It looks like childhood eczema but is it?

Abstract

In childhood, the most common type of eczema/dermatitis is atopic dermatitis, which occurs in up to 25% of children world-wide. However, the diagnosis may sometimes be challenging and atopic dermatitis may resemble other types of dermatitis as well as other skin diseases such as psoriasis, infections, infestations and malignancies as well as metabolic, genetic and autoimmune disorders. This review will focus on how to recognize the most common types of dermatitis in children and adolescents and how to separate them from the most common differential diagnoses clinically and histologically. Atopic dermatitis Seborrheic dermatitis Allergic contact dermatitis (due to nickel in a belt buckle) Psoriasis (plaque type, guttat form, scalp and nail pitting) (Continues) How to cite this article: Mortz CG, Brockow K, Bindslev-Jensen C, Broesby-Olsen S.

Children atopic dermatitis: Diagnosis, mimics, overlaps, and therapeutic implication

“…39,41 Patients with AD who develop EH tend to have more severe AD, earlier-onset AD, high total serum immunoglobulin E/peripheral eosinophils, and presence of other atopic diseases such as food allergies and asthma, as compared to their AD counterparts without EH. 39,41 It may be confused with impetigo, especially in patients with a history of severe AD (EH incognito) or in the early stages with AD itself. 39,41 Bacterial positivity on skin culture does not exclude EH.…”

Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Narrative Review on Contemporary Diagnosis and Management

“…The lesions are well-circumscribed, light reddish spots or thin plaques, ranging from micrometers to centimeters in width. A thin rolling border or central atrophy are other characteristics, but other lesions show just erythema and slight scale resembling a nummular eczema patch [ 21 , 22 ]. Structureless hypopigmentation, short fine telangiectasia, multiple erosions, varying chromatism and a pearly crimson backdrop are all typical findings on dermoscopic inspection [ 16 , 23 ].…”

Clinical Case of Rare Variant of Inherited Dermatosis: Acrodermatitis Enteropathica

“…Вместе с тем поражения кожи, особенно в сочетании с патологией внутренних органов, оказывают негативное влияние на качество жизни не только самого пациента, но и членов его семьи. Верификация диагноза наследственных и ненаследственных дерматозов определяет не только тактику терапии патологического процесса, но и служит основанием для разработки стратегии профилактики обострений, ВОПРОСЫ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ПЕДИАТРИИ /2020/ ТОМ 19/ № 1 лежит в основе медико-генетического консультирования по прогнозу потомства и т. д. Следует отметить, что чувствительность и специфичность методов дифференциальной диагностики редких наследственных заболеваний, в том числе дерматозов, по-прежнему во многом зависят от знаний специалистов, проводящих обследование пациентов [1].…”
