Genital Rash-The Exam and Differentials
-Female in mid 30’s reports chronic rash on labia
-History of moderate atopic dermatitis and psoriatic plaques
-Review signs and symptoms and any precipitating factors and treatments (non-prescribed but many tried)
-Do TBSE-including flexures, scalp/ears and genitalia
Infectious - rule out tinea or candida
Dermatitis– contact (hygiene products) vs irritant (shaving)
Dermatoses-psoriasis vs intertrigo vs atopic

Diagnostic and Treatment Plan
Culture for bacteria and fungal infection
Wash flip flops (she wore the same ones in the yard and garden-even to fertilize and use pesticides) or change gardening footwear
Treat with topical mid-potency corticosteroids
Contact Dermatitis and Sherlock Holmes Melodie Young, MSN, AGNP A1
16
Next Steps
• Biopsy including investigation of fungal hyphae and spores
• Initiate therapy for pruritis (primary reason she came to clinic) -clotrimazole/betamethasone combination or just class 1 or 2 topical corticosteroid, or anti-fungal
• Culture for bacteria to rule out bullous impentigo
• Change footwear and wash all of her flip flops
• OTC aluminum acetate Burow’s solution compresses
Contact Dermatitis and Sherlock Holmes Melodie Young, MSN, AGNP A1
17
Case Solved
• Culture negative for bacterial infection
• Fungal exam - + for tinea pedis
• Report of exacerbating rash with prescription corticostseroids
• Initiated naftifine antifungal gel bid x 30 days as well as terbinafine 250mg po x 2 weeks
• Discontinue all topical corticosteroids and OTC diphenhydramine/zinc acetate topical

Facial Rash
Female in her mid-30s with new onset erythematous pustules and papules in nasolabial folds and chin
Treated with OTC hydrocortisone when it presented several weeks prior as ‘dry patches that burned’

19
Perioral Dermatitis
• Nasolabial rash, papules or pustules
• Pruritic or sensitive
• May come and go
• May affect area around the nose, chin or eyes
• Linked to corticosteroid use-topically, nasal spray, and inhalers
• Linked to cinnamon, whitening products, acidic foods, fluorinated dental products and overuse of skincare products
• Most common in young adult females

Perioral Dermatitis Differentials
• Acne
• Rosacea
• Steroid Induced Perioral Dermatitis (POD)
• Post-dental Procedure (POD)
• Contact Dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis and Sherlock Holmes Melodie Young, MSN, AGNP A1
21
POD- Mild to moderate: due to 1% hydrocortisone cream bid x 2 weeks
• Wean off hydrocortisone to prevent rebound
• Oral doxycycline til clear
• Sulfacetamide/sulfur cleanser or lotion

Nail Treatments
• Psoriasis
• Beware of psoriatic arthritis
• Treatment• Any biologic• Apremilast or methotrexate• Topicals ineffective

tavaborole most effective (nearing 60%) if used for 9-12 months
• Ciclopirox ( approximately 20% efficacy) over 9-12 months
• If yeast, not fungus, consider fluconazole
