Females had a higher frequency of benign tumors, whereas males represented a higher rate of malignant tumors. About 53%, 6.8%, and 40.1% of skin lesions were benign, premalignant, and malignant tumors, respectively. Among detected tumors, seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, and basal cell carcinoma were the most prevalent as benign, premalignant, and malignant tumors, respectively.

It is a beneficial screening tool for high-risk patients to have a history of melanoma or dysplastic nevi. According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma cases are increasing each year. Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers in the United States and is the fifth most common cancer cause in both men and women. Prompt diagnosis is critical to reducing the morbidity and mortality caused by melanoma. Survival outcomes worsen with increasing tumor thickness, and thicker melanomas require more invasive and intensive treatment. However, if detected early, the 10-year survival rate of patients with thin melanomas is almost 98%, compared with as low as 48% in thick melanomas. Three-dimensional total body photography along with education provided by dermatology nurses on how this system aids in the identification of new and changing nevi is vital in the prevention of melanoma. As a Dermatology nurse, one of the most crucial roles is educating patients with evidence-based knowledge. This includes following a distinct schedule of follow up appointments to monitor moles, using sunscreen, avoiding excessive sun exposure, encouraging self-skin examinations, and ensuring patients maintain their follow-up appointments. These measures can help to prevent Melanoma.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140277947","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}

Mollusca are characterized by a firm, dome-shaped, flesh-colored, pearly papule with a white, umbilicated center. Generally, lesions occur in clusters and range in size from 1 to 5 millimeters. Although unusual and infrequent, MC occurring in an epidermal inclusion cyst has been reported.\u0000 This case involves an 83-year-old woman with a flesh-colored, slightly tender papule on the right lower vermillion border, which had been enlarging over several months. Histopathology showed prominent molluscum bodies present in the adjacent epidermis and focally lining the central epidermal cyst.\u0000 The findings observed in this case support the hypothesized pathophysiological co-inoculation theory for the development of molluscum-infected epidermal inclusion cysts. This is clinically significant given the infectivity of cyst contents and the potential for direct inoculation of the cyst. Given its rarity, treatment protocols for epidermal inclusion cysts containing MC have not been established. However, management requires care to avoid viral transmission.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140275533","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}

This review will focus primarily on vulvar LS. Although LS can affect men and prepubescent patients, LS has a much higher incidence in women over the age of 30 years. When correctly diagnosed and treated in its earlier stages, LS, although still chronic, is manageable with the appropriate protocol. When left untreated or poorly managed, LS can progress to its later “atrophic” stages and cause severe lichenification, atrophy, and destructive scarring, resulting in the loss of normal anatomic landmarks and function of the genitals. In addition, both men and women with genital LS have an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma in the affected skin. In women, 65% of genital squamous cell carcinomas arise from a preexisting lesion from LS. This can negatively affect a patient's sleep and physical, mental, and social/emotional health. Increased awareness of the presentation and symptoms, in both providers and patients, of LS et atrophicus encourages earlier treatment and management while preventing long-term, irreversible physical, mental, and emotional damage.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140278038","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}
