Common causes of ingrown toenails include wearing shoes that are too tight, cutting toenails too short or not straight across, and toe injuries. To prevent ingrown toenails, toenails should be trimmed straight across with no rounded corners and extend past the skin, and shoes and socks should fit properly and feet should be kept clean. An ingrown toenail grows into the skin at the nail borders, causing pain, redness, and possible infection if the skin is broken.

Management of ingrown toe nails
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Paronychia
This document discusses different conditions affecting the nails including paronychia, acute paronychia, chronic paronychia, and subungual hematoma. It describes the anatomy of the nail including the nail plate, matrix, lunula, cuticle, and nail bed. Acute paronychia is usually caused by minor nail injuries allowing bacterial infection, while chronic paronychia is often due to Candida infection. Treatment involves draining pus or blood and using antibiotics or antifungals. Subungual hematoma causes intense pain due to blood collecting under the nail requiring drainage through cautery or needle.
3. Cellulitis
This document discusses cellulitis, a spreading skin infection caused by bacteria. It describes the typical symptoms of cellulitis like redness, swelling and pain. Common causes include injuries, diabetes, and low immunity. The document outlines treatments like antibiotics and rest. It also discusses other common skin conditions like itching, pain, discoloration, numbness and increased sensitivity. Prevention through education is mentioned.
Epidermoid Cyst
This document describes epidermoid cysts, which are the most common orbital neoplasms in children. They result from ectodermal tissue becoming embedded in bone sutures during development. Epidermoid cysts typically appear as soft, slowly enlarging masses near the superotemporal orbital margin. While usually painless, they can cause cosmetic issues or symptoms like proptosis and diplopia if large or located internally. The document then reports a case study of a 5-year-old girl with an epidermoid cyst that was surgically excised. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst.
Haemangioma
This document summarizes hemangiomas, abnormal growths of blood vessels that can occur in the skin or internal organs. It defines hemangiomas and describes their etiology as usually congenital. The document outlines the types of hemangiomas and their typical clinical features such as color, size, texture. It discusses diagnostic methods like ultrasound, CT and MRI. The summary also covers potential complications like bleeding or infection. Finally, it lists several management approaches that may be used such as self-regression, laser surgery, or corticosteroids.
Carbuncle
Carbuncle is a skin infection caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. It results in a painful, swollen lump under the skin that may contain pus and can develop in hairy areas. Carbuncles occur when hair follicles are infected by bacteria and involve a group of follicles. They are diagnosed through visual examination and sometimes tested fluid or blood samples. Treatment involves antibiotics, draining the carbuncle, and home remedies like warm compresses and cleaning with antibacterial soap.
sebaceous cyst
Sebaceous cysts are caused by blockage of the duct of the sebaceous gland, causing the gland to become distended by its own secretion of sebum. Clinically, sebaceous cysts present as movable, non-tender swellings under the skin, often with a visible punctum or opening. They are diagnosed through examination finding fluctuation and transillumination negativity. Treatment involves surgical removal by incising the cyst and expressing its contents. Complications can arise if the cyst becomes infected or ruptured.
Dermoid cyst
Dermoid cysts are cysts lined with squamous epithelium that contain skin adnexa such as sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. There are several types of dermoid cysts including congenital dermoid cysts that form along embryonic fusion lines and can cause bony defects, implantation dermoid cysts that form after skin implantation injuries, and teratomatous dermoid cysts containing tissues from all germ layers. Dermoid cysts typically present as slow-growing, painless swellings and are diagnosed based on location and imaging findings showing cystic masses sometimes eroding adjacent bone. Excision is the treatment.

