01Inflammatory dermatoses, hair and nail disease
Most items in this domain test whether you can separate the major reaction patterns: spongiotic (eczema), psoriasiform (psoriasis, pityriasis rubra pilaris), lichenoid (lichen planus) and interface/vacuolar . Ask three questions: where is the rash (flexural, extensor, palmoplantar, scalp), what is the scale like (silvery and thick, fine and pityriasiform, collarette), and what do the nails and mucosae show?

Dermato-oncology begins with clinical evolution, lesion morphology, dermoscopy and an appropriately obtained tissue diagnosis. Basal cell carcinoma can show a pearly edge, telangiectasia, ulceration, arborizing vessels and blue-gray structures; it is usually locally destructive and only rarely metastatic.

Infectious dermatology combines morphology with organism, depth, host defenses, exposure and the consequences of delay. Superficial impetigo, a sharply demarcated erysipelas pattern and deeper cellulitis are related but different presentations.

Pemphigus vulgaris: flaccid blisters, mucosal involvement, positive Nikolsky sign, intercellular IgG on immunofluorescence, anti-desmoglein 3. Bullous pemphigoid: tense blisters in older patients, anti-BP180/BP230, linear IgG and C3 at the basement membrane, tissue eosinophils.

Erythema toxicum (blotchy erythema with eosinophil-rich pustules, early neonatal life, self-limiting), miliaria (sweat duct obstruction) and neonatal cephalic pustulosis are benign , recognise them so antibiotics are avoided. Nappy rash: irritant dermatitis spares the flexures, whereas candidal dermatitis involves flexures with satellite pustules; seborrhoeic dermatitis is a third pattern.
