| Patient Name: Jane Doe
DOB: 03/15/1995
Age: 30 years
Sex: Female
Date of Service: 03/10/2025
Location: New York Dermatology Clinic
Chief Complaint
Patient presents with a persistent facial rash and photosensitivity with occasional joint discomfort.
History of Present Illness
Jane Doe is a 30-year-old female who reports a 6-week history of an erythematous, scaly rash predominantly over the malar region, extending to the nasal bridge, with sparing of the nasolabial folds. The rash is mildly pruritic and worsens with sun exposure. In addition, she describes intermittent joint pains in her hands and knees, which she rates as mild-to-moderate in intensity. There is no history of fever, oral ulcers, or significant weight loss. The patient notes that the rash has not improved with over-the-counter moisturizers. She denies any new skincare products, exposures, or recent infections. The distribution and characteristics of the rash raise concern for an underlying autoimmune process, potentially cutaneous lupus erythematosus, warranting further laboratory evaluation.
Past Medical History
Hypothyroidism: Diagnosed 5 years ago, well-controlled on levothyroxine.
No known history of dermatologic conditions prior to this episode.
Past Surgical History
Appendectomy: Performed at age 15, no complications.
Medications
Levothyroxine 75 mcg daily
Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (for birth control and menstrual regulation)
Allergies
NKDA (No known drug allergies)
Family History
Mother: Rheumatoid arthritis
Sister: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
No known family history of systemic lupus erythematosus
Social History
Occupation: Administrative professional in New York City
Lifestyle: Non-smoker, occasional alcohol use
Exercise: Regular (3 times/week moderate activity)
Sun Exposure: Increased due to outdoor commuting; uses minimal sunscreen
Review of Systems
Constitutional: Denies fever, chills, or fatigue.
Skin: Reports rash as described; no new lesions on other parts of the body.
Musculoskeletal: Intermittent joint pain in hands and knees, without significant swelling.
HEENT: No oral ulcers, no vision changes; mild photosensitivity noted.
Cardiovascular/Respiratory: Negative.
Gastrointestinal/Genitourinary: Negative.
Neurological: Negative.
Psychiatric: Denies depression or anxiety related to her condition.
Physical Examination
Vital Signs:
Temperature: 98.6°F
Blood Pressure: 118/76 mmHg
Pulse: 72 bpm
Respirations: 16/min
General:
Alert, well-appearing female in no acute distress.
Skin:
Face: Erythematous, slightly edematous rash over the malar region with fine scale, sparing the nasolabial folds. No vesicles or pustules noted.
Extremities & Trunk: No rashes or lesions observed.
Musculoskeletal:
Mild tenderness on palpation of the small joints of the hands without obvious swelling or deformity. Full range of motion maintained.
HEENT:
Head: Normocephalic, atraumatic.
Eyes: Conjunctiva clear; sclera anicteric.
Oral Mucosa: No lesions or ulcers.
Assessment
Suspected Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE): Discoid lupus erythematosus or Systemic lupus erythematosus if systemic involvement is confirmed.
Differential includes: photosensitive dermatitis, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis.
Joint Pain:
Likely inflammatory in nature, possibly related to autoimmune etiology.
Hypothyroidism (Controlled):
No changes in management required at this time.
Plan
Diagnostic Work-Up:
Laboratory Tests:
Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Panel: To screen for autoimmune markers.
Anti-dsDNA and Anti-Sm antibodies: Specific markers for lupus.
CBC with Differential and CMP: To assess for systemic involvement and inflammation.
Complement Levels (C3, C4): To evaluate immune activity.
Phototesting: Consider referral if diagnosis remains unclear.
Therapeutic Management:
Topical Therapy:
Initiate a mid-potency topical corticosteroid (e.g., triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream) to be applied twice daily to affected areas for 4 weeks.
Recommend a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Sun Protection:
Advise strict photoprotection measures including broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+), protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours.
Joint Pain Management:
Initiate NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen 400 mg every 6-8 hours as needed) for symptomatic relief.
Patient Education:
Discuss the potential autoimmune nature of her condition, the need for further evaluation, and the importance of sun protection.
Educate on the possibility of systemic involvement and the need for follow-up if symptoms escalate.
Follow-Up:
Schedule a follow-up appointment in 4 weeks to review lab results, assess response to topical therapy, and re-evaluate joint symptoms.
Provide instructions to contact the clinic sooner if she experiences worsening symptoms, new systemic manifestations, or adverse reactions to medications.
