I'm getting killed on Qbank skin questions. I read the little bit in FA, and corresponding BRS Path chapter, but still can't get them. I'm developing a panic disorder over them. Any advice?

Alparazolam, tricyclics (i.e. imipramine), clonazepam, any SSRI, or carbon dioxide (for hyperventilation). Oh, you mean advice for the derm? I'm right there with you. It's my worst section: pemphigous vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid are impossible to distinguish to me.

pox: bullous pemphigoid has "tense" blisters, whereas pemphigus vulgaris has flaccid bullae as i recall from class thiey said all the bullae would be 'popped' in that disease. so just remember the "bullous" one has the real blisters!

(also, pemphigus has lesions in the mouth, and bullous pemphigoid has itchy hives, so that's another difference)

for the derm Q's i listened to goljan and reviewed that section in the princeton review book and ended up doing great (my best section!)
