Objectives: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ef-ficacy and the tolerability of a moisturizing and lenitive cream in patients with xerotic eczema, moderate atopic dermatitis and xerotic skin. [iris.unimol.it]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
Severe asteatotic eczema can lead to more severe secondary dermatitis with generalised redness, localised swelling and surface blistering. [dermnetnz.org]
In general, eczema can affect the skin by causing: dark colored patches rough, scaly, or leathery patches swelling crusting and oozing Eczema is not contagious, which means that a person cannot catch it or pass it onto another person. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Symptoms such as non-retractibility of the foreskin, swelling and dysuria are the most frequent. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
Symptoms include: a sore, itchy and smelly penis redness and swelling build-up of thick fluid pain when peeing Some adults may also have a tight foreskin that won't pull back. This is a condition called phimosis. [nhs.uk]
Venous eczema, or stasis dermatitis, is most commonly seen in people over 50 with poor circulation, varicose veins and edema (swelling). It is characterized by redness, itching, and darkening of the skin. [canadianskin.ca]
- Candidiasis
Both obesity and inadequate glucose control, a precursor of diabetes, are associated with a higher rate of candidiasis or yeast infection. Candidiasis is one of the most common causes of balanoposthitis. [healthline.com]
Other conditions that belong in the differential include seborrhea, psoriasis, dermatophytosis, candidiasis, Bowen’s disease, and irritant/contact dermatitis. Biopsy is typically needed to confirm the diagnosis. [mdedge.com]
At this stage, it is often confused with candidiasis and poorly treated with anti-fungal [11,21]. Peri-anal involvement is extremely rare [22]. Rarely courses with glans atrophy [23]. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
Swabs are not required routinely but may be necessary in cases where there is erosive disease to exclude infection such as candidiasis or herpes simplex. [patient.info]
Skin
- Dry Skin
Risks factors for dry skin should be minimized as they interrupt the components of the outer layers of the skin. The disruption in the skin barrier can lead to atopic dermatitis. [aocd.org]
Sunlight worsens dry skin by drying the epidermis. [5] Tight clothing can increase the risk of dry skin and worsen existing dry skin through abrasive friction as the patient moves. For many people, daily bathing is seen as an essential activity. [medscape.com]
Consider factors that have caused dry skin: bathe less frequently, use a cream cleanser instead of soap, do not expose skin to direct heat. [dermnetnz.org]

However, providers should not suggest routine testing in the search for “causes” of AD, because the predictive value of positive tests is low, and often true clinical allergies may be irrelevant as AD triggers (eg, may cause a reaction such as urticaria [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
- Cradle Cap
; Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (also known as “cradle cap”), which causes a dry or greasy peeling of the scalp, face and eyebrows and is common among infants. Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is typically clinical. [jaxallergy.com]
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is often referred to as dandruff, or cradle cap in infants, and affects the scalp and eyebrows and at times along the sides of the nose. [canadianskin.ca]
Cradle cap is a type of seborrheic dermatitis that can occur on the scalp of babies, but this usually disappears after a few months. In adults, seborrheic dermatitis has no cure and people will continue to experience flare-ups from time to time. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Lichen sclerosus rarely occurs in men who are circumcised at birth, suggesting that the moist environment under the foreskin may predispose. Appearance in surgical wounds and after radiotherapy or sunburn suggests that trauma may be a precipitant. [patient.info]
Your doctor can suggest treatment with creams or ointments that help return a more normal appearance to your skin and decrease the tendency for scarring. The condition does tend to recur, so long-term follow-up care may be needed. [mayoclinic.org]

Neurologic
- Irritability
For example, having phimosis makes it easier to develop irritation of the glans and foreskin. Once this irritation occurs, symptoms such as pain and swelling may make it more difficult to retract the foreskin. [healthline.com]
It can appear in red, bumpy, pimple -like irritations. Shaving can cause it to become inflamed. [ citation needed ] Diagnosis [ edit ] This section is empty. [en.wikipedia.org]
Contact dermatitis occurs in two forms: allergic and irritant. Allergic contact dermatitis is usually a delayed reaction to an allergen, such as poison ivy. Irritant contact dermatitis is more common and is the result of a reaction to an irritant. [canadianskin.ca]
Causes of balanitis Balanitis can be caused by: poor hygiene, leading to a build-up of smegma irritation under the foreskin caused by pee soaps, shower gels, and other skin irritants thrush a bacterial infection a sexually transmitted infection (STI) [nhs.uk]
Shaving, wool, or other sources of irritation can also cause a person’s dry skin to become inflamed. [aocd.org]
Treatment
This improvement was defined very good for erythema already after 2 weeks of treatment, good for scaling and dryness, above all after 4 weeks of treatment. [iris.unimol.it]
These patients may have flares of the eczema, but, once having been educated about the cause and treatment, they can redo the soak and smear treatment and find relief. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
It may be preferable to start treatment and to monitor response. Is essential if lesions do not respond to adequate treatment. [patient.info]
[…] the current treatment plan is well understood. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Prognosis
The prognosis of BXO is closely related to its early detection and intervention. If the BXO is detected at an early stage, the prognosis is usually very good. It is important to note that spontaneous remission may occur [5]. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
What every physician needs to know Though adrenal tumors are relatively common in the general population, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a relatively poor prognosis. The pathogenesis of ACC is not well understood. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
What is the prognosis of eczema? Most of the patients with eczema do quite well under the care of a dermatologist who has made an accurate diagnosis. [medicinenet.com]
Prognosis is generally good, however, if causative factors are not treated, chronic eczema can occur. If prone to secondary infection, bleach baths may of value. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Prognosis [ 2, 3 ] In most females it is a chronic condition, although symptom control is often successful. In men there is a higher chance of remission or cure. Scarring is not reversible with pharmacological treatment. [patient.info]
Etiology
If the biopsy is not compatible with BXO, an infectious etiology should be excluded and the collaboration of the Dermatology service should be considered. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
(Courtesy of Bryan Anderson, MD) Multiple etiologic factors can coexist with asteatotic eczema. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Little is known about the etiology, but several factors are associated with developing seborrheic dermatitis including hormone levels,… Impetigo I. What every physician needs to know. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Numerous factors are thought to be involved in its etiology, including moisture, friction, repeated infections, and poor hygiene. 2, 4 Exposure of the mucosa to chronic irritation and a humid environment explains why Zoon balanitis is less common in circumcised [aafp.org]

Epidemiology
One study found that dry and pruritic skin was the most common problem in nursing homes. [4] There are numerous reasons for this epidemiologic finding. [medscape.com]
Epidemiology [ 1 ] The true incidence of LS is unknown and is probably underestimated. Incidence is higher in females than males. It is believed there is a prevalence of around 3% of adult women and 0.07% of men. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of xerosis is related to abnormal keratin production; elderly persons have decreased skin fatty acids, which results in decreased skin barrier and hydration. [o-wm.com]

Prevention
Given these results, the importance of comprehensive treatment of these problems to prevent stasis dermatitis and ulcer formation cannot be underestimated. [o-wm.com]
Avoiding specific triggers or allergens can help to prevent or minimize flare-ups. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Mild and moisturizing soaps should be used to prevent further irritation. [3] Avoiding scratching the affected area and applying anti-itch or moisturizing lotion frequently would also help in reducing dryness. [en.wikipedia.org]
Is it possible to prevent eczema? The judicious use of moisturizing creams or ointments can be an effective treatment for many people in preventing certain types of eczema. [medicinenet.com]
As with most conditions, prevention is key in controlling asteatotic eczema. Much of the problems associated with dry skin can be helped through simple behavior changes. [aocd.org]
