Abstract

Senile gluteal dermatosis (SGD) is an underdiagnosed skin condition that mostly affects the elderly. It appears as hyperkeratotic or lichenoid papules or plaques over the gluteal area, unilaterally or bilaterally. The etiopathogenesis of this condition is not yet known, but it is considered to be caused by prolonged mechanical stress on the affected area leading to neovascularization and epidermal hyperplasia. SGD poses unique problems in diagnosis and management due to its clinical characteristics and histological findings matching other common conditions. Due to its lesser-known status, it is frequently misdiagnosed as lichen simplex chronicus, inverse psoriasis, or cutaneous amyloidosis, which results in a variable response to treatment. Lifestyle modifications aiming at reducing pressure at the affected site remain the mainstay of treatment, but some reports have shown better results with topical or systemic retinoids. SGD is underreported in the scientific literature and is still not mentioned significantly in textbooks. This review attempts to give a thorough overview of SGD regarding its clinical presentation, etiology, pathogenesis, dermoscopy, diagnostic standards, differential diagnoses, and accessible treatments. Healthcare practitioners can enhance early recognition and provide the right care for afflicted people by raising knowledge and understanding of this disorder.

老年性臀部皮肤病:发病机制、诊断标准和管理的最新进展
老年性臀部皮肤病(SGD)是一种诊断不足的皮肤病,主要影响老年人。它表现为单侧或双侧臀部角化过度或苔藓样丘疹或斑块。这种疾病的发病机理尚不清楚,但认为是由于患处长期受到机械压力导致血管新生和表皮增生所致。由于 SGD 的临床特征和组织学结果与其他常见疾病相似,因此给诊断和治疗带来了独特的问题。由于 SGD 鲜为人知,它经常被误诊为慢性单纯性苔藓、逆转性银屑病或皮肤淀粉样变性,导致对治疗的反应不一。旨在减轻患处压力的生活方式调整仍是治疗的主要方法,但一些报告显示,局部或全身使用维甲酸类药物的效果更好。科学文献中对 SGD 的报道较少,教科书中也很少提及。这篇综述试图对 SGD 的临床表现、病因、发病机制、皮肤镜检查、诊断标准、鉴别诊断和可采用的治疗方法进行全面概述。医护人员可以通过提高对该疾病的认识和理解,加强早期识别,并为患者提供正确的护理。

期刊介绍: Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
