8 Varying severity Chronic vs. Acute Atopic Dermatitis Mainstays of AD Treatment Adequate skin hydration Daily bath or shower is good! No longer than 10 or 15 minutes Soap-free cleanser Tepid water Moisturizing Regimen Thick emollient applied to skin within 3 minutes of bathing and several other times during the day (infants every diaper change) Petroleum jelly works best and cheapest! Thick creams water plus petrolatum Lotions - more water than petrolatum Best if applied throughout the day Mainstays of AD Treatment Avoidance of Irritants Harsh soaps, detergents Fragrances Wool clothing Avoidance of Allergens Mainstays of AD Treatment Reduce local inflammation with topical steroids Twice daily application Decrease itching with topical steroids and antihistamines Topical and oral antibiotics for superinfection when necessary AD Therapy Pitfalls Medication efficacy Only 44% of physicians and 19% of patients/parents think prescription products for atopic dermatitis are effective* Fears of local or systemic effects of chronic steroid use Skin atrophy, HP axis suppression, growth and development Fears of chronic use of antihistamines *NEASE (National Eczema Association for Science and Education) Survey, AAD Mtg, March
9 Molluscum Contagiosum Poxvirus family Viral volcanoes Pearly flesh to pink colored papules, often translucent, can become inflamed with host immune response. Often puritic. Frequently seen on the face, neck, arm pits, groin, arms and hands MOLLUSCUM Can have associated dermatitis from scratching and inflammation. Can be confused with chicken pox, moles, warts, acne Resolution in 6-12 months but can take up to 2 years MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM: EPIDEMIOLOGY Who? School age children between 1-10 years of age Immune compromised ( HIV, Chemotherapy patients) Increased incidence in number of cases since 1966 TRANSMISSION Transmitted skin to skin contact and fomites (clothing, towels, sports equipment) as well as pool and bath water. Autoinoculation (picking, scratching) most common mode of spreading. HOW TO AVOID SPREADING/INFECTION Good hygiene habits Hand washing Do not touch, pick, or scratch any skin with active molluscum Keep affected skin covered if possible During contact sports/ water activities keep affected areas covered with water tight bandages Do not share clothing or towels TREATMENT FOR MOLLUSCUM Cantharidin- extract from blister beetle Catharis vesicatoria. Droplets placed on active molluscum, rinsed 4-6 hours after application in office. Can develop a blister or redness. Cryotherapy Curettage Cimetidine (Tagamet) Topical retinoids (Retin-A, Differin) painted to the tops of molluscum each night. Watchful waiting 9
10 What the CDC recomends There should be no reason to keep a child with molluscum infection home from day care or school. MRSA Growths not covered by clothing should be covered with a watertight bandage. Change the bandage daily or when obviously soiled. If a child with bumps in the underwear/diaper area needs assistance going to the bathroom or needs diaper changes, then growths in this area should be bandaged too if possible. Covering the bumps will protect other children and adults from getting molluscum and will also keep the child from touching and scratching the bumps, which could spread the bumps to other parts of his/her body or cause secondary (bacterial) infections. Community Acquired 1990s emerged in community 86% MRSA infection Hospital Acquired Healthcare related Chronic conditions requiring frequent hospitalization Skin and systemic infections MRSA MRSA High Risk Settings Daycares Schools Sports Teams Military Dorms Jails/Prisons Tattoo recipients MRSA MRSA Factors that facilitate Transmission Crowding Compromised Skin Shared Items Contaminated Surfaces Cleanliness Inappropriate Antibiotic Use Cellulitis Distribution Treatment Oral Antibiotics IV Antibiotics Culture Lesion Nasal Swab 10
