SKIN PHYSIOLOGY
5. Which cell type is the most important in regulating promotion of growth factors and affecting wound healing?
C. Macrophages.
The macrophage is the most important regulator of growth factors in the wound-healing process. They are
the second in line to arrive on the scene, following neutrophils, in the acute inflammatory response (days
1
1–6).

6. A patient is told to stop smoking cigarettes 4 to 6 weeks prior to her upcoming breast augmentation surgery.
By having her stop cigarette use, what primary negative effect on wound healing are you trying to mitigate?
E. Peripheral microvascular vasoconstriction.
Although cigarette use has been shown to have a host of negative effects on wound healing, the primary
mechanism by which it is proposed to affect healing is by having negative effects on the inflammatory
phase of wound healing by causing peripheral microvascular vasoconstriction.

7. Final scar healing strength will reach a maximum of 80% original strength by approximately __ days.
E. 90.
During the maturation phase (week 3 to 1 year) of wound healing, there is equilibrium between collagen
formation, deposition, and breakdown. Stronger cross-links are formed through increased collagen organization, as type I collagen replaces type III to revert back to the original 4:1 ratio. Finally, healing tensile
strength will begin to plateau, achieving a maximum of 80% of original strength by about 90 days from initiation of wound-healing process.

FACTORS AFFECTING WOUND HEALING
8. In which of the following skin conditions can surgical correction be beneficial?
C. Cutis laxa.
Cutis laxa may benefit from surgical correction. This originates from a nonfunctioning elastase inhibitor,
which leads to gradual degeneration of elastic fibers in the skin of those affected. The skin develops a coarse
texture, drooping all over the body. Although the condition slowly worsens over time, surgical correction
may still be indicated and can also be quite beneficial for patients with cutis laxa (unlike A, B, D, and E).
The primary treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome is stopping nonessential medications that may be the

if needed.

9. Which of the following medications is associated with decreasing collagen synthesis?
E. Anti-inflammatory agents.
A thorough history of medication usage (recent past, present) is vital to understanding a patient's
potential for adverse wound healing. Anti-inflammatory drugs in particular have been associated with
decreasing the amount of collagen synthesis significantly, by about 45%. This can have a detrimental
effect on wound-healing properties of skin following aesthetic procedures. Thus, patients should be
counseled well before surgery to abstain for at least 2 weeks prior and after surgery.

SKIN ANALYSIS
10. How does treatment approach differ for static versus dynamic rhytids of the face?
D. Static rhytids can be treated with laser resurfacing, fillers, or surgery.
Static rhytids of the face appear at rest, without requiring facial expression muscle movement to
accentuate. These are best treated by laser resurfacing, filler injection, or (definitively) with surgery.
Dynamic rhytids, on the other hand, are accentuated with animation of facial expression musculature,
and thus respond well to neurotoxin treatment.

SKIN ANALYSIS
11. In determining aggressiveness of a melanoma, which of the following characteristics is most predictive of
staging and prognosis?
D. Depth >2 mm.
Breslow thickness (measurement of depth of invasion, superficial to deep) is the most important factor
in the staging and prognosis of melanoma-type skin cancer. Best prognosis is given for depth of <0.75
mm; the worst is classif ied by >4 mm of depth. Any depth between these values warrants a sentinel
lymph node biopsy. Although the other factors listed are important in the identification of melanomatype skin cancer, only the depth is used as a prognostic, staging tool.

12. A retired farmer presents with multiple, small, rough and scaly erythematous plaques on his face. Which of
the following is an appropriate initial course of action in treating this patient?
B. Topical 5-FU.
Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly, erythematous patches or plaques, often appearing on sun-exposed
areas such as the scalp, face, rim of ear, or dorsal upper extremity. They are considered premalignant

lesions, as approximately 10% will eventually progress to squamous cell carcinoma, and 60% of
squamous cell carcinomas arise within an actinic keratosis. When multiple actinic keratoses are present,
it is often not practical to treat each spot individually. Standard of care includes either topical therapy
with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or topical imiquimod. Standard surgical excision in order to prevent
progression to cancer is also an accepted method of treatment. However, this is often reserved for cases
where it is difficult to tell if the lesion is an actinic keratosis or an earlycancer.

of developing malignant melanoma?
C. Family history of melanoma.
Among the options listed, none of the factors predisposes to melanoma development more strongly than
does a positive family history of melanoma. Another notable risk factor is patients with multiple atypical
nevi throughout their life.

CLEANSERS
1. Which of the following is true regarding high detergent surfactants?
B. They may lead to barrier damage and inability of skin to hold water.
The active ingredients of cleansers are surfactants. Compared with low detergent surfactants that remove
less skin surface sebum, high detergent surfactants may remove skin surface sebum and intracellular lipids,
leading to barrier damage and dry skin. For this reason, patients with dry skin benefit from surfactants that
remove less skin surface sebum, such as cleansers based on sodium cocoyl isethionate. Synthetic
moisturizers would be considered low detergent surfactants as they remove less sebum; therefore, E is
incorrect.

MOISTURIZERS
2. Which of the following moisturizers acts by drawing water from deeper skin layers to the dehydrated stratum
corneum?
E. Glycerin.
Glycerin is a humectant, a class of moisturizer that hydrates the stratum corneum by drawing water from the
dermis and epidermis below. Its action is mediated by regulation of aquaporin channels in the skin.
Petrolatum, lanolin, oils, and dimethicone are occlusive agents that act as barriers, physically reducing
transepidermal water loss.

after he began applying a new balm for increasingly chapped lips. Which of the following agents is the most
likely cause of this reaction?
B. Lanolin.
Based on the location of the rash and the patient's history of application of a new skin product, allergic
contact dermatitis is the most likely diagnosis. The etiology is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to
an antigen in the balm the patient applied to the lips. Although any product may potentially cause such a
reaction, lanolin, a derivative of sheep sebaceous secretions, is particularly associated with allergic contact
dermatitis.

BOTANICALS
6. Which of the following compounds acts as a topical antioxidant that can improve photodamaged skin?
C. Retinol.
Retinol is the naturally occurring form of vitamin A, and it acts as an antioxidant when applied to the
skin. On the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid, which improves photodamage. Soy increases collagen
synthesis, silymarin decreases the formation of DNA-damaging pyrimidine dimers, and curcumin acts as
a moisturizer. Although grape seed extract does act as a free radical scavenger, it has not been shown to
improve photodamaged skin.

TREATMENT OF PIGMENTED SKIN
7. Regimens to treat pigmented skin should include a cleanser (such as glycolic acid) followed by a serum that
inhibits which of the following enzymes?
A. Tyrosinase.
Treatment of pigmented skin is twofold; both a cleanser such as glycolic acid and a tyrosinase-inhibiting
serum/moisturizer such as kojic acid or hydroquinone are required. Tyrosinase inhibition hinders
pigmentation, as tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme controlling the production of melanin.

3. Which of the following is characteristic of dry skin in ethnic populations?
A. Darker skin is associated with higher transepidermal water loss.
Dryness in ethnic skin is partially attributable to increased transepidermal water loss. The resultant dry
skin is prone to cracks, which predispose the patient to develop acne. Another cosmetic concern related
to dryness in pigmented skin is stratum corneum shedding, which produces an ashy-appearing scale that
is difficult to camouflage on a pigmented backdrop. Additionally, there are higher rates of inf lammation,
irritation, and hyperpigmentation due to impaired barrier function.
