Wyprysk z hiperkeratozą - Objawy, Diagnoza i Leczenie
Pathophysiology
The skin is composed of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis (composed of the superficial papillary and deeper reticular dermis), and the hypodermis. The skin has structural differences among the different areas of the body in terms of epidermal and dermal thickness, distribution of appendages, and pigmentation. The epidermis is composed of multiple layers of maturing keratinocytes: the basal layer (stratum basale), the squamous layer (stratum spinosum), the granular layer (stratum granulosum), and the cornified layer (stratum corneum). This stratified epithelium is in a constant process of self-renewing and exfoliation that takes 20-40 days to complete. The cells in the outer layer are the most differentiated in the keratinocyte line, composed almost entirely of keratin lamels of high molecular weight, and those are the ones that undergo desquamation, completing the maturation cycle.
When the epidermis is exposed to repetitive injury, it usually elicits an increased proliferative rate of the keratinocytes and accelerates their maturation. Keratinocytes also tend to produce more keratin, thus increasing the stratum corneum's thickness.
Genetic mutations resulting in hyperkeratosis is seen in ichthyoses and keratoderma. There are several damages in keratin-encoding genes such as KRT1 and KRT10, which cause defects in keratin structure. Defective keratin causes irregular aggregates of intermediate filaments, which leads to cellular collapse and blistering. The barrier function is then compromised, and the skin reacts with compensatory hyperproliferation, which leads to hyperkeratosis.
ROGOWIEC
Choroba genetyczna cechująca się hyperkeratynizacją skóry i paznokci. Jest to pogrubienie ograniczone do powierzchni dłoniowych i podeszwowych, pojawiające się zwykle z powodu mutacji.
GŁÓWNE OBJAWY ROGOWCA:
- nadmiernie zrogowaciały naskórek
- żółte lub woskowe zabarwienie skóry
- zgrubiałe i przerosłe płytki paznokciowe
Odmiany rogowca
Unna-Thost pojawia się ok. 1-2 roku życia. Zmiany rogowe są symetryczne, występuje nadpotliwość dłoni i stóp.
Keratoma disseminatum pojawia się po 20 roku życia. Charakteryzuje się drobnymi, rozsianymi wykwitami. Z wiekiem może ich przybywać.
Keratoma trnsgrediens et progrediens pojawia się w pierwszych miesiącach życia. Ogniska hyperkeratotyczne występują poza dłońmi i stopami i najczęściej znajduję się na łokciach i kolanach.
Lokalizacje modzeli:
- palce stóp (okolica grzbietowa i podeszwowa oraz boczna)
- pięta
- przodostopie
- boczna krawędź stopy

Treatment
Hyperkeratosis is, for the most part, highly manageable through various courses of treatment. The most effective treatment options for the varied types of hyperkeratosis include:
- Keratolytics are designed to break down the outer layer of thick skin.
- Moisturizers help combat dry and rough skin.
- Corticosteroids can reduce inflammation.
- Retinoids are designed to encourage a more regulated level of skin cell growth.
That said, each type will have its own treatments. They can include:
When to Call a Healthcare Provider
Make an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and treatment. Your provider will investigate your condition and advise you on which treatment will work best for you. In some cases, treatment is unnecessary.
Introduction
Hyperkeratosis refers to the increased thickness of the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin. Stratum corneum is composed of multiple layers of keratinocyte bodies that, during maturation, produced keratin and subsequently have lost their nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles. The result is a basketweave appearance of anucleate keratinocytes that protect the underlying cells during maturation.
Hyperkeratosis is subclassified as orthokeratotic or parakeratotic. Orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis refers to the thickening of the keratin layer with preserved keratinocyte maturation, while parakeratotic hyperkeratosis shows retained nuclei as a sign of delayed maturation of keratinocytes. Hyperkeratosis can be associated with dyskeratosis. It represents a premature (keratinocytes that are located below the granular cell layer) or abnormal keratinization of individual keratinocytes.
Hyperkeratosis, associated with other abnormalities in the skin biopsy, can be a key to the final histological diagnosis. Epidermal hypertrophy is a benign alteration of the skin that presents with acanthosis (increased thickness of the keratinocyte layers) and hyperkeratosis.
