The correct answer is Pyoderma Gangrenosum! This illustrates a quick first point - scarring only occurs if you damage the skin into dermis and beyond. Epidermal damage heals without scarring, which is why the first 3 don't lead to scarring!

So what exactly is a scar?
Scarring is a normal part of healing that at its root, is extra collagen laid down to repair skin injury.
However, sometimes the process gets out of hand and exuberant which leads to hypertrophic scars (pic 1) keloids (pic 2)!

Congenital malalignment of the great toenails ā lateral deviation of the first toenails. More common than you think. Start looking at more toes and youāll see it! Can improve with time or persist. Risk for nail thickening or ingrown nails.

Regardless how you answered, I hope to teach you something today! Let's start!
"In #dermatology, we don't do an H+P, we do a P+H."
The exam is perhaps most important. You can use it to narrow down your ddx! Then, you use your history to further work toward the right dx.

"If there's scale, there probably is epidermal involvement."
Scale usually implies action in the epidermis. This doesn't rule out anything in the dermis or subcutis, but just that the pathology includes action up top.

Onychomycosis is more common in adults than kids.
Trauma, diabetes, immunosuppression, tinea pedis, psoriasis, and family history are some risk factors
Pro tip- check the feet for tinea pedis if you suspect onychomycosis!

The big toenail is most frequently affected.

The correct answer is wrists! LP lesions are most commonly seen on flexor wrists, trunk, medial thighs, and shins. It very rarely involves the face.
The mnemonic for the clinical appearance of LP is to remember the "Ps."

You can also make out white and gray lacy streaks and puncta. This is called "Wickham Striae" which helps confirm the diagnosis (1).
Notably, LP also can go to the oropharynx, which can cause erosive lesions that are painful. Wickham Striae are easier to see in the mouth (2).

Unlike DRESS and morbilliform eruptions, AGEP doesn't require repeated exposure of drug. So one single dose can definitely cause AGEP. A typical place we see this is with perioperative antibiotics!
Common culprits are Penicillins, quinolones, sulfa, antifungals, and CCBs!

A = Assess, prevent, and manage pain
ICU patients are often unable to communicate pain.
The CPOT (Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool) is a validated, non-verbal assessment to ensure pain is controlled (score of >2 = pain that should be treated)

#Obesity and #COVIDć¼19 have been in the headlines recently.
The link between the two is now undeniable.
Letās take a look at WHY they are so tightly linked molecularly, physiologically, and anatomically in this #tweetorial.

We learned quite a bit about obesity and viral infection in 2009 during the #H1N1 epidemic. Obesity led to:
š¼risk of ICU admission
š¼viral shedding
š¼recovery times
But WHY?

The story is complex, but inflammation plays a critical role.
Individuals with obesity are in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation as evidenced by altered levels of several cytokines such as TNFĪ±, IL-6, and CRP.

As opposed to the papulosquamous reaction pattern, the dermal pattern implies the action is DEEP in the DERMIS. This means that without epidermal alteration, you shouldn't see scale!
There is of course an exception with overlying xerosis or if you have another process on top!

When you see something dermal, you have to think about what is infiltrating the skin. A few possibilities/examples:
Edema/fluid š urticaria (1)
Inflammatory cells (reactive) š granuloma annulare (2)
Inflammatory cells (cancer) š CBCL (3)
Collagen š Morphea (4)
