Different Types of Acne

Scars from acne can seem like double punishment — first you had to deal with the pimples, now you have marks as a reminder.
It helps to understand the different kinds of acne so you can figure out what to do about different types of scarring: Acne lesions or pimples happen when the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples.
Acne comes in different forms:

mild acne, which refers to the whiteheads or blackheads that most of us get at various times
moderately severe acne, which includes red inflamed pimples called papules and red pimples with white centers called pustules
severe acne, which causes nodules — painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps — to appear under the skin

Most serious scarring is caused by the more severe forms of acne, with nodules more likely to leave permanent scars than other types of acne.
The best approach is to get treatment for acne soon after it appears to prevent further severe acne and more scarring. If you have nodules, do visit out treatment centre.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are a normal part of puberty for most girls and guys. When a person grows or gains weight really quickly (like during puberty), that person may get fine lines on the body called stretch marks.
Stretch marks happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in your skin) is disrupted. As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.
If you're noticing stretch marks on your body, you're not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they're more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.
People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders are prone to getting stretch marks because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce. Stretch marks also may occur if a person uses steroid-containing skin creams or ointments (such as hydrocortisone) for more than a few weeks, or has to take high doses of oral corticosteroids for months or longer.
At first, stretch marks may show up as reddish or purplish lines that may appear indented and have a different texture from the surrounding skin. Fortunately, stretch marks often turn lighter and almost disappear over time.
But the fact that stretch marks usually fade and become less noticeable over time can be little consolation if you plan to spend most of your summer in a bathing suit.

Making Them Less Noticeable

Here are some things to consider if you want to make stretch marks less noticeable:

Some people find that self-tanners and sunless tanning treatments (both over-the-counter lotions and sprays and in-salon types of treatments) can help cover up stretch marks. This doesn't work for regular tanning or tanning beds, though, because stretch marks themselves are less likely to tan. And as everyone knows, the sun and tanning beds do more harm than good when it comes to the long-term health of your skin.

You also can buy body makeup matched to the tone of your skin that can make stretch marks all but invisible. Although some manufacturers make these cover-up products water-resistant, makeup may not be the best solution if you'll be spending a lot of time in the water.
Speaking of pool or beach time, the good news is that current fashion favors many styles of bathing suits that also just happen to hide stretch marks. "Boy short" style suits (popular with many athletes because they don't ride up when a person moves) work well for hiding stretch marks on the buttocks and upper thighs. And because many swimmers prefer high-neck bathing suits, which can hide stretch marks in the chest area, there are usually lots of styles to choose from.
These techniques are expensive and are not usually recommended for people in their teen years because they are not finished growing and their stretch marks will probably diminish over time anyway.

Eczema is a common skin problem. If you have eczema or think you might have it, here's how to deal with it.

Some Skin Facts

Your skin, which protects your organs, muscles, and bones and regulates your body temperature, can run into plenty of trouble. Acne occurs when your pores become clogged. But zits aren't the only skin problem you may encounter. Have you ever tried a new type of soap and developed an itchy rash? That reaction may just be eczema in action.

What Is Eczema?

Eczema (pronounced: ek-zeh-ma) is a group of skin conditions that cause skin to become red, irritated, itchy, and sometimes develop small, fluid-filled bumps that become moist and ooze.

There are many forms of eczema, but atopic (pronounced: ay-tah-pik) eczema is one of the most common and severe. Doctors don't know exactly what causes atopic eczema, also called atopic dermatitis (pronounced: der-muh-tie-tis), but they think it could be a difference in the way a person's immune system reacts to things. Skin allergies may be involved in some forms of eczema.
If you have eczema, you're probably not the only person you know who has it. Eczema isn't contagious like a cold, but most people with eczema have family members with the condition. Researchers think it's inherited or passed through the genes. In general, eczema is fairly common — approximately 1 in 10 people in the world will be affected by it at some point in their lives.
People with eczema also may have asthma and certain allergies, such as hay fever. For some, food allergies (such as allergies to cow's milk, soy, eggs, fish, or wheat) may bring on or worsen eczema. Allergies to animal dander, rough fabrics, and dust may also trigger the condition in some people.

S.H.E.:- SOLAR HEAT ENERGY THERAPY TREATMENT

S.H.E. is a worldwide patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light that is similar to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum produced naturally by the sun but with NO UV RADIATION.

