I’ve been trying to up my outfit game at work in the #PedsICU to be more fashionable/put together. One of the nurses yesterday said “dang girl. What is going on? For the last two weeks you’ve been walking around looking like a dermatologist” A compliment only #medsky would understand! #dermsky

Tattoos and Increased Risk of Cancer A Danish twin study found that tattoo ink exposure is linked to a higher risk of skin cancer (3.91x risk) and lymphoma (2.73x risk), especially with large tattoos. buff.ly/qRSrcBW #medsky 🛟🧪 #dermsky

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS 👗) 🍞 + 🧈 topic for internists, frequently encountered in infectious diseases due to association with many antibiotics (see table) and b/c it can mimic infection Review in @nejm.org #MedSky #DermSky #IDSky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Clinical Features of DRESS and Other Cutaneous Adverse Reactions.
Panel A shows the pleomorphic cutaneous findings associated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Panel B shows the morphologic features of cutaneous adverse reactions, including DRESS — erosive and exfoliative changes in a patient with DRESS, a morbilliform eruption concentrated on the torso in a patient with an uncomplicated drug eruption, labial erosions with hemorrhagic crusting in a patient with the Stevens–Johnson syndrome and full-thickness epidermal necrosis with bullae formation and a positive Nikolsky’s sign in a patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis, nonfollicular pustules (1 to 2 mm in diameter) on a background of erythema in a patient with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and a patient with severe AGEP with erythroderma, numerous sterile pustules, and lakes of pus. AGEP can also be associated with facial edema and the accentuation of earlobe creases.

Select Inflammatory and Immunologic Processes Relevant to DRESS.
There are several proposed mechanisms by which drug molecules become antigenic or induce sensitization, leading to an expansion of drug-specific T cells. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells play a role in mediating inflammation in DRESS. Type 1 helper T cells (Th1) produce cytokines such as interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and CXCL10, and type 2 helper T cells (Th2) produce cytokines such as interleukin-5, interleukin-4, and interleukin-13. Interleukin-5 is intimately involved in the recruitment, activation, and survival of eosinophils. Thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC, or CCL17), which is produced mainly by keratinocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), and Langerhans cells, recruits Th2 cells that express CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4). Interleukin-13 can direct DCs toward Th2 polarization and promote TARC production. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells, which are responsive to thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and interleukin-33, produce large amounts of interleukin-5 and interleukin-13 as well. The role of viral reactivation in DRESS is not completely understood, but proposed mechanisms include enhanced drug hapten presentation, direct tissue injury, and expansion of virus-specific T cells. Regulatory T cells, which function to hamper immune responses, may proliferate in the early phase of DRESS in response to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interleukin-10 and promote viral reactivation. In later phases of DRESS, regulatory T cells exposed to inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 may develop a type 17 helper T cell (Th17) phenotype. Some authors have postulated that the proliferation of Th17 cells in the later stages of DRESS could partly explain the risk of autoimmune sequelae after resolution of DRESS. CMV denotes cytomegalovirus, EBV Epstein–Barr virus, and HHV human herpes virus.

This dermatologist has 1.8 million followers on TikTok. I suspect most dermatologists know the evidence doesn't support taking 2.5 mg biotin a day, or hypochlorous acid for acne... but this kind of thing is now the public face of dermatology 🙃 #dermsky

Greasy hair? Blow dry >> air dry you're welcome

Hypochlorous acid (for) stinky pits, back acne, butt acne, boils
