CLINICAL FEATURES

What is the clinical features of APD?
Round, umbilicated, skin-colored, erythematous or
hyperpigmented papules & nodules with a central crust/keratotic plug on the extensor sides of limbs & trunk (APC, KD) > face, scalp (sparing mucosa)
What is the special distributions of APD?
Linear distribution & follicular-based distribution(perforating folliculitis)
Why does the APD lesions arise in a line?  
It is caused by scratching & koebnerization (it might have pain and pruritus)
What is the clinical features of EPS?
1.          It may be familial (AD inheritance) or acquired
2.          Crusted erythematous papules with central atrophy/cribriform scarring & a serpiginous configuration
3.          Localized to 1 region: neck, trunk, or limbs
4.          Asymptomatic, Koebner (+) occationally
5.          F>M (>4:1)
What is the most common cause of acquired EPS(AEPS)?
D-penicillamine which is taken for Wilson disease & other diseases, (rare)chronic kidney disease.
What is the clinical features of reactive perforating collagenosis (NOT APC)?
1.          An extremely rare familial disorder
2.          Most commonly presents in early childhood
3.          F=M(1:1), as other APDs
4.          AD or AR inheritance
5.          Looks like other APDs, localized to limbs>> face
6.          The strongest koebnerization response
What are the associations  of adult-onset nonfamilial /acquired primary lesions?
1.          Chronic kidney disease (undergoing dialysis & renal transplants)
2.          Diabetes mellitus (diabetic nephropathy)
3.          The healthy with no known associated illnesses
What disease is most similar to APD?
Prurigo nodularis
How about the relationship between APD & associated diseases?
Parallels systemic diseases: KD, APC
Waxing-&-waning course, unassociated with systemic diseases: perforating folliculitis

What drug may be associated with APD?
TNF-α inhibitors, indinavir, & sorafenib.
What inborn diseases may be associated with APD?
Down syn. & Ehlers-Danlos syn., Marfan syn., osteogenesis imperfecta, scleroderma, & pseudoxanthoma elasticum (MED SOP醫療SOP)
What is the ranking of age of onset?
KD/APD(4th decade)>perforating folliculitis(3rd decade)> AEPS(3rd decade)
Where is the site of perforating folliculitis?
Hair-bearing portions of extremities.
Where is the site of KD/APC?
Extensor of limbs, head, neck, & trunk
Where is the site of AEPS?
Nape, face, & limbs
What is the clinical findings of AEPS?
Papules in serpiginous configuration + central atrophy
What is the associations of KD/APC?
Renal failure/hemodialysis, DM, & hepatic insufficiency (腎糖肝)
What is the associations of perforating folliculititis?
Idiopathic, minor with renal failure/hemodialysis(腎糖)
What is the associations of AEPS?
Down syn., Ehlers-Danlos syn., oestogenesis imperfecta, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, minor with renal failure (MED SOP不含M&S)
What type of APDs has Koebner phenomenon?
KD/APC, AEPS(occasionally)
ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS

What is the relationship of perforating folliculitis, APD, & KD?
They are in a disease spectrum or different stages in lesional development(folliculitis→APD→KD ).
What might be the primary disorder of perforating folliculitis?
Infectious folliculitis, such as Pityrosporum folliculitis.
What is the most important mechanism of APD?
Pruritus → manipulation/trauma
What is the role of DM in the mechanism of APD? (3)
1.          DM→advanced glycation end product →vasculopathy/angiopathy
2.          DM→advanced glycation end product–modified collagens I & III binds CD36→ keratinocyte terminal differentiation & upward movement of keratinocytes along with glycated collagen
3.          DM→Fibronectin→keratinocytes acts with collagen IV
What are the other mechanisms of APD? 
1.          Dialysis→dermal microdeposition (calcium salts, silicon)
2.          Vitamin A deficiency.
3.          Uremia→fibronectin→keratinocytes acts with collagen IV
4.          Imbalances in TGF-β3, MMP-1, & tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) →disturbance of matrix.
What is the possible mechanisms of EPS
1.          elastin receptors(both familial & acquired)
2.          Penicillamine→“bramble bush–appearing”  elastic fibers
DIAGNOSIS

