Overview
[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases
On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
- Chronic inflammatory skin diseases
- Contact (allergic, irritant)
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis
- onset during the 1st days or weeks of life, absence of pruritus, and presence of greasy scaling on a yellow-red base
- Involvement of the top of the scalp (cradle cap), axilla, and diaper area makes it more likely the patient has seborrheic dermatitis, vs excoriated dermatitis involving the extensor surfaces, face, and trunk favour AE.
- Psoriasis
- Lichen simplex chronicus
- Infectious agents
- Candida
