Cancer of the melanocytes. The most rare but
most deadly type of cancer.
 A) Malignant Melanoma
 B) Third-Degree Burn
 C) Impetigo
 D) Alopecia Areata
 E) Jaundice
It usually begins as a mole.
Use ABCD method to identify.
Risk Factors include:
Exposure to UVA and UVB
sunlight
Tanning Beds
Blistering/peeling sunburns as
a child
Itchy, red, peeling
condition of the skin
between the toes
resulting from a
fungal infection.
 A) Alopecia Areata
 B) Ketosis Pilaris
 C) Athlete’s foot
 D) Scabies
 E) Acne
There are 3 types of Athlete’s
foot:
Toe web—in between toes
Moccasin—side of foot
Vesicular—blisters
Prevention: keep feet clean
and dry
A very itchy skin
condition caused by
tiny mites that
burrow into your
skin.
 A) Alopecia Areata
 B) Ketosis Pilaris
 C) Athlete’s foot
 D) Scabies
 E) Acne
Caused by mites
Contagious: close contact,
bed sheets, sharing towels

Chronic condition
characterized by over
production of skin
cells that result in
reddened epidermal
lesions covered with
dry, silvery scales that
itch.
A) Ringworm
B) Psoriasis
C) Cold Sore
D) Warts
E) Acne
chronic, non-contagious
autoimmune disease that

A medical condition in
which too much
bilirubin is circulating in
the blood. This excess
causes the skin and
eyes to turn a yellowish
color.
A) Hemangioma
B) Stretch marks
C) Warts
D) Albinism
E) Jaundice
Bilirubin--produced when "used" red
blood cells are broken down.
Liver filters bilirubin from the
bloodstream
Before birth, a mother's liver removes
bilirubin from the baby's blood.
A newborn infant has a large amount
of red blood cells, and the rate at
which they are produced and broken
down is relatively fast. Also, the liver
of a newborn is immature and often
can't remove bilirubin quickly enough.
Cells of the stratum basal
are altered so they no
longer form keratin and
no longer honor the
boundary between the
epidermis and dermis,
most common type of
cancer.
 A) Basal cell carcinoma
 B) Melanoma
 C) Squamous cell
carcinoma
 D) Albinism
 E) Jaundice
most common type of skin cancer
Rarely metastasizes or kills, but it is
still considered malignant because
it can cause significant destruction
and disfigurement by invading
surrounding tissues.
Approximately 3 out of 10
Caucasians develop a basal cell
cancer within their lifetime.
In 80 percent of all cases, basal cell
cancers are found on the head and
neck.

impetigo).
Typically treated with either an
antibiotic cream or medication
taken by mouth.

A skin infection caused

Doctors estimate
burns suffered by a
patient by:
A) blood analysis
B) performing
enzyme studies
C) ABCD rule
D) Rule of nines
Measuring the size of a burn is
difficult because every person is
different in size, shape and
weight. It's impossible to simply
choose what universal size of
burn is significant. A square
foot of burned surface area is
much worse to a person who
weighs 130 pounds than it is to
someone who weighs 200
pounds.
