PRESENTATION OUTLINE

1.

ATHLETES FOOT

  • Infection of the feet caused by fungus
2.

BOILS AND CARBUNCLES

  • pus-filled bumps that form under your skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more of your hair follicles
3.

COLD SORES

  • Cold sores, which are small and somewhat painful blisters
4.

DERMATITIS

  • Inflammation of the skin
5.

IMPETIGO

  • Highly contagious skin infection that mainly affects infants and children
6.

PSORIASIS

  • common skin condition that changes the life cycle of skin cells
7.

1ST DEGREE BURNS

  • injury that affects the first layer of your skin. First-degree burns are one of the mildest forms of skin injuries.
  • Doesnt require medical treatment
8.

2ND DEGREE BURNS

  • More serious because the damage extends beyond the top layer of skin
  • This type of extensive damage causes the skin to blister, become extremely red and sore
9.

3RD DEGREE BURNS

  • They cause the most damage, extending through every layer of skin.
  • The damage can even reach the bloodstream, major organs, and bones, can lead to death.
10.

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

  • How do you get it: sun exposure or tanning bed
  • You can get it at a younger age if you're exposed to a lot of sun
  • What is it: malignant tumor of the basal cell layer of the epidermis
  • Usually grows very slowly and often doesn't show up for many years
11.

CONT.

  • What it does: moles sit on the skin and overtime they can raise change color, or
  • get bigger.
  • Only in exceedingly rare cases can spread to other parts of the body
12.

SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

  • How you get it: prolonged exposure to UV radiation
  • What is it: malignant tumor in the squamous epithelial cells in the epidermis
  • Form of skin cancer that develops in the thin, flat squamous cells
13.

CONT.

  • What it does: it can grow large and cause serious complications
  • When the DNA that controls the cells' growth is damaged, it causes an overgrowth and buildup of skin cells
14.

MALIGNANT MELANOMA

  • How you get it: Family history of melanoma or skin cancer
  • Family history of irregular, prominent moles
  • What is it: neoplasm of melanocytes or a neoplasm of the cells that develop from melanocytes
  • Although it was once considered uncommon, it has increased dramatically over the decades
15.

CONT.

  • What it does:It develops in the cells that give the skin its color and has a very high tendency to spread
  • The cure rates depend greatly on the stage of melanoma by the time of detection
16.

THE ABCD RULES

  • What is it A- Asymmetry
  • B- Borders
  • C- Color
  • D- Diameter
17.

CONT.

  • If it is bigger than 1/4 go get it checked out
