Distinguishment of benign versus malignant changes may be difficult, especially when there is concern for malignancy and in cases of nonspecific clinical presentation. The current case illustrates a common cause of yellowish-tan papules and plaques. This case also highlights clinical methods to distinguish this condition from similarly appearing presentations, as recognition and appropriate treatment of this condition using noninvasive techniques may prevent further invasive workup.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135588531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LM can be confused with other dermatologic conditions such as pigmented actinic keratosis, solar lentigo, and seborrheic keratosis. Therefore, clinicians should know the various clinical features that can distinguish LM from other differential diagnoses. Although multiple treatment modalities exist for LM, surgical excision remains the gold standard for the treatment of LM and results in an excellent prognosis for treated patients. This article discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of LM so that dermatology nurses are better prepared to care for patients with LM.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135472531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structured databases such as registries are required to continuously collect standard data about patients with the same disease. Objectives This study aimed to design and implement a vitiligo registry and evaluate its usability in Iran. Methodology This research was conducted in four stages: determining the minimum data set required for the registry, creating a conceptual model using unified modeling language diagrams and Sparx Enterprise Architect software, implementing the registry in the PhpStorm programming environment, and evaluating the software usability based on the responses of 17 end users to a questionnaire. Results The required data items, consisting of 127 items in eight categories, were approved by the experts and used to design the vitiligo registry. Then, the software was designed and implemented. In the assessment stage, the software received a 89.5% approval rate from its users. Conclusion Developing a vitiligo registry with high usability as well as making decisions based on the registry data can improve understanding of the disease and facilitate research in this field. As a result, high-quality services could be provided to patients nationwide.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":"18 1","pages":"196 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79230218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
