermatologist.
D.
All systemic therapies should be given under supervision
of a dermatologist or a rheumatologist.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Geriatrics:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
First-line therapy for mild to moderate psoriasis in
the elderly population is topical treatments. Systemic ste­roid therapies place geriatrics at a higher risk of adverse effects, including atrophy, rebound phenomenon, tachy­phylaxis, secondary skin infections, telangiectasia, and purpura.
2.
If topical treatment is not effective, before considering
other treatments, do an assessment for client adherence and physical function abilities. Verify the client is using the medication correctly and consistently.
3.
If the medication is being implemented appropriately,
then consider second-line treatments of systemic medica­tions or UVB phototherapy. Second-line therapies must have a thorough review of comorbidities, any client needs for assistance, and an evaluation of functional status before initiating the systemic/phototherapy.

INCIDENCE
A.
Scabies occurs mainly in individuals in close contact with
many other individuals, such as schoolchildren or nursing home residents. It is rare among African Americans.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Scabies is transmitted through close contact with an indi-
vidual who is infested with the mite S.scabies. Transmission may occur through sexual contact or contact with mite-infested clothing or sheets. The fertilized female mite burrows into the stratum corneum of a host and deposits eggs and fecal pellets. Larvae hatch, mature, and repeat the cycle.
B.
A hypersensitivity reaction is responsible for the intense
pruritus.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Close contact with large numbers of individuals.
B.
Institutionalized.
C.
Poverty.
D.
Sexual promiscuity.

COMMON
A. B. C. D.
OTHER
A.
COMPLAINTS
Intense itching, worse at night. Skin excoriation. Generalized pruritus. Rash.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Mites burrow in nger webs, wrists, sides of hands and
feet, axilla, buttocks, and in the penis and scrotum in males.
B.
Discrete vesicles and papules, distributed in linear fashion.
C.
Erythema.
D.
Secondary infections caused by scratching or infection
(pustules and pinpoint erosions).
E.
Nodules in covered areas (buttocks, groin, scrotum, penis,
and axilla), which may have slightly eroded surfaces that per­sist for months after mites have been eradicated.
F.
Diffuse eruption that spares the face.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Elicit information regarding housing conditions, close con-
DATA
tact, or sexual contact with potentially infected individuals.
B.
Question the client regarding onset, duration, and location
of itching.
PHYSICAL
A.
Check temperature.
B.
Inspect:
EXAMINATION
1.
Examine all body surfaces with client unclothed.
2.
Use a magnifying lens to identify characteristic bur-
rows in nger webs, wrists, and penis.
3.
Inspect adult pubic area for lesions.
3.
Household members should be treated simultaneously
as a prophylactic measure and to reduce the chance of reinfection.
4.
The client should be advised that pruritus may con-
tinue for up to a week even with a successful treatment due to local irritation.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Scabies.”
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
First line of therapy, due to its low toxicity, is 5% per-
methrin (Elimite Cream) applied to all body areas from the neck down and washed off in 8 to 14 hours. One appli­cation is highly effective, but some dermatologists recom­mend retreatment in 1 week.
2.
An oral dose of the anthelmintic agent ivermectin (200
mcg/kg) followed by a repeat dose in 1 to 2 weeks has been shown to be effective and to rapidly control pruritus in healthy clients and HIV clients.
3.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 25 to 50 mg may be
given PO every 4 to 6 hours if indicated for pruritus. Other nonsedating antihistamines may be used. Toxicity is usu­ally a result of client overtreatment (failure to follow pre­scribed regimen). Advise the client of this danger.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
Follow up in 2 weeks to assess treatment response.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Consult or refer the client to the physician if, at 2-week
follow-up, pharmaceutical therapy has been ineffective.
DIAGNOSTIC
A.
Three ndings are diagnostic of scabies:
1.
2.
3.
B.

or black felt-tipped pen, then wipe with an alcohol swab. The burrow absorbs the ink, while the surface ink is wiped clean.
C.
A tiny black dot may be seen at the end of a burrow, which
represents the mite, ova, or feces, and can be transferred by means of a 25-gauge hypodermic needle to immersion oil on a slide for microscopic identication.
D.
Place a drop of mineral oil on a suspected lesion, scrape
the lesion with a #15 blade, and transfer the shaved material to a microscope slide for direct examination of the mite under low power.

