INTRODUCING . . . VED ARORA

full name: vedant gagan arora

nicknames: ved, raja (by his family)

age: thirty-seven

date of birth: june 15, 1986

gender: cis male

occupation: bouncer/bartender at soundwave

neighborhood: midtown

IN A NUTSHELL . . .

parental death tw, cancer tw, hostages tw vedant was the second of two sons, born on a rainy day in delhi. his life was marked by loss within hours of his birth when his mother passed away due to complications in the delivery. his father, while unwilling, was compelled to remarry by his family. they moved to the united states shortly after, and his step-mother showered both him and his older brother, santosh with love and care. while they saw the relationship between his father and mother was nonexistent, the children never felt the strain of her marital relationship impact her maternal love. when his brother was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia, vedant was the presumed donor for a bone marrow transplant. the fact that he was not a match and therefore could not help his brother haunts him to this day. within a few years of her birth they said goodbye to santosh as well. grappling with their grief, ved threw himself into school. after graduation, he attended georgetown and then received an mba from stanford. he began to work with the fbi in hostage negotiations. within a few years he had excelled at work and was handling international negotiations. one such mission took him to syria where he disobeyed instructions in saving mahira zahara garcia. upon returning to the us, he was put on probation and after a few more episodes of poor performance since returning, he was asked to take a break. he returned to wilmington to be with family and work through the demons that caused him to buckle under pressure for the first time.

IN THE WEEDS . . .

Born during the monsoon season in Delhi, Vedant’s very first moments in the world brought tragedy with them. He was only minutes old when his mother passed during child birth, leaving with him little more than her name as his middle name. And thus began Vedant Gagan Arora's series of loss and trauma. His father tried to raise his two sons on his own but family pressure and lack of much needed support led him to marry once more. Where Gagan had been the woman he loved, his new wife was the one who could love his children. And he did not need more than the memories of his late wife and the maternal instinct of his new life partner. Soon after the marriage, they moved to the United States to their first home in Iowa. Vedant grew up knowing only his step-mother as his own. And she absolutely doted on both him and his older brother, Santosh. But it was no secret that she showered her oldest son with the most love given his vivacious personality.

Yet his childhood too was marked by struggle. With a rare and aggressive form of cancer that required a bone marrow transplant, the obvious choice was Vedant. After all, they shared the same blood, who could be a more perfect match? Unfortunately, it was discovered that Vedant was not a match and once again he was faced with the possibility of losing a family member. And it would once again be attributable to him. The thought alone haunted him as he grew even more withdrawn despite the family never voicing such sentiments to him. A part of him felt as though he were a bad omen, bringing destruction and loss wherever he went. They had a few years of absolute happiness when they found a donor. Then once again, Santosh relapsed and this time, there was no treatment that could succeed in prolonging his life. The Dasaris said goodbye to one more family member and plunged into misery immediately. The light and happiness of their house vanishing with their oldest.

It took years to heal, and even then the emptiness could be felt throughout the family. Vedant, having always been introspective and closed off excelled in his academics. It was the only thing he could do to keep himself sane. He ended up attending Georgetown University soon after leaving Wilmington, studying psychology. Thinking it were better for his family if he were away from them, things improved slightly in his absence. Or at least, he was not privy to the ways in which his sister carried the burden of ensuring the family stayed intact and afloat. He continued his education, pursuing an MBA at Stanford University a while later. Vedant was hardly made for business, and it was perhaps for that reason that his career path took a far more dangerous turn. Feeling as though it was hardly fulfilling to work as a consultant or banker like many of his classmates, Vedant instead ended up working at the FBI as a hostage negotiator. Driven by a desire to actually be the source of happiness in the lives of strangers, he quickly rose the ranks as his negotiation skills were unparalleled.

His career soon took him from D.C. to international conflicts. With a few years of training under his belt, he whisked off to negotiate higher stakes situations. His entire career was marked by success. Unlike his childhood, in which he lost two family members, Vedant this time around managed to reunite a number of families with their loved ones. He was all primed to work his way up the ladder. But it all changed when he disobeyed orders in Syria. They were two journalists. A woman and a cameraman, caught in the middle of a hostage situation. Vedant was stationed nearby with orders to wait for further instruction. The tensions were high, as were the demands. Ones that the United States government would have to comply with if they were to rescue their own. The crushing guilt of his childhood came crashing back when after nearly 18 days of hostile negotiations, they were no closer to success. It was then that the thought was floated. Perhaps they had never intended to release the hostage at all. With negotiations at a standstill, it seemed that the government was growing less and less inclined to give into the demands and bring the two journalists back to their family. The thought was unconceivable to Vedant and, for the first time, he went against the orders he was given and sought to save the two himself. He could not watch yet another person lose their life because of his failings.

It was only when he entered the compound that he realized that they had already lost one. He had already failed one family. Throwing his life on the line, he made sure to bring Mahira Zahara Garcia out with him. And while the rescue was a success, it also cost him his promotion. It cost him the work that he was doing and that had gained him such accolade. When he returned, he began to work on smaller cases. They were all local, nothing nearly as high stakes. Added to that was the trauma that returned. The years of wickedness and desperation that he had seen in his life. The worst of human kind and the worst emotions one could feel. They came crashing down and the agency appointed therapist suggested that he take some time off. Reorient himself. He returned to his hometown of Wilmington, wondering if surrounding himself with his family, the people with whom he had first experienced loss, would allow him to heal from within.

