Proofreading Answer Key
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
Mrs. Smith is a former patient of mine now referred back for her regular skin check. She does have a history of actinic keratoses, which has responded well in the past to liquid nitrogen. As well, she has had recurrent perioral dermatitis, which is clear at this point.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
On examination today, the patient has prominent actinic keratoses on the right shoulder, right back, and dorsal hands. Of note is the fact that the lesion on the shoulder is somewhat thickened and inflamed.
ASSESSMENT:
Actinic keratoses.
PLAN:
All lesions were treated with liquid nitrogen today. The patient will start using Retin-A 0.025 versus Retin-A Micro on the sun-damaged areas of her skin. She will come back to see me in one month's time if the thicker shoulder lesion has not resolved, at which time it can be biopsied.
