Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (dermatology)

Anetoderma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Anetodermia (synonym: spotted skin atrophy) is a type of skin atrophy characterized by the absence of elastic tissue.

Skin xanthomas: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Xanthoma of the skin, in particular multiple tuberous xanthomas, is one of the manifestations of impaired lipid metabolism. An increase in the level of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood plasma was found because of a disruption in the formation, transport and splitting of lipoproteins. Clinically distinguish eruptive, tuberous, tendon and flat xanthomas.

Pellagra

Pellagra (pelle agra) is a disease that occurs as a result of deficiency in the body of nicotinamide, tryptophan, vitamins belonging to group B. If the clinical manifestations of the disease were first described by the Spanish doctor G. Casal (1735), then the Italian doctor F. Frappoli called the disease pellagra.

Amyloidosis of the skin

Amyloidosis is a metabolic disorder in which amyloid deposits in the body tissues occur. Studies have shown that amyloid is a protein glycoprotein. The deposition of this protein leads to disruption of the vital activity of tissues and organs.

Enteropathic acrodermatitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Acrodermatitis enteropathic (synonym: Dunbolt-Kloss syndrome) is a rare systemic disease caused by a deficiency of zinc in the body due to its absorption in the small intestine.

Pink acne

Pink acne (synonyms: acne rosacea, rosacea, redheads) is a chronic disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the facial skin in combination with the increased sensitivity of the capillaries of the dermis to heat.

Acne vulgaris

Vulgar acne (synonyms: common acne, youthful acne, acne) - an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands, usually occurring during puberty. Sick girls aged 10-17 years, boys - 14-19 years. The most often severe form affects young men.

Alopecia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Alopecia (alopecia) - abnormal hair loss on the head, face, rarely - on the trunk and extremities. There are cicatricial and non-scarring alopecia. Scar alopecia occurs due to the destruction of hair follicles due to inflammation, atrophy or scarring in case of lupus erythematosus, pseudoplella, and Little-Lassuire syndrome. Follicular mucinosis.

Paget's disease

Paget's disease refers to precancerous conditions. It is believed that extramammary forms are associated with carcinoma of the sweat glands. Foci in the area of mammary glands are considered as metastases by per continual breast cancer. As the provoking factors may be trauma, scar changes and other endo- and exogenous factors.

Basal cell carcinoma (basal cell carcinoma)

Basalioma is a slowly growing and rarely metastatic basal cell carcinoma that occurs in the epidermis or hair follicles whose cells are similar to the basal cells of the epidermis. Basalioma is considered not as a cancer or a benign neoplasm, but as a special kind of tumor with local destructive growth.