VARICOSE ULCERS
A varicose ulcer is a painful lesion that develops on the skin of the legs when underlying veins are unable to efficiently pump blood due to malfunctioning venous valves. This causes blood to pool in the legs. Risk factors include immobility, obesity, varicose veins, and age. Treatment involves cleaning and dressing the wound along with compression bandages to control blood pressure in the legs. Larger ulcers may take longer to heal but 70% of small ulcers will heal within 12 weeks of starting treatment.
Thyroglossal duct cyst
A thyroglossal duct cyst is a neck mass that develops from leftover tissue from when the thyroid gland forms during embryonic development. It is most common in preschool-aged children and adolescents. Diagnostic tests include physical examination, ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration to evaluate the mass and rule out thyroid abnormalities. Treatment involves antibiotics if infected or surgical removal (Sistrunk procedure) of the entire cyst and tract to prevent recurrence, which is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Complications can include infection or rare chance of malignancy.
Lipoma
Lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor arising from yellow fat deposits. It presents as a mobile, lobular mass that is non-tender and has a characteristic "slip sign" where the mass can slip between the examiner's fingers. Lipomas most commonly occur as encapsulated soft tissue masses but can also be found in various locations throughout the body. While lipomas are generally benign and can be excised, certain histological subtypes or locations carry a higher risk of malignant transformation.
TESTICLULAR TORSION
Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists, reducing blood flow to the testicle. There are two main types - intravaginal torsion which is more common and often seen at puberty due to a "bell-clapper" deformity, and extravaginal torsion which occurs in newborns without this deformity. Risk factors include a history of cryptorchidism or an abnormally long spermatic cord. Physical exam may reveal an elevated, tender testicle with absent cremasteric reflex. Ultrasound can show reduced blood flow, but surgery should not be delayed for imaging. Manual detorsion can be attempted in some cases but all patients require surgical exploration to detorse
Pustular lesions
A carbuncle is a cluster of boils caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection entering hair follicles. It presents as a swollen, painful lump with pus-filled openings on the back of the neck, shoulders, or thighs. Carbuncles are deeper infections than single boils (furuncles) and can cause fever and general illness. Treatment involves antibiotics, incision and drainage of large lesions, and preventing further contamination. Complications may include sepsis if bacteria spread through the bloodstream. Noma (cancrum oris) is a rapidly progressing gangrenous infection of the mouth affecting malnourished children in developing countries. It is caused by a combination of malnutrition, poor
Tuberculous cervical lymphadinitis
Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the cervical lymph nodes, usually through the tonsils. Clinically, it presents with fever, cough, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Left untreated, the infection can progress from a non-tender cold abscess to a collar stud abscess under the skin that ruptures, forming draining sinus tracts. Diagnosis involves aspiration or biopsy of lesions for staining, culture and cytology. Treatment consists of a 6-9 month course of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Aspiration or incision and drainage may be used for abscesses. Surgery is indicated for drug-resistant cases or persistent sinuses.
Leg ulcers
This document discusses different types of leg ulcers including venous, arterial, diabetic neuropathic, and hypertensive ulcers. It provides information on:
1. The causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, investigations and management for each type of ulcer.
2. Venous ulcers are the most common type, caused by venous insufficiency and reflux, and are typically treated with compression therapy and dressings.
3. Arterial ulcers are caused by peripheral arterial disease and present with dry necrotic wounds, often over bony prominences of the feet. Revascularization may be required for healing.
4. Diabetic and neuropathic ulcers occur due to loss of sensation from
Lipomas
This document discusses lipomas, which are benign soft tissue tumors composed of adipose tissue enclosed in connective tissue. It covers the epidemiology, causes, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, complications and treatment of lipomas. Lipomas most commonly occur in adults aged 40-60 and can be removed surgically, usually via simple excision, for cosmetic reasons or if the diagnosis is uncertain. While generally benign, liposarcomas can rarely develop with similar clinical features and require complete excision and histological examination.
Cellulitis - Treatment
This document defines and compares cellulitis and erysipelas, two types of skin infections caused by bacteria entering through breaks in the skin. Cellulitis affects deeper skin layers and fat, while erysipelas is more superficial. Diagnosis is clinical based on symptoms of redness, swelling and warmth. Treatment involves antibiotics, either orally or intravenously depending on severity. Factors like fever, rapid progression and underlying health issues determine need for intravenous antibiotics. Incision and drainage is sufficient for small skin abscesses without systemic involvement.
Non specific ulcers
This document provides an overview of various types of non-specific ulcers, including their causes, characteristics, and treatments. It discusses ulcers caused by trauma, arterial issues, venous issues, pressure, infection, tropical conditions, frostbite, hypertension, diabetes, mycobacteria, cancer, and more. For most ulcer types, it outlines key features like location, appearance, complications, investigations needed, and management approaches involving wound care, antibiotics, surgery, or other therapies.
Erythroderma
This document provides an overview of erythroderma, also known as generalized exfoliative dermatitis. It defines erythroderma as an inflammatory dermatosis involving 90% or more of the skin surface. The clinical presentation includes patchy erythema becoming universal over 24-48 hours accompanied by malaise, shivering and pyrexia, followed by scaling after 2-6 days. Erythroderma can be caused by conditions like eczema, psoriasis, malignancy, and drug reactions. Complications can include edema, lymphadenopathy, cardiac failure, metabolic disturbance, hypothermia, and cutaneous or respiratory infection. Management involves close inpatient monitoring and initially topical st
Venous ulcer:A pedal misery!
Venous ulcer is one of the commonest complication of varicose veins. It may also occur in a condition called post phlebitic limb which is a sequelae to acute deep vein thronbosis. Hurry in surgical treatment of this condition before the ulcer heals could lead to a failure. Good conservative treatment for healing of the ulcer followed by surgical intervention gives the best results.
Folliculitis,boil( Furuncle), carbuncle
Folliculitis is an infection and inflammation of one or more hair follicles that can occur anywhere on the skin except the palms and soles. It has infectious causes like Staphylococcus aureus and non-infectious causes such as chemicals or mechanical irritation. Treatment depends on the cause and severity but includes topical or oral antibiotics. Boils are infections of a single hair follicle by S. aureus that appear as painful swellings, while carbuncles are larger aggregations of interconnected boils involving deeper tissue. Both require incision, drainage and systemic antibiotics.