C.
Pityriasis rosea.
D.
Eczema.
E.
Seborrheic dermatitis.
F.
Syphilis.
G.
Pediculosis.
H.
Allergic or irritant contact dermatitis.
DIAGNOSES
PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Implement comfort measures to reduce pruritus.
2.
Treat secondary infection(s) with antibiotics.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pregnancy:
1.
CONSIDERATIONS
Permethrin is classied as category B by the Food and
Drug Administration. Use is only recommended if the benets outweigh the risks.
B.
Pediatrics:
1.
Infants and toddlers often have more widespread
involvement, which can include the face and scalp.
2.
Vesicular lesions on thepalms and soles are more com-
monly seen.
3.
Drug of choice is permethrin 5% cream; apply over the
head, neck, and body, avoiding the eyes. The cream should be removed by bathing within 8 to 14 hours.
4.
Infants and children with underlying cutaneous dis-
ease, malnutrition, prematurity, or a history of seizure dis­orders should be treated with special caution due to their increased risk of toxicity.
C.
Partners:
1.
All intimate contacts within the past month and close
household and family members should be treated.
D.
Geriatrics:
1.
The elderly tend to have more severe pruritus despite
fewer lesions.
2.
They are at risk of extensive infections due to
age-related decline in immunity.
3.
The excoriations may become severe and may be com-
plicated by cellulitis.
4.
Avoid rst-generation anticholinergics due to risk of
confusion, dry mouth, constipation, and other anticholin­ergic effects or toxicity.
5.
Geriatric clients with dementia or declining functional
abilities need a thorough home environment assessment and an evaluation for any issues of neglect or abuse.

SEBORRHEIC
DERMATITIS
DEFINITION
A.
A common chronic, erythematous, scaling dermatosis,
seborrheic dermatitis occurs in areas of the most active seba­ceous glands, such as the face and scalp, body folds, and pre­sternal region (Figure 4.20).
OTHER
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A.
Variable pruritus, often increasing with perspiration and
in winter.
B.
Oily, aking skin on erythemic base around ears, nose,
eyebrows, and eyelids.
C.
Red, cracking skin in body folds, axilla, groin, or in ano-
genital, submammary, or umbilical areas.
D.
Primary lesions: plaques.
E.
Secondary lesions: erythema, scales, ssures, exudate, and
symmetric eyelid involvement.
F.
Lesions with drainage or crusting may indicate secondary
bacterial infection.
G.
Distribution pattern in infants: scalp and diaper area.
H.
Distribution area in adults: scalp, eyebrows, paranasal
area, nasolabial fold, chin, behind ears, chest, and groin.
I.
Secondary impetigo in children.
SUBJECTIVE
A.
Identify location, onset, and progression of symptoms.
B.
Ask the client to describe symptoms. Ask if the skin is
DATA
itchy or painful.
C.
Assess lesions for any associated discharge (blood or pus).
D.
Elicit information regarding use of topical medications,
soaps, creams, or lotions. Quiz the client regarding any oral medications being taken.
E.
Determine whether there were any preceding sys-
temic symptoms (fever, sore throat, anorexia, or vaginal discharge).
F.
Rule out any possible exposure to industrial or domestic
toxins.
G.

condition.
FIGURE
4.20 Infantile seborrheic
dermatitis.
INCIDENCE
A.
Seborrheic dermatitis is very common, affecting approxi-
mately 1% to 5% of the general population.
B.
Incidence is higher in HIV-infected individuals, ranging
from 34% to 83%.
PATHOGENESIS
A.
Etiology is unknown. There is a possibility that it is hor-
monally dependent, has a fungal (Pityrosporum ovale or Candida albicans) component, is neurogenic, or may reect a
nutritional deciency.
B.
Currently, it is identied as an inammatory disorder that
most probably results from a dysfunction of sebaceous glands.
PREDISPOSING
A.
Possible link between infantile and adult forms.
B.
Possible familial trend.
C.
High association with HIV-infected individuals.
COMMON
A.
Infants: “cradle cap.”

