Goal of Treatment
Hydrate the skin
![Page 13: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Treatment of Eczema
Emollients (creams which lubricate the skin)
Oral antihistamines (control itching) Antibiotics (treat superinfections) Corticosteroids (anti-inflammatories) Immunomodulators (inhibit T lymphocyte
activation) AVOID SOAPS!

![Page 15: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Acne
Inflammatory disease of the skin involving the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
Contributing factors include: heredity, hormonal influences and emotional stress
![Page 16: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 17: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Patient teaching
Do not pick! This increases the bacterial count on the surface of the skin and opens lesions to infection which worsens scarring
Remind patients that the treatment will not show improvement until about 4-6 weeks but they must consistently follow the regime set up by the physician
![Page 18: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Medical treatment for acne
Topical (Benzoyl peroxide, Tretinoin (RetinA), topical preferred to systemic; however, both may be needed
Oral: Tetracycline, minocycline, erythromycin; estrogen for female pts., Accutane
![Page 19: Pediatric Skin Disorders. Compare skin differences Infant: skin not mature at birth Adolescence: sebaceous glands become enlarged & active](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e195503460f94b055f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Acne: Nursing care
Avoid picking and squeezing Use gentle skin cleansers Avoid use of astringents containing ETOH Avoid hats or abrasive rubbing of the skin Wash hands after handling greasy foods Limit use of petrolatum-based hair products; hair
away from face Use oil-free makeup, protections from windy,
cold weather Continue therapy even when improved
