Description Of Portfolio
The assignment for this unit requires the student to complete a portfolio of five case studies in relation to the common dermatological disorders discussed in the lectures. Each case study must cover the knowledge evidence listed below and explain the signs and symptoms/presentation (they may have more than one concern), how the integumentary system is affected, the causes and treatment plan for each.
Please note that this is a CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE assessment and you will be marked competent or not-yet-competent.
Assessment criteria guide
· Each case study should include:
· 400 word minimum-600 word maximum per case study
· Accurately use and articulate medical and/or paramedical terminology related to dermatology in a cosmetic medical context
· State the role of the doctor, cosmetic nurse and dermal therapist and how they would differ in providing dermatologic care to these patients
· Identify the structural components of the skin involved with each condition
· Explain the pathophysiology of the main dermatologic disorders identified
· Describe the clinical presentation of each of the main dermatologic disorders
· Describe the medical treatment (systemic and topical) for each of the main dermatologic disorders / conditions
· Identify if any of these conditions are caused by viral or bacterial infections and explain the difference
· Referencing style – APA format (in text and end text) required – minimum of 2 references per case study
· Please ensure you have satisfied all assessment criteria as well as answered the questions in the individual case studies.

Case Study 1 – Moses
· Moses is a 42-year-old Afro-Cari
ean gentleman. He attends your cosmetic medical clinic to seek treatment for his ingrown hair in his beard region. He has a friend who has had this problem treated with a laser and wants to know if this is a suitable option for him.
· As he moves his shirt collar you notice white patches of skin on his hands.
What might these conditions be and how can they be treated?
Answer
Physical Identification and Clinical Signs:
The developed ingrown hair and dark
own colour papules and pustules are visible in the area of infection around the anterior of the neck from thyroid prominence that is, near the Adam’s apple and extended to the chin. In the further examination, the patient has uneven and depigmented white patches.
Diagnosis according to Clinical signs:
The patient is suffering from Pseudofolliculitis Ba
ae (PFB). In this dermal condition, the person’s hair grows into the skin rather than growing outward. The patches on his hands are the sign of Vitiligo. This is an acquired pigmentation disorder, which is identified by the depigmented macules and white patches.
Clinical Presentation:
PFB is a disorder of follicular and peri-follicular skin that is characterized by the papules and pustules or the inflammatory skin outgrowth. It can be a chronic inflammatory disorder when not diagnosed on time and remains untreated. Shaving or removal of hair leads to the inflammation reaction and results by the perforation of the nea
y skin growing the pus filled tips. This gives way to infection with foreign particles as the skin is the primary or outer most layer of the body (Gupta, Gantyala, Kashyap & Tandon, 2016)
Pathophysiology of the dermatologic disorders identified:
The disorder results mainly because of the two types of penetration of the follicles known as transfolicular and extrafolicular. The transfolicular penetration happens when the hair growth is restricted to move upwards. This is the resulting form of pulling and plucking hair, shaving with several razors, in which the incomplete removal of hair make it grow inside the epidermis. In case of extrafolicular penetration, the shaved hair penetrates inside a cut area on the skin. Thus, a newly grown hair grows inside the epidermal layer is grown and eventually into the dermis, it starts the inflammation. The lesions are resulted due to the penetration of foreign particles or infection causing particles (Gupta, Gantyala, Kashyap & Tandon, 2016).
Treatment:
Appropriate grooming techniques can provide the solution to manage this problem. The patients with these lesions are advised to stop shaving for 3 to 4 weeks. This avoids the inflammation to spread further. However, it has also been seen when the beard is let to grow, a covering of epidermal layer will stop the hair from growing and it will stop automatically. The papules and pustules will disappear within a month when the hair is grown. It can also be treated with chemical depilatories, which has thioglycolate salts as they
eak the disulphide bonds of hair making it soft and
eakable.
Difference between the two disorders:
None of the diseases is due to viral or bacterial infection. Both the disorders have different source of initiation. PFB is inflammatory whereas Vitiligo is related to autoimmune i
egularity. The physical appearance also differs in both the cases.
Case Study 2 – Stephen
Stephen is a 34-year-old man who attends your clinical with red, flaky skin on his hands, elbows and scalp region. He states he has not spoken to his GP, he was just passing and thought you could help because it looks unsightly. He tells you, he is not sure if it is a flare up of eczema that he had as a child or if he now has psoriasis. What are these conditions and what are the differences between them.
Answer
Physical Identification and Clinical Signs:
The patient has red, flaky skin on his hands, elbows and scalp region. However, he has not complained about any significant pain in these regions. The affected skin is having small inflammations but no pigmentation related abnormality is visible at the sites.
Diagnosis according to Clinical signs:
The lesions are localised. Thus, it may indicate an allergic eczema. There is inflammation and no other signs are seen as per the case is concerned. The patient is also suspecting about psoriasis. However, no specific related signs are visible.
Clinical Presentation:
Eczema is a dermal condition where the patch of skin shows i
egular skin type with red patches, blistered, inflammations, itchy, peeling, cracked, or pus-filled and roughness. It is not generally covered...