The therapy treatment can act in a natural way by supporting the regenerative and rebalancing capacities of the cell and therefore help the cell release its own healing potential. Once delivered to the tissues, the light energy promotes the process of BIOSTIMULATION ( which means that it stimulates diverse biological processes in organisms in a positive manner and thereby enhances cells functions ).

S.H.E. technology became widely used and accepted in medicine as a user-friendly, effective, non-pharmacological medical device. The device have been clinical research for over 15 years of medical study.

Hippocrates' healing philosophy has begun to re-influence the medical fields: " Primum non nocere " ( " Fisrst, do no harm" ) and " Vis Medicatrix Naturae " ( " Honour the healing power of nature " )

S.H.E. therapy system is approved as a medical device according to the Directive 93/42/EEC.

Eomma Skin Care Beauty Tips

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Ok first of all, you have to understand what you can achieve. Your skin has a certain level of melanin which is what gives it its natural colour. This colour darkens (tanning) when you go out in the sun. You can lessen this darkening, but you cannot lighten your skin beyond its natural level of melanin. So if you're naturally brown or wheatish, you can only achieve that, but you can't go milky white. And anyway, what's important is having a clear complexion, not the colour of your skin.Some home remedies for reducing tan and lightening the skin include: curds, almond oil, lemon juice, tomato pulp. You can also mix powders like tumeric, neem powder, besan (chickpea flour) with any one of the juices (or all of them) and make a mask. As I have dry skin, I first rub in almond oil on my face...it keeps the mask from drying my skin out too much. Then I apply a mixture of a few of these ingredients and leave it on for at least 10 min before washing it off.What you can also do is rub the fresh juices (tomato, lemon) or curds on your face after you come home (from work/school whtever). It immediately starts to counter whatever tan you got during the day. You can do this daily, and maybe use a complete mask twice or thrice, or however's convenient for you.But remember that these are just external remedies. For a glowing complexion, you have to have a balanced diet (plenty of veggies, fresh fruit) and drink loads of water daily. Regular exercise and at least 7 hours of sleep also help.

Eomma Health News. PH Level Of Human Body

Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline ( 7.35 - 7.45 ). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A pH below 7.0 is acidic. A pH above 7.0 is alkaline.
An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur.
An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. A blood pH of 6.9, which is only slightly acidic, can induce coma and death.
The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid forming; and we use artificial chemical sweetners like NutraSweet, Spoonful, Sweet 'N Low, Equal, or Aspartame, which are poison and extremely acid forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.
To maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.
Generally, alkaline forming foods include: most fruits, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings, and seeds and nuts.
Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains, and legumes.
Shifting Your pH Toward Alkaline...
This chart is for those trying to "adjust" their body pH. The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers below 7 acidic ( low on oxygen ) and numbers above 7 alkaline. An acidic body is a sickness magnet. What you eat and drink will impact where your body's pH level falls.

WHAT IS PIGMENTATION

Understanding the causes of abnormal pigmentation is crucial for treatment success, as this is a condition that depending on the cause will require a specific or combined approach to deliver results. There are a number of phases in the development of pigmentation but the various treatment modalities currently available will generally work only on one of those phases.

The “one solution fits all” mentality will ultimately deliver poor results and may cause either hyper or hypo pigmentation, particularly in skins that are of multiple genetic pigmentation we need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the cells and systems that create melanin and why and how things can go wrong. Let’s dispel a few myths regarding the difference between dark and fair skin. We now know that between these two skin colours:

. The number of melanocytes are similar
. There is a differing ratio of red to brown pigments
. There is a differing size of the melanosome that carries the pigment
. There is a differing size of the pigment granule

It is also important to note that the length of the dendrite of the melanocyte affects skin tone.

What type of skin?
We have historically used Fitzpatrick skin type classification (six skin types) to differentiate skin colours and their reaction to sun exposure, and it was a common assumption that the skin’s burn time correspond to the skin colour. This initial research was carried out in the 1930s. Since then, a rich mix of ethnicities has been developed and the six skin tones once used are no longer an accurate or useful tool. This is mostly relevant in skin that appear dark, but carry the red head (MC1R) gene.

Understanding burn time
When exposed to UVR, melanocytes produce two types of melanin: Brown pigment (eumelanin) and red pigment (pheomelanin). Eumelanin tans the skin and provides cells with some UV protection. It is part of the cell’s barrier defense systems.

Pheomelanin makes the skin more responsive to the effects of UV light (burn time) and if the ratio of red to brown is high, the skin becomes extra responsive to the effects of sunlight or other UV generating devices such as sunbeds. It is this ratio of red pigment to brown pigment that provides a greater indicator of susceptibility to sun damage.