MANAGEMENT OF INGROWN TOE NAIL.pptx
The document discusses the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of ingrown toenails. It begins by defining ingrown toenails as a common condition where the nail edge grows into the skin, causing pain. Risk factors include poorly fitting shoes and improperly trimmed nails. Symptoms progress from pain to infection if left untreated. Diagnosis is usually clinical. Treatment ranges from conservative approaches like soaking the toe and splinting the nail, to surgical techniques like partial nail removal or chemical ablation of the nail matrix. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Diabetic foot + gangrene
Diabetic foot complications are a major source of morbidity and health care costs. They result from a complex interplay of ischemia, ulceration, infection, and Charcot's joint due to diabetes-related changes. Hyperglycemia leads to nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins and tissues, formation of advanced glycosylation end products, and accelerated atherosclerosis. This causes peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and foot deformities which impair sensation and blood flow, making the feet susceptible to infection, ulceration, and gangrene. Charcot's joint is a destructive foot arthropathy caused by loss of sensation from diabetic neuropathy.

Levels of cervical lymph nodes and patterns of neck metastasis are also outlined.
Discuss keloid and hypertrophic scars
This document discusses keloids and hypertrophic scars. It begins by defining each condition and providing an introduction. It then covers risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, management, prevention, complications, prognosis, and local experience. Keloids extend beyond the original wound site, while hypertrophic scars do not but are still raised and thickened. Risk factors include skin injury, genetics, and skin pigmentation. Management involves a variety of options depending on the case, often combining excision, steroid injection, and pressure therapy. Recurrence is a challenge, and further research is still needed for effective keloid treatment.
Dermoid cyst
This document discusses dermoid cysts and abscesses. It defines a dermoid cyst as a cavity lined by epithelium that contains desquamated cells, sebum, and hair follicles, often forming along embryonic fusion lines. It describes various types of dermoid cysts including sequestration, tubular, implantation, and teratomatous. It then defines an abscess as a collection of pus and describes the main types as pyogenic, pyemic, metastatic, and cold abscesses. The document outlines pathogenesis, clinical features, investigations, and management of dermoid cysts and abscesses.
Serving our community does the bme sector provide the best support
The document discusses whether Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) sector services provide the best support for BME service users. It notes that being black can be both the most important and unimportant thing when delivering support. The BME sector aims to improve experiences through cultural competence, sensitivity, and involvement of users. However, the document questions if the BME sector is still needed as the NHS incorporates these principles of diversity and inclusion. It urges the BME sector to clarify models of intervention, collect evidence on health outcomes and economic impacts, and focus on skills for working with similarities not just differences.
Achieving outcomes for bme vulnerable people
The document outlines a nonprofit organization called Ujima's plan to achieve positive outcomes for vulnerable Black and minority ethnic people in several areas: economic wellbeing, education and achievement, health, safety, and community contribution. Ujima plans interventions like job training programs, partnerships with schools, health initiatives, and community engagement programs. It also discusses metrics for evaluating their success in customer satisfaction, financial performance, business expansion, and staff development as they work to deliver these improved outcomes. The overall goal is to address issues like unemployment, poverty, and social exclusion facing these communities.

