First it hurts. Then it itches. And itches. And itches. Why is that? Sunburn is caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation damage to your skin. Too much UV damages your skin cell’s DNA, and your immune system responds by killing off the bad cells. Because UV radiation doesn’t penetrate (unlike X-rays for example), it damages only the surface layer of your skin. This outermost layer happens to be loaded with special nerve fibers called C-fibers which are responsible for itch. Itch is a mechanism to (more…) *This blog post was originally published at The Dermatology Blog* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5107519 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:00:10 +0100 5107519 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4495318&cid=t_207331_117_f&fid=38856&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.timemastermd.com%2F%3Fp%3D2181 Pain in the Butt Poop Dermatitis Linked to Fashionable Toilet Seats, Harsh Chemicals! Jessica Alba – wedgy in edgy Toilet seat dermatitis is one of those legendary conditions described in medical textbooks and seen in underdeveloped countries, but now we are seeing it in the most exclusive backsides in the States.  Jessica, watch where you sit, you might get a poop rash! One of culprits responsible for the butt condition are harsh cleaning chemicals and exotic wooden toilet seats — making a comeback as bathroom décor — especially seats covered with varnishes and paints.  You can get a rash on your butt just looking at this picture!  (Is that a cupholder?)  Most butt rash cases are fairly benign and easy to treat with topical steroids, but inflammation can persist...

It shouldn’t be part of yours. Itching on your bottom is usually a minor annoyance, but it can be debilitating. A patient of mine was unable to work because his derrière itching was so intense. A common cause of itching bottom, called pruritus ani, is allergic contact dermatitis. Places where your skin transitions from outside to inside, such as the lips or the anus, are susceptible to dermatitis because your skin’s barrier is limited in these locations. Without a thick layer of keratin, irritants on the outside easily get into your skin. Moist toilet tissues, such as baby wipes or towelettes, might seem to get you cleaner than old-fashioned toilet paper, but chemicals in the wipes cause a rash in some people. (more…) *This blog po...

If you do, please join the race. CureTogether is excited to announce a new research project we’re collaborating on. Researchers Suephy Chen, Adam Sperduto, and Bob Swerlick at Emory University are doing a study to compare whether online recruiting methods can beat their traditional in-clinic recruiting methods. Basically, they want to see whether CureTogether or in-person methods can get more people to answer a skin disease survey.

Benzoyl peroxide and other ointments used to “dry up” pimples also dry up the skin’s outer layers.  When the outer layers are dry, they are more easily damaged and irritated.  The irritation is a sign of underlying inflammation, which is one of the causes of pimples in the first place. Even if all that you use is a gentle daily cleanser, you should use a good moisturizer after you clean your face.  You just have to be sure that it is a non-pore-clogging moisturizer. Most of the moisturizers on the market contain petrolatum or mineral oil.  Those ingredients do c...

The relative contribution of specific nutritional deficiencies and the degree to which they influence and interact with each other in producing the dermatitis remain unclear, although they may all affect a common underlying metabolic pathway.

I’m not sure what it is about public bathrooms that makes some people act like they’ve never been out before, but sometimes, you really have to wonder if they’ve been taught basic courtesy. Wanting a clean toilet seat isn’t a lot to ask for. If nature is calling, it often calls quite loudly and women don’t have the option of standing like men do. At home, it’s not quite so bad (I hope) but we still want a clean toilet. So, a good cleaning however often you schedule is usually enough. But did you know that, like many other things in life, if you do it too much (or too well), you may be causing problems for people using your toilet? Yo...

Though the cause of such disease is not yet known, researchers have importantly come up with remedies. There are other skin diseases in which skin cells grow abnormally, but are not taken seriously by many and go untreated. But, now researchers have come up with a new remedy for such skin diseases - ’synthetic lipids.’ The new synthetic lipids are called ‘pseudo-ceramides’ after the natural lipids - ceramides — found in the outermost skin layer made of dead cells and mainly serves as a physical barrier. The lipids’ mainly control the growth and differentiation of skin cells. These laboratory-created pseudo-ceramides are thus, responsible for skin c...
