How Laser Treatments Might Help Your Rosacea Rosacea can be frustrating because the symptoms can come and go for years. Just when you think the redness is finally gone, it comes back worse than ever. In addition to skin redness that you may find embarrassing, rosacea often causes thickening of the skin in the nose, which can slowly change your facial appearance over the years. While you can take medication for rosacea and do things like stay out of the sun, you can also see a dermatologist for laser treatments.…

Managing your Rosacea Information, Symptoms, and Treatment on managing your Rosacea What is Rosacea? Rosacea, pronounced "roh-ZAY-sha", is a non-contagious auto-immune skin disorder estimated to affect at least 16 million in the U.S. alone. (Gary W. Cole) It typically begins between the ages of 30 and 60 as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead, but overtime the condition may spread to the neck, ears, and chest.…
For the purpose of this discussion topic paper, I reviewed the article Rituximab as a treatment for severe atopic eczema: failure to improve in three consecutive patients. The article discussed the study of three consecutive patients with severe atopic eczema (red, itchy skin) that they treated with rituximab infusions, but the infusions failed to improve the condition. The article also mentions three other case studies that varied in results. Considering the small sample used in the main study of this article and the contradicting findings of other sited studies, I do not find that the main study, alone, is an adequate one to draw any type of final conclusion about whether or not rituximab is a successful method of treatment for severe atopic eczema.…

People of all races can get rosacea, however, it is more prevalent in fair-skinned people of northern European descent (Irish, German, English, etc.).…
My parents tried and failed to seek the medicine that would even lessen the suffering or annoyance of this disease. We searched from Texas to Wuhan in China, trying different lotions, pills, special baths, but none of these supposed solutions provided any permanent aid but rather an occasional reduction of the itchiness. So I stuck with a lotion called Cetaphil which helped with my irritated skin, but provided only minor relief. I saw this irritation as something unfair. It provided excuses, anger, and reasons to fail.…

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: The Rare, Acquired, Chronic Disease of Blister Formation Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) is a rare, acquired, autoimmune disease that produces the formation of blisters on the skin after minor trauma (“Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinic”, 2015). Due to small rubs and strains, blisters are commonly seen on the skin. EBA does not only affect the skin, but it can also affect the eyes, nails, mouth, esophagus, and lungs.…
In recent years, there has been a paucity of research investigating the impact of eczema on psychological and social wellbeing in children. Health care and treatments have been dominated by the biomedical model, and thus, the psychosocial elements of chronic illnesses, which are often the most distressing for patients, are frequently overlooked (Lane, 2014; White, Faithfull & Allan, 2012). With this in mind it is no surprise that support offered by health professionals and caregivers to children with eczema in relation to their psychosocial wellbeing is limited and/or inaccurate. Thus, it appears essential for a biopsychosocial model to be integrated into healthcare which considers more than just physical symptomology in patients (Wade, 2015).…
Every year, millions of people lather on sunscreen, thinking it could protect them from skin damage and cancer. Every person is taught that the sun is the main reason for skin cancer. I started thinking a long time ago—if sunblock is to prevent skin cancer, why is the sun still to blame if we are adequately protected? The way sunblock is meant to work is by blocking the damaging UV and UVB rays. For many years now, the media would have you believe that you’re to use sunblock every time you’re going to be exposed to the sun for a long period of time.…
