HELP WITH DERM TERMS!

I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.

Assessment:  Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen.  (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:

s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:

On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 

I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA

Thanks for help!

It is an assessment - eczema s/l craculae or crackle-a.  TIA!!

Under Review of Systems, it sounds like the doctors says "Derm no complaints, Hem no complaints." I've never heard this dictated in the Review of Systems before.

Need help with words in bold.  Thank you.

SKIN:  Lots of seborrheic keratoses.  He does have an elevated 9 mm papule on left side of the face, which has some vascularization and central core.  It almost looks like acanthokeratosis, but basal cell carcinoma cannot be fully ruled out.  No other suspicious lesions.  He does have some miliary rubra on the back.

These derm guys and their adjectives are putting me right over the top!!!  Comma or no comma???

Physical examination reveals relatively severe diffuse facial dermatoheliosis

relatively severe, diffuse or relatively severe diffuse

since telantiectasia is one of the symptoms/signs of rosacea I believe these sites are okay and reliable. See below. Sort of like saying papulo-pustular, which in the old days when I typed derm was always hyphenated etc. Just new derm-speak I believe

Pt has diffuse pruritic rash treated by a dermatologist with Aveeno baths and "Lentek" ointment. In the med listing, he only says "and the Aveeno bath and Lentek ointment."  No dosage given.

When I google Lentek, I come up with pest control agents. Any ideas?

First typed it back in 1970s. Then again in the 90s and the doctor used all abbreviations. Almost lost it that time!!!  They all have their little "docisms". keratinaceous is used by a lot of them. For real!!!

Because of words like the one you were looking for, and because it seems like she needed a minimum of 10 adjectives to describe every single speck on the skin - "Pt has a small, reddish-brown, raised, oval-shaped, 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm (etc., etc.) spot on the upper left arm..."    (Don't mean to be insensitive to the patients.  Just don't miss it is all I'm saying!)

I'm working on a file about an HIV patient who also has a MAC infection.  Under the "IMPRESSION", the dictation sounds like.  Situation further complicated by disseminated MAC infection which led to s/l INCESNAL obstruction due to severe s/l MACROLIDED lymphadenitis.  Improving s/l TEKEXIA.

Any help anyone could give me with any of those terms would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as.  That's what I used to do.  Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.
