Hyperpigmentation in the aging adult would consist of keratosis and lentigines.
Café au lait spots and hemangiomas would be seen in newborns.
Precancerous keratotic lesion.A raised, rough plaque of red-tan pigmentation with a silver-white scale
Lichenification is caused by prolonged intense scratching eventually thickening the skin and producing tightly packed sets of papules; this looks like surface of moss (or lichen).
Keratoses .lesions that are raised, thickened areas of pigmentation that look crusted, scaly, and warty. seborrheic keratosis, looks dark, greasy, and “stuck on”.
A grouping of six or more café au lait macules, each more than 1.5 cm in diameter, in a newborn requires further evaluation by the in-house neonatal nurse practitioner as they are diagnostic of neurofibromatosis, an inherited neurocutaneous disease erythema toxicum is a common rash that appears in the first 3 to 4 days of life. Sometimes called the “flea bite” rash or newborn rash, it consists of tiny, punctate, red macules and papules on the cheeks, trunk, chest, back, and buttocks. The cause is unknown; no treatment is needed.
Cutis marmorata is a transient mottling in the trunk and extremities in response to cooler room temperatures. It forms a reticulated red or blue pattern over the skin. Persistent or pronounced cutis marmorata occurs with Down syndrome or prematurity. harlequin color change, occurs when the baby is in a side-lying position. The lower half of the body turns red and the upper half blanches with a distinct demarcation line down the midline. The cause is unknown, and its occurrence is transient.
The equipment needed to assess the skin, its appendages and, if necessary, lesions include: strong direct lighting (natural daylight preferred), ruler, pen light, magnifier, gloves, filtered ultraviolet light, glass slide, and KOH.
A furuncle is best described as a suppurative, inflammatory skin lesion due to an infected hair follicle. annular shape of a lesion as being