PLAN
A.
General interventions:
1.
Shampooing is the foundation of treatment.
a.
Infants:
i.
Rub petroleum jelly into the scalp to soften
crusts 20 to 30 minutes before shampooing.
ii.
Shampoo daily with baby shampoo using a soft
brush.
b.
Toddlers or adolescents:
i.
Shampoo every other day with antiseborrheic
shampoo (Selsun Blue, Exsel, or Nizoral).
2.
If the skin does not clear after 1 to 2 weeks of treatment,
it is appropriate to use ketoconazole 2% cream.
3.
Seborrheic blepharitis:
a.
Hot compress plus gentle debridement with
cotton-tipped applicator and baby shampoo twice a day.
b.
For secondary bacterial infection, sulfacetamide
sodium 10% (ophthalmic Sodium Sulamyd).
4.
Continue treatment for several days after lesions
disappear.
B.
Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for this chapter,
“Seborrheic Dermatitis.”
C.
Pharmaceutical therapy:
1.
Most shampoos should be used two times per week.
Those with coal tar can be used three times per week.
2.
Medicated shampoos:
a.
Coal tar (Denorex, T/Gel, Pentrax, Tegrin) sham-
poo, apply as directed.
b.
Salicylic acid (Ionil Plus, P and S) shampoo, apply as
directed.
c.
Selenium sulde (Exsel, Selsun Blue) shampoo, use
daily.
d.
Ketoconazole 2% (Nizoral) cream, apply to affected
area BID for 4 to 6 weeks.
e.
Combination shampoos: coal tar and salicylic acid
(T/Sal); salicylic acid and sulfur (Sebulex). These shampoos may be used one to two times a week, alternating with other shampoos during the week. Always apply corticosteroids in a thin layer only; avoid the eyes.
3.
Topical corticosteroid lotions or solutions: Use in com-
bination with medicated shampoo if 2 to 3 weeks of treat­ment with shampoo alone fails.
4.
Adults: scalp:
a.
Start with medium potency, for example, betameth-
asone valerate 0.1% lotion 20 to 60mL BID.
b.
If treatment is not effective in 2 weeks, increase
potency, for example, uocinonide 0.05% solution 20 to 60mL BID, or uocinolone acetonide 0.01% oil 120mL nightly with shower cap.
c.
As dermatitis is controlled, decrease to mild potency,
for example, hydrocortisone 1% to 2.5% lotion 20 to 60mL once or BID.
5.
Adults: face or groin:
a.
Low-potency agents, for example, hydrocortisone
1% cream or desonide 0.05% cream once or BID.
b.
Consider lotion for eyebrows for easier application.
c.
Metronidazole 1% gel on face once or twice daily.
6.
Recalcitrant disease:
a.
Add ketoconazole 2% cream (15, 30, or 60 g) every
day.
b.
Use sulfacetamide sodium 10%, with sulfur 5%,
lotion 25 g once or twice daily.
FOLLOW-UP
A.
Advise the client to call the ofce in 5 to 6 days to report
progress.
B.
The client should return to the ofce if no improvement is
seen.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A.
Refer the client to a dermatologist if the condition does not
clear in 10 to 14 days.
INDIVIDUAL
A.
Pregnancy:
1.
B.
Pediatrics:
1.
2.
3.
CONSIDERATIONS
Ketoconazole is not recommended.
Avoid using tar preparations on infants. Use baby shampoo only. If lesions are inammatory, use topical steroids no
stronger than hydrocortisone 0.5% to 1.0% BID.
4.
Betamethasone valerate (Valisone) lotion may be used
daily for scalp only if other treatments fail.
5.
Be aware of potential for emotional distress in
adolescents.
6.
Treat with antiseborrheic shampoo every other day for
adolescents.
C.
Geriatrics:
1.
Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the most common
inammatory skin disorders in the elderly population. Clients with light dry skin are at the greater risk of an occurrence, especially during the winter.
