If I were to write a paper about skin care (acne and how to treat it) what should I write?
Mar 22nd
No person understands the things causes acne. Lifestyle adjustments, for instance some of those through teenage and pregnancy, quite possibly may play a role. There are thousands of misconceptions with what triggers acne. Cake and even fried foodstuffs are often attributed, there is, however, limited verification that your foods have got a great deal of impact on acne in most individuals. Another well-known belief is dirty skin will cause acne. Yet, blackheads and pimples commonly are not due to dirt and grime. Tension won’t trigger acne, but tension can make it worse.
Question by angel: If I were to write a paper about skin care (acne and how to treat it) what should I write?
I have a 4-5 page essay due in three weeks.
I can pick any topic I want as long as I can enjoy writing about it.
I think skin care would probably be my interest..
Probably not exactly skin care, but like acne/pimples.
So, what should I write about?
What causes acne, how to treat, etc etc.
Please give me some options on what to write about.
Thanks!

Best answer:
Answer by gsschulte
herpes is a really nasty disese. transmitted by physical contact and usually appears as open sores which can lead to infection. type it into yahoo pic database and im sure you can find pictures. and there is no cure, as all herpes type infections it lives on nerve fibers and will retreat and reactivate hence breakouts.

Question by Sniggly_Snew: Do genital herpes occur on top of the skin or under the skin like a cyst?
I’ve looked at several pictures of herpes and they all appear above the skin. I have a lump that comes up about a week after I shave (but not always) it’s not on top of the skin. It’s more like a cyst being beneath the skin. If you have herpes, does this sound like herpes or something else? It’s never a blister, never opens, and never dries or scabs. I am going to the health department to get blood tests. But I just want to know what everyone thinks.

Answer by jackmatt
If it comes up when you shave, then its probably an ingrown hair or follicle. Herpes is a blister or open lesion & they can be very painful.

Should I do anything about a monkey bite that didn’t break the skin?
Feb 7th
Question by Ozymandias: Should I do anything about a monkey bite that didn’t break the skin?
I was visiting Mount Emei near Chengdu, Sichuan Provence in China this morning near the enclosure for Tibetan Macaques. When I was trying to take a picture near the fence, one of the monkey’s began yanking on my back pack. I thought it was a person pulling on me and, without looking, reached behind to grip my bag. The next thing I knew a monkey was clutching my arm tightly and about 5 seconds later he bit me.
I was wearing a long sleeved fleece at the time and while some skin was scraped away, it doesn’t look like the teeth ever touched my skin. But there IS some raw skin (though no blood). My concern is if some of the saliva some how got through the cloth and maybe minute amounts seeped into my raw epidermis. Tibetan Macaques are known to have Herpes B which is (VERY rarely) transmitted to humans, resulting in fatalities. It says up to 90 percent of male macaques are infected with the virus, which is harmless to them but fatal to humans. There’s no known cure for it.
I’m living in a small Chinese town for the next 8 months and my vacation officially ended today. Should I skip work and go to Shanghai to have my bite checked out? I’m POSITIVE the teeth didn’t touch my skin directly, but some of my skin IS slightly broken (the bruise is pretty painful). What say you?

How does acne vulgaris change the structure and function of the skin?
Jan 20th
Acne the kind of skin complaint that causes pimples. Bad spots form whenever hair follicles under your skin clog up. The majority of zits appear around the facial area, neck, rear, chest and shoulder blades. Everyone could get acne, but it is common in adolescents and even adults. It isn’t significant, nonetheless you can get scar issues.

What causes skin cancer and what are the effects?
Jan 12th
Question by ?!SooRandom!?: What causes skin cancer and what are the effects?
Well, I am 13, and I have gotten two severe sunburns this past month. My mom said they were pretty bad, and they can cause skin cancer in the future. Is this really true? If not what are the real causes of skin cancer? What are the effects?
Best answer:
Answer by Brendy
Skin Cancer Causes
Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, most commonly from sunlight, is overwhelmingly the most frequent cause of skin cancer.
Other important causes of skin cancer include the following:
* Use of tanning booths
* Immunosuppression—impairment of the immune system, which protects the body from foreign entities, such as germs or substances that cause an allergic reaction. This may occur as a consequence of some diseases or can be due to medications prescribed to combat autoimmune diseases or prevent organ transplant rejection.
* Exposure to unusually high levels of x-rays
* Contact with certain chemicals—arsenic (miners, sheep shearers, and farmers), hydrocarbons in tar, oils, and soot (may cause squamous cell carcinoma)
Regarding your mother’s comment, people who had at least one severe sunburn early in life have a greater risk of developing skin cancer. Mom is right!
Treatment for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma is straightforward. Usually, surgical removal of the lesion is adequate. Malignant melanoma, however, may require several treatment methods, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Laser skin resurfacing for Acne scars part 2
Nov 4th
Call front desk: 1-540-989-6361 or 540-989-6763. Email: www.SWVACenter.com My name is Hans Moore. I’m 42. This is my 3rd laser skin treatment with Kathleen Gorman. The procedure is called Erbium fractional laser skin resurfacing. It is the same method as Fraxel, but the machine has a different name. The Procedure was performed at the ” Southwest Virginia Center. 2965 Colonnade Drive Suite 140. Roanoke, VA. This is the best treatment on the market to help soften acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, even out the skin tone and remove freckles or blotchy skin. The pain feels like rubber bands snapping the skin. It takes only 4 days to heal. This reason I had this skin treatment performed is, because I had some small acne scarring and a few fine lines around my eyes. This treatment also tightens the skin permanently.
