Cases

Special Circumstances

Common Questions

10

Key Features of Atopic Dermatitis

• Pruritus

• Comes and goes

• Early age onset

• Characteristic locations

11

Atopic Dermatitis Background

● Prevalence increasing with 15-29% children

affected

● Onset usually at 3-6 months of age; 90% develop

before age 5 years

● 1st manifestation of the “atopic march”

● Genetic and environmental factors

12

Case Scenario One

Collecting the Patient’s History

14

HistoryHPI:

● Onset

● Location

● Symptoms (itching/sleeping problems)

● Bathing Habits

o Frequency

o Duration

o Water temperature

o Soap

● Moisturizing

● Treatments tried

PMH: skin infections, seasonal allergies, asthma, food

allergies

FH: atopy

ROS: growing/feeding well, diarrhea, bloody stools

15

Case Scenario 2

6 year old with

history of

intermittent, itchy

rash that began

around age 6

months. It is worse

in the winter.

She bathes once

daily for 20 minutes

with Johnson and

Johnson's cleanser

and moisturizes with

baby lotion.

16

Physical Examination

● General: well-appearing,

appropriate size-for-age, non-

dysmorphic

● Full skin examination

● Rough, red

(hyperpigmented), plaques

● Classic distribution (varies

by age)

● Evidence of infection

(pustules, abscesses,

impetiginized areas, punched

out areas)

Pictures are placeholders for correct

imagery

17

Distribution of AD by Age

Infant

(birth-2 years)

Face (cheeks),

scalp, ears

Extensor

extremities

Seborrheic

dermatitis

overlap

Childhood

(2 years-puberty)

Face (cheeks)

Flexural extremities

Teenager-Adult

Localized flexural

extremities

Hands, dorsum feet

18

Physical Examination: Other Considerations

● Classic features/location-confirmation

● Evidence of infection

● Distribution that affects my management-topical strength (skin

thickness/site)

● Clues to exacerbators- airborne allergens, irritants (saliva, wet wipes)

19

Case Scenario 3A 16 year-old with known atopic dermatitis presents with worsening skin

lesions in the popliteal fossae. He feels well but the areas are itchy and sore.

What would be your treatment plan?

20

Atopic Dermatitis Treatment: Pathogenesis-Directed

● Primary problem in AD is an impaired skin barrier (e.g., filaggrin mutations)

o Water escapes the skin (dryness)

o Irritants, allergens and microbes easily enter the skin (inflammation-redness,

itchiness, serous drainage or impetiginization)

● Immune system “sees” more and reacts more

If the skin isn’t hydrated it isn’t able to block irritants and microbes

from “slipping through the cracks” and causing an infection.

21

Treatment

2 Steps to Treat Effectively: Resolve existent inflammation (acute

flare) AND reinforce the skin barrier (maintenance)

1 2

22

Skin Care

Bathe 5-10 minutes with warm, NOT hot, water once every other day

Sensitive skin soaps: Dove sensitive skin bar soap, Cetaphil cleanser, Vanicream soap

Moisturize twice daily every day Ointments: Hydrolatum, Vaseline, Aquaphor Creams: CeraVe cream, Cetaphil cream, Aveeno cream, Eucerin

cream, Vanicream

*do not use lotions as they are minimally effective (too thin) *avoid “organic” products or ones containing fragrance, plant derivatives

(calendula, cocamidylpropyl betaine)

23

Treating the Inflammation

Topical steroids 1st line

*Systemic corticosteroids are not indicated

For itch: sedating antihistamines: diphenhydramine or

hydroxyzine po (0.5-2mg/kg/dose)

24

Topical Steroids

Low Potency Cost / all are covered by

insurance and all are generic

Hydrocortisone 2.5% ointment $5.00 - $20.00

Desonide 0.05% ointment $13.00 -$25.00

Triamcinolone 0.025% ointment $4.00

25

Topical Steroids

Very High-Potency: (if needed, consider derm eval)clobetasol, halobetasol, desoximetasone

Mid-Potency Cost / Coverage

FluocinoLONE 0.025% ointment $20 - $40 has a generic and brand

version and is covered by

insurance

Triamcinolone 0.1% ointment $4.00 Is generic and is covered by

insurance

High-Potency Cost / Coverage

Mometasone 0.1% ointment $6-$20 may be covered by

insurance

FluocinoNIDE 0.025% ointment may be covered by insurance

26

Topical Steroid (Contd.)

Use ointments; don't burn and are more potent

Most are twice daily; use for 2-3 weeks during flares (stop treating once skin is completely smooth, flat, not red and not itchy)

If clearance doesn't happen, may need a higher potency topical steroid

Lower potency for thin-skinned areas (face, axillae, groin) and thin plaques

Higher potency for rest of skin, lichenified or thicker plaques

Try to use “less than half the days of the month”

27

Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors

● Thin-skinned areas, periocular disease

● Maintenance therapy

● Safety data does not suggest any malignancy risk

● Prior authorization may be required

● Tend to be costly and not all are generic

28

Eucrisa (Crisaborole 2%) Ointment

•FDA Approval December 2016

•PDE-4 inhibitor

•Ages 2+ mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis

•Side effects: hypersensitivity, stinging/burning/pain

•1522 participants from 2-79 years

•Clear/almost clear: 32.8% vs. 25.4% (placebo); 31% vs. 18% (placebo)

•Utility-yet to be determined

29

Complications

Infections

Bacterial

● Perform a bacterial culture for identification and sensitivities

● Cephalexin po or clindamycin po

● Bleach baths 2-3 times per week for maintenance (also helps with

Inflammation)

Herpes Simplex Virus

Coxsackie Virus

Molluscum

Eczema herpeticum requires emergent dermatologic treatment

WebEx Questions

• You will get the first 4 questions of each case. They are multiple choice and most are yes or no. You will have a total of 30 seconds to answer the 4 questions on each case. Once you have submitted your answers, the speaker will go over the right answers and see how the group did.

• If you don't have the question feature you can write your answers in the chat box or listen along.

• If you have technical issues during this portion, email the course directors after the course.

Common Questions

How can I tell the difference between atopic dermatitis and

psoriasis?

But I've seen the diaper area involved in children with

atopic dermatitis. What is going on?

Is it safe to use topical steroids on eczema that looks

infected?

When should I test for food allergies?

Should I be worried about systemic absorption of topical

steroids? What about the side effects?
