Epidermis The outer layer of the skin No blood supply Composed of stratified squamous epithelium Divided into layers: Stratum germinativum, pigment-
containing layer, stratum corneum

Dermis True skin Contains blood vessels, nerves, oil glands, sweat glands,
and hair folliclesSubcutaneous layer
Connects the skin to the muscles Composed of adipose and loose connective tissue

Appendages of the skin Sudoriferous glands sweat glands Ceruminous glands secrete cerumen (earwax)
Located in the external ear canal Sebaceous glands oil glands

keratin Nails
Composed mainly of keratin

Inspection and palpation (continued) Assess for rashes, scars, lesions, or ecchymoses Assess temperature and texture Inspect nails for normal development, color, shape,
and thickness Inspect hair for thickness, dryness, or dullness Inspect mucous membranes for pallor or cyanosis Assess the ceruminous and sebaceous gland for
overactivity or underactivity

Ecchymoses is a subcutaneous purpura (extravasation of blood) larger than 1 centimeter or a hematoma , commonly, but erroneously, called a bruise

Assessment of dark skin Degree of lightness or darkness is genetically
determined Melanocytes account for skin color Lips and mucous membranes are easier to assess as
the skin is thinner Rashes may be difficult to see and will require
palpation

2 types of bacteria Staph Strep

Starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures Oozes for a few days
Forms a yellowish-brown crust (looks likehoney or brown sugar)

Highly contagious! Scratching or touching sores can spread it to
other parts of body Can be spread to other people, too

I Impetigo Contagiosa Itchy sores No fever, normally Swollen lymph nodes in infected area
II Bullous Impetigo Painless fluid filled blisters, which break and scab
with a yellow crust Red and itchy skin around sores
8/12/2019 Skin Infectious Diesease Gops
27/52
III Ecthyma- More serious, penetrates to dermis
Painful fluid- or pus-filled sores that turn into deepulcers, usually on the legs and feet
A hard, thick, gray-yellow crust covering the sores Swollen lymph glands in the affected area
Scars that remain after the ulcers heal

Risk Factors Direct contact with an adult or child who has
impetigo or with contaminated towels, beddingor clothing
Crowded conditions Warm, humid weather impetigo infections
are more common in summer
Participation in sports that involve skin-to-skincontact, such as football or wrestling Having chronic dermatitis

Minor infections can clear in 2-3 weekswithout medication
Can lead to complications Sometimes treated by oral antibiotics or an
antibiotic ointment Normally arent contagious after 24 hours of
antibiotic treatment

Head Louse One sees its eggs, which are minute, white oval
bodies, so-called "nits," deposited on the scalp hairs.
There is periodic itching and stinging sensations inthe scalp. One examination, one commonly sees scratch marks
on the back of the neck as well as nits on some of thescalp hairs
8/12/2019 Skin Infectious Diesease Gops
39/52
Treatment consists in washing the scalp withanti pediculosis shampoo. A comb with fineteeth may then be used to carry the nits

BODY LOUSE It causes itching of the trunk. The itching is worse during the day, that is, when the
infected clothing is in contact with the body. One sees parallel rows of long and short linear
scratch marks on the areas which are easily accessibleto the finger nails.

Ringworm is a disease which is produced bynumerous varieties of vegetable parasites called"fungi."
Many of the hair stumps in the involved areas have
delicate whitish sheaths about them, and the patcheshave the appearance of having been strewn withashes, the grayish appearance being due to finescaling in the areas.

In the beginning the lesions are usually solid discs, but within a few days after their appearance they clearin the center, thus forming a circle. This characteristic
is responsible for the common name of the disorder. Since the infected child may pass the condition on to
others, he should be isolated until treated.

It is most often contracted from walking barefoot onfloors infected with the causative organism
It begins under the toes as an itching, splitting, and
maceration of the skin. Later, blisters usually appearon the soles and sides of the feet
Maceration is defined as the softening and
breaking down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture

The disorder is manifested by large or small pimplesand blackheads , seen chiefly on the face, forehead,neck, back, chest, and outer surfaces of the arms .
8/12/2019 Skin Infectious Diesease Gops

Factors Individual's general vitality tends to aggravate the acne Constipation, faulty diet, anemia
Insufficient sleep, or improper hygiene. In young women it is frequently aggravated by the
menstrual period All cases of acne should be properly treated to avoid
subsequent scarring and to afford the afflictedindividual a minimum of embarrassment.

sweets, fried foods, highly seasoned articles of diet,
and indigestible foods. Fresh aid, sunshine, sufficient rest and sleep, and
exercise in moderation are important. The bowelsshould be regulated by diet alone.

It is characterized by from one to a dozen or morewell-elevated, horny thickenings . Although theselesions are usually responsible for no discomfort, theyoften become inflamed when they are so located thatthey are frequently injured
The organism usually gains entrance into the skin
through such an abrasion. One should not pick at warts. Picking them will not
cure them, and it will spread them
