@kanupriya A total of 17 real-world studies with 263,221 patients with allergic rhinitis met the inclusion criteria and were subsequently reviewed by the investigators. Studies included in this review enrolled children and adults ranging in age from 1 to 90 years. Ten studies were conducted in the United States. Other geographic locations included the Netherlands, Kuwait, Denmark, Turkey, Italy, and South Korea.

@aradhya To further understand the burden of occupational contact allergy in hairdressers, the investigators gathered evidence published since 2000 on contact allergies to hair cosmetic chemicals. They searched the literature for nine substances selected beforehand by experts and stakeholders. The researchers also examined the prevalence of sensitization between hairdressers and other individuals given skin patch tests.

@anamika Mounting evidence suggests that the sooner scars are treated after they are formed, the better. That may not be feasible for patients with a long history of acne scars, but for surgical scars, Ortiz prefers to start treatment on the day of suture removal

@zaira To optimize treatment of CU during pregnancy and to better understand how treatment affects pregnancy outcomes, the researchers analyzed 288 pregnancies in 288 women with CU from 13 countries and 21 centers worldwide. Their mean age at pregnancy was 32.1 years, and their mean duration of CU was 84.9 months. Prior to pregnancy, 35.7% of patients rated the severity of their CU symptoms as mild, 34.2% rated it as moderate, and 29.7% rated it as severe.

@brendan The researchers noted that indoor tanning is regulated in more than 20 countries. Australia has instituted a ban on commercial indoor tanning devices, and Brazil has banned both commercial and private tanning devices. In the United States, 19 states have banned the use of indoor tanning beds for minors, and 44 states as well as the District of Columbia have some regulation of tanning facilities for minors, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

@prantik The identities of sexual minorities have a significant influence on many facets of health. In regard to skin cancer, there seems to be consistently higher rates of skin cancer and certain preventable risk behaviors like indoor tanning among sexual minority men

@haritt Female hair loss "is devastating," said Lily Talakoub, MD, adding that topical minoxidil (Rogaine), topical serums, and supplements "really do not provide the considerable growth that women really want to see." Oral minoxidil is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for hair loss, but "it has been shown in studies to cause the hairs to grow," and has become a "lifeline" for women, said Talakoub, a dermatologist who is in private practice in McLean, Virginia.

@arna AD is caused by a complex interplay between skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. It is the first step in the so-called atopic march, where children also develop food allergy, asthma, and rhinitis

@wetnam Hey, Facial icing is a nice little trick for a natural pick-me-up but isn't a cure-all or a long-term fix for skin problems like acne, genetic under-eye bags, wrinkles, or other issues. You shouldn't do it more than once a day. Also, it increases the glow on your face. Icing constricts your blood vessels and soothes inflammation. It can soothe acne and can increase product absorption, It can reduce puffiness around the eyes (Applying ice on your face regularly reduces swelling by shrinking dilated blood vessels.), and It can cure sunburns and rashes If you have sensitive skin, don’t apply ice cubes directly to your face. Thanks.

@sweetu Hello, Benzoyl peroxide works by peeling away the skin to get rid of dead skin cells, excessive oil, and bacteria that may be trapped underneath. Such effects can lead to dryness, as well as redness and excessive peeling. You might notice itching and general irritation at the site of the application too. over-the-counter acne products and prescription drugs with benzoyl peroxide can really cause dry skin. Everyone who uses it has some amount of dryness, flaking, and peeling. Benzoyl peroxide can make your skin get dry and peel. To counter that, use a good moisturizer. Avoid products that further dry your skinOpt instead of gentle cleaners Or just rinse your face with water. Stop using other acne treatments, too.

@tosh According to studies 84.6% of patients demonstrated clinical improvement in inflammatory acne with systemic amoxicillin prescribed in addition to topical and hormonal treatments. Also, amoxicillin is considered a second-line treatment for medium to severe acne. I think you have inflammatory acne in which amoxicillin will be helpful. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used to treat infections. Since acne is often caused due to hormonal changes, excess sebum, and bacteria, amoxicillin may help manage the skin condition. Thank You!

@rathin Basically, they are living with poison ivy, being extremely itchy for months, even years, before they are really able to get comprehensive patch testing. During that time, they are incurring medical costs

@harish Hand eczema is also common among hairdressers in the United States, Mark Denis Davis, MD, chair of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told Medscape Medical News. The researchers evaluated the risk of occupational hand eczema and compliance with skin protection measures among hairdressers who were trained before Denmark rolled out a nationwide skin protection program in hairdressing vocational schools in 2011.

@kanish topic diseases and HE were linked: atopic dermatitis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 9.66; 95% CI, 8.03 - 11.66), asthma (aOR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.12 - 1.71), and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (aOR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.04 - 1.56). Sex did not affect the link between atopic diseases and HE. Respondents who reported visible mold or mold odor in their apartment had higher risk for HE than those without a history of mold exposure (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07 - 1.61)

@adambrown it sounds like an allergy to something you are using, maybe shower gel or similar.
You could also ask your local pharmacist for a suggestion.
I don't know how often you shower but ease up on your showers for a couple of weeks and look at the products you use, including what you wash your clothes in. It does sound like one of those.
Something like E45 cream will soothe your skin too.
Good luck!

@vishal Specialists give two reasons for the increase in cases. The first is increased epidemiologic surveillance and subsequent reporting of cases through the expanded network of diagnostic laboratories equipped to detect the disease. The second is mass gatherings at large LGBTQIA+ Pride Month events held throughout June.

@priya-0 To make things more complicated, a patient can have one or two lesions – or dozens. They often cluster in the anogenital area, likely reflecting transmission via sexual intercourse, unlike previous outbreaks in which lesions appeared all over the body.

@sarkarsatarupa Only 2 medications have been shown to be effective in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil is applied topically and available as 2% or 5% solutions. Finasteride is taken orally.

@sarkarsatarupa Surgical treatment of androgenetic alopecia has been successfully performed for the past 4 decades. Although the cosmetic results are often satisfactory, the main problem is covering the bald area with donor plugs (or follicles) sufficient in number to be effective. Micrografting produces a more natural appearance than the old technique of transplanting plugs.

A 2009 review of surgical procedures concluded that both patients and physicians alike are pleased with the results of contemporary hair transplantation. [40] Patients with less than 40 follicular units/cm2 in their donor areas are poor candidates for the procedure. Scalp reduction has been attempted to decrease the size of the scalp to be covered by transplanted hair. However, the scars produced by the reduction technique often spread and become more noticeable with time.

A South Korean study noted the effect of a 1550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser in women with androgenetic alopecia. The patients received 10 treatments at 2-week intervals. Global photographs taken at baseline and at the end of laser treatment showed improvement in 24 (87.5%) of the 27 patients studied. However, 2 patients reported mild pruritus after treatment.
Hair weaving techniques are available, and, together with hairpieces, they offer the patient a prosthetic method of coverage.

@sarkarsatarupa In pattern alopecia, hairs are miniaturized. In evolving-pattern alopecia, the diameter of hair shafts varies. Fibrous tract remnants (so-called streamers) can be found below miniaturized follicles. Although androgenetic alopecia is considered a noninflammatory form of hair loss, at times, a superficial, perifollicular, inflammatory infiltrate is noted. A mildly increased telogen-to-anagen ratio is often observed.