HISTOPATHOLOGY

What are the pathological features of APD?
Epidermis: follicular/perifollicular, transepidermal elimination of dermal material through an epidermal invagination + central keratotic plug + crusting or hyperkeratosis.
Dermis: Nφ→ lymphcytes, Mφ, multinucleated giant cells
What is the pathological difference between APDs?  
APC: collagen bundles in the plug
Perforating folliculitis: “follicular APC”
AEPS: elastic fibers in the plug
KD: amorphous dermal material + fibrin &/or keratin in the plug(表皮與滲出物較多)
Clear identification is impossible; there is overlap.
LABORATORY TESTS

What laboratory evaluations should be checked?
DM: fasting blood glucose; glucose tolerance test;
CKD: serum creatinine; glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance
Hepatic insufficiency: liver function tests
Serum uric acid & thyroid function tests.(有些病人的病灶中有尿酸結晶;甲狀腺亢進會癢)

3.          Irritant or allergic contact dermatitis.
4.          Darker-skinned: postinflammatory pigmentary alteration & scarring

  2. 您好,首先謝謝你的回應。

    其實我是香港人居於香港,過去二十多年都服這個皮膚病所困擾,於香港都嘗試經不同醫生作冶療,但效果不理想,什至數年前醫生們經過討論亦說不能完全痊癒,只能作控制。

    而近日於網上翻查下,發現閣下之文章,得悉台灣在這方面的治療效果是不錯,故 很希望日後能抽空到台灣作治療,其實這治療過程是否漫長和複雜?

    十分感謝您的回應。

    1. 穿透性皮膚病如果涉及一些內科疾病就會比較難治療,有些治療項目例如紫外光(NBUVB)也需要每周二到三次,連續使用一段時間。畢竟醫療有很重的屬地主義,臺灣與香港雖然距離不遠,終究還是要搭飛機往返。過去我幫香港朋友治療這類慢性疾病的方式比較像是提供治療方向,輔導他在香港當地找到合法可行的治療方法,或是首次看診後,之後由臺灣的親友代理領藥。
      希望能幫助到閣下。

    2. Dr. Cheng,
      萬分感謝你能抽空回應,待疫情過後,我會來台灣一趟,向你就醫。

      感謝感謝

  4. A person can use different Natural Remedies for Granuloma Annulare to obtain help from this problem. main organ of the body, the skin is susceptible to a quantity of different condition and matters. One such condition is granuloma annulare. Natural Treatment for Granuloma Annulare holds similarly external and internal applications, related to apple cider vinegar.

  5. Although therapy has become more tolerable and once daily FDC tables have made it easier to adhere to prescribed treatment, it still requires that patients take their medication regularly to achieve sustained viral suppression. When treatment adherence is inadequate and replication is therefore not suppressed, But dr itua promised and fulfilled his promised to me as he said I will share his work to people that are suffering from Infertility, Herpes,Cervical Cancer,Bone Cancer,Brain Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Leukemia,Brain Tumor,Breast Cancer,Blood Cancer,Kidney Cancer,, Hepatitis A/B, Fibroid, HIV/ Aids, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Copd, Diabetes, Liver/Kidney Inflamotry,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,HPV,
    Dementia. Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, I have read a lot of testimony online from Jesus McKinney,Achima Abelard and Tara Omar on how dr itua heal them with his herbal medicine I contacted him on Email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com. then we talk on whatsapp +2348149277967 he gave me instruction on how to drink it for two weeks then after drinking it for two weeks I went for test then I find out I was cured of HIV & HPV, I thank him allot i also send him some money for appreciation, Contact this great herbal doctor if you are a sick person.