MC1R red head gene
Red head family history types have a gene known as the Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1R) and with this gene the pheomelanin is altered in such a way to allow it to be more easily converted into a free radical upon exposure to UV light, generating the superoxide anion which can damage nearby skin cells, including the DNA of melanocytes. Consequently, individuals with the red head gene face a higher risk for skin cancer and related anomalies. The MC1R gene can be well hidden, thus genealogy should always be checked when in doubt.

Darker skin tone
Healing efficacy becomes an issue in darker and blended skin tones. These skin types often look fair but have hidden darker skin tone and/or red head gene, and is most susceptible to pigmented skin disorders and anomalies. It is also these darker and blended skins that will more readily suffer from post inflammatory pigmentation. This can occur from trauma caused by skin disorders as well as therapeutic interventions, infections, allergic reactions, etcetera.

Keratinocyte/ melanocyte health
An often overlooked factor when investigating the cause of abnormal pigmentation is the health of the two main cells responsible-keratinocyte and melanocyte. When contemplating pigmented skin disorder, always attempt to link cause to the effect on cells and systems. Try to think three dimensionally about the health and efficiency of the keratinocyte, melanocyte, dermal epidermal junction, and cell membrane permeability / strength, as these all play a role in the formation of pigmentation. For example, Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency (EFAD) will impair melanocyte cell dendrite development and affect the melanosome transfer to keratinocyte. EFAD will also affect the cell membrane of keratinocyte, fostering lipid peroxidation and poor formation of the bilayers of the stratum corneum , resulting in poor quality ceramides of low quantity, consequent fast TEWL and a reduction of the free water in the epidermis. Epidermal skin cells work in synergy, particularly the keratinocyte and melanocyte, and the health of one cell may affect another. Never think of a cell as a standalone unit.

Understanding cause and effect
Understanding what has happened to the epidermal cells and systems will ensure that the correct modality is chosen and determine if the condition will even respond to treatment. There are a number of causes of pigmentation including:

Melanocyte cellular senescence (cellular alzheimer’s) can be termed as the twilight state of cellular old age, where the cell is very much alive but distorted in form and function. Melanocytes are long living and slow cycling. This can mean that cellular senescence can continue for a long time, as there is no major resource of new cells. Melonocyte cellular senescence will cause the melanocyte to behave erratically, producing pigmented areas of varying sizes and shapes. They are more often found in older clients, who generally have a history of extensive sun exposure, chemical abuse, or possess the red head gene.

DNA damage is a condition where cell memory is impaired resulting in a continuing cellular replication with the same damage. This is the most difficult type to repair and the attempted prevention by the use of antioxidants is vital with individuals possessing the red head gene as it is genetic and can’t be easily avoided (except avoiding sun exposure). Solar lentigos and vitiligo are examples of a DNA damaged melanocytes.

Dendrite shortening is the result of cell membrane damage, and as previously mentioned, essential fatty acids are required for cell membrane health. Healthy cell membranes ensure active and passive transfer of nutrients, oxygen and cell waste, and are essential for dendritic cells. EFA’s are not metabolized and must be obtained via diet.

Lipid peroxidation or lipofuscin is the only form of pigmentation that does not involve the melanocyte as it is a yellow-brown pigmented waste material deposited in many nerve and skin cells. It is believed to interfere with cellular metabolism, and composed of cross-linked, peroxidised lipids and cross-linked proteins. Deposits of lipofuscin debris increase with age as the body’s ability to repair itself decreases. Tyronaise inhibitors would not help in treating this type of pigmentation.

The MSH Cascade is uncontrolled chemical stimulation of the pituitary gland causing a cascade of the melanin-stimulating hormone, resulting in continual formation of the pigment carrying melanosome. MSH accelerates the melanogenesis process. Hormonal melasma and chlosama are examples of the MSH cascade, where the hormones are either naturally or artificially stimulated (contraceptives, fertility programs, peri pause medication of pregnancy) to initiate melanin stimulating hormone (MSH) production. In some cases a hereditary predisposition may exasperate the condition.

The red head gene (MC1R) is genetic and can often be hidden . The red pigment pheomelanin can oxidize and create super oxide anion free radical, causing DNA damage of melanocyte nucleus and mitochondria. Actinic and solar keratosis are prime examples of problems caused by the red head gene, and the scrutiny of client’s sun burn history or repeated exposure areas will help diagnosis.
