Wound healing and treating wounds
Wounds are an excellent example of how the field of dermatology represents a cross-section of many medical disciplines. For instance, wounds may be caused by trauma, vascular insufficiency, and underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatologic and inflammatory disease. This continuing medical education article provides an overview of wound healing and the pathophysiology of chronic wounds and reviews the broad differential diagnosis of chronic wounds. It also describes the initial steps necessary in evaluating a chronic wound and determining its underlying etiology.

Chronic pain management in dermatology
Pain is a central component of illness and suffering, yet unfortunately it is frequently undertreated. In dermatology, many acute and chronic conditions are characterized by pain that may require therapeutic intervention in addition to medical treatment aimed at treating the primary disease. To date, however, there are limited recommendations or evidence in the published literature on pain and pain management strategies for patients with skin disease. In an effort to enable providers to more comprehensively and effectively treat chronic pain in the primary and multidisciplinary dermatologic context, these topics will be di...

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas: Part II. Therapy and future directions
The choice of therapy for primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) relies on correct histopathologic classification and the exclusion of systemic disease. In part II of this continuing medical education article, we will review the available therapies for the different types of PCBCL. Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) and primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) are indolent tumors with an excellent prognosis. They are managed similarly with local therapy, such as radiotherapy or surgical excision, for isolated disease and observation for asymptomatic multifocal presentations. Relapses are common i...

Kawasaki disease: Part II. Complications and treatment
Kawasaki disease, or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the United States and other developed countries. Coronary artery lesions are the most significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Treatment should ideally be provided within 10 days of symptom onset to reduce the risk of coronary artery complications. The standard of care for treatment is intravenous immunoglobulin plus aspirin, but adding corticosteroids may provide additional benefit for high-risk patients. Some patients do not respond to intravenous immunoglobulin and require additional therapy. Part I...