Bhm franz fanon
Frantz Fanon was a French-Martiniquan psychiatrist and philosopher born in 1925. He believed that colonialism and imperialism caused psychological issues in colonized peoples by dehumanizing their cultures. He argued that the only way to overcome this oppression was through revolution and cultural reclamation. Fanon's works were influential in post-colonial theory and he emphasized the need for former colonies to free themselves mentally and culturally from their colonizers. He is still seen as an important figure in anti-colonial thought and his legacy includes the connection between oppression and mental health as well as the importance of liberation movements.

Plantar warts
Plantar warts are hard warts that develop on the sole of the foot, caused by HPV strains 1 and 2. These strains enter through small cuts or abrasions and thrive in warm, moist environments like the sole of the foot. Plantar warts grow deep inside the skin, are initially painful with black pinpoints, and have a rough, scaly texture. While they can sometimes be mistaken for corns or calluses, plantar warts are highly contagious and spread through direct contact with the virus. Treatment options include surgery, cryotherapy, chemicals, electricity, or laser therapy but they may also go away without treatment if not too painful.

This document summarizes data on women's political participation and economic status in North Dakota. It finds that women are underrepresented in political offices, holding only 17% of state legislative seats, and have lower earnings and higher poverty rates than men. Specifically, women in North Dakota earn about 74 cents for every dollar men earn. The document advocates for policies like expanding childcare subsidies and access to preschool and job training to help address these disparities faced by women in the state.
Hammer toe
Hammer toe is caused by tight shoes that force the toe into a flexed position, shortening the muscles and tendons. It most commonly affects the second toe, causing it to rotate downward into a claw-like position. Mild cases in children can be treated with foot manipulation and splinting, while wearing properly fitting shoes can help prevent worsening. For more severe cases, podiatrists may recommend straightening devices, exercises, or surgery to straighten the joint.
Bicep tendonitis
Bicep tendonitis causes pain in the front of the shoulder that worsens with arm movement, especially when reaching over the shoulder or extending the arm. Touching the front of the shoulder can also cause pain. The pain is exacerbated at night or in the morning. Prevention involves warming up, stretching, and gradually increasing exercise intensity while stopping at the first sign of discomfort. Treatments include ice, anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid injections, and physical therapy exercises. Recovery time depends on the individual and pursuing treatment early can aid a faster recovery.

Nail problems can provide insight into overall health issues. Ingrown toenails occur when the sides or corners of toenails dig into skin and can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Fungal nail infections are common and occur under the nail, causing discoloration and thickening over time. Both conditions are best evaluated and treated by a podiatrist, who can properly diagnose and prescribe topical medications, oral medications, or procedures to remove infected nail material or permanently prevent further ingrown nails. Self-treatment is not recommended and can worsen infections.

Symptoms include itching, burning, dry skin, scaling, inflammation and blisters. The infection is transmitted through direct contact with infected skin or indirectly through contact with contaminated surfaces. Prevention involves keeping feet dry, changing socks daily, and using antifungal medications or topical treatments.

Ingrown toenails
- 2. Common causes include: Wearing shoes that crowd your toenails Cutting your toenails too short or not straight across Injury to your toenail Unusually curved toenails
- 3. You can lower your risk of developing an ingrown toenail by trimming your toenails straight across with no rounded corners. The length of your toenail should extend out past your skin. The top of each nail should form a straight line across, level with the top of your toe. Some additional guidelines for preventing ingrown toenails include: Don't pick at your toenails or tear them off. Make sure your shoes and socks are not too tight. Keep your feet clean at all times. Pag e 3
- 4. When a toenail is ingrown, it is curved and grows into the skin, usually at the nail borders (the sides of the nail). This “digging in” of the nail irritates the skin, often creating pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the toe. If an ingrown nail causes a break in the skin, bacteria may enter and cause an infection in the area, which is often marked by drainage and a foul odor. However, even if the toe isn’t painful, red, swollen, or warm, a nail that curves downward into the skin can progress to an infection. Pag e 4
- 5. Sometimes initial treatment for ingrown toenails can be safely performed at home. However, home treatment is strongly discouraged if an infection is suspected, or for those who have medical conditions that put feet at high risk, such as diabetes, nerve damage in the foot, or poor circulation.