Tobacco – The Most Common Preventable Cause Of Cancer

During the early days of my training as a medical oncologist at AIIMS, New Delhi, I was alarmed to see patients as young as 20 years being diagnosed with advanced stages of oral cavity cancers and dying within one year of diagnosis despite treatment. Tobacco chewing is the single most important cause of these cancers and in certain parts of the country, it is so prevalent that it has become the most common cause of cancer.

Research points out that Tobacco abuse is the most common cause of cancer. It is responsible for 10 different types of cancers and collectively they are referred to as ‘Tobacco-related cancers’. They are head and neck cancers (mostly related to tobacco chewing), Lung cancer (primarily due to tobacco smoking), esophageal (food pipe) cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, liver cancer, cervix cancer and acute myeloid leukemia (a type of blood cancer). Together, these account for almost 40% of the cancer burden worldwide, making tobacco the single most common cause of cancer.

Tobacco smoke has at least 70 chemicals that cause cancer, called as carcinogens. Tobacco chewing causes irritation of mucosa in the oral cavity which on long term exposure turns into cancer. An indirect exposure to tobacco smoke from people who smoke around you can place you at a higher risk of getting cancer. This is called ‘passive smoking’ and is especially important to pregnant women as it is shown to be one of the causes of childhood cancers.

If the current trend in smoking and population growth continue, the number of current smokers is expected to reach 2 billion worldwide by 2030. The WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that one out of two young people who start smoking and continue smoking throughout their lives will develop ‘Tobacco-Related Cancer’ (TRC). The numbers are alarming. According to the latest GLOBOCAN data (2018) for India, there were 1.1 million new cases of cancers occurring in a year and 2.2 million people living with cancer. Of these, at least 40% are tobacco-related. Even these reports are likely to be an under-representation due to lack of a good cancer registry covering an adequate population.

What these numbers would suggest is that cancer incidence is growing at an alarming rate and unfortunately a very significant proportion of it is due to a preventable cause, tobacco abuse. The need of the hour is a strong effort from Government and regulatory authorities to curb tobacco. Effective policies, public education through popular media and partnership of all stakeholders across multiple sectors are some of the ways. Every year on 31st May, the WHO and its global partners celebrate World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). The annual campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second-hand smoke exposure, and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form.

The focus of World No Tobacco Day 2019 is on “tobacco and lung health.” The campaign aims to increase awareness on the negative impact of tobacco on people’s lung health, from cancer to chronic respiratory disease.

The focus is not just on Government and such campaigns but on the public as well to understand the risks. Peers to peers, parents to children should talk about the negative impact of tobacco. Its time to ‘kick the butt’!

Are you looking for Lymphoma treatment in India?

Lymphoma is cancer that starts in the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell of the human immune system. Lymphoma is the most common kind of blood cancer. It includes both Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, depending on the specific type of lymphocyte involved.

T-cell lymphoma is type of  Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma  which comes in many forms.

Types of multiple Lymphoma

T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia:  This disease is very common in teens or young adults, with chances of males being affected more than females. It can be considered either a lymphoma or a type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), depending on how much of the bone marrow is involved (leukemias have more bone marrow involvement).

It often starts in the thymus (a small organ behind the breastbone and in front of the heart, which is where many T cells are made), and may grow into a large tumor in the mediastinum (the area between the lungs). This may cause trouble in breathing and swelling of arms and face.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas:  These are uncommon types of lymphoma that develop from more mature forms of T cells.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma:This lymphoma is caused by infection with a virus called HTLV-1. It  affects the bone marrow (where new blood cells are made), lymph nodes, spleen, liver, skin, and other organs.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas : These lymphomas start in the skin. Skin lymphomas account for about 5% of all lymphomas.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: This lymphoma accounts for about 4% of all lymphomas. It is more common in old age. It involve  lymph nodes and bone marrow as well as the spleen or liver, which can get enlarged. People with this lymphoma usually have fever, weight loss, skin rashes and often develop infections.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type:  This rare type lymphoma  involves the upper airway passages, mostly nose and upper throat, but it can also invade the skin, digestive tract, and other organs. Cells of this lymphoma are similar in some ways to natural killer (NK) cells, another type of lymphocyte.

Enteropathy-associated intestinal T-cell lymphoma (EATL):EATL is a lymphoma that grows in the lining of the intestine. This lymphoma is  common in the small intestine, but can also appear in the colon.

This lymphoma occurs in  people with celiac disease (also called gluten-sensitive enteropathy). Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease in which eating gluten, causes the immune system to attack the lining of the intestine and other parts of the body. It is rare among people who have had celiac disease since childhood, and is more common in people diagnosed as older adults. This lymphoma is more common in men than women.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL): About 2% of lymphomas are of this type. It is more common in young people (including children), but it can also affect older adults. This type of lymphoma tends to be fast-growing, but many people with this lymphoma can be cured.

There are different forms of Anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Primary cutaneous ALCL only affects the skin. This is discussed in more detail in Lymphoma of the Skin.

Systemic ALCLcan affect the lymph nodes and other organs, including the skin.

Systemic ALCL is divided into 2 types based on whether the lymphoma cells have a change in the ALK gene.

ALK-positive and ALK-negative type.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms vary according to the specific type of T-cell lymphoma.

symptoms of mycosis fungoides include:  Patches of flat, scaly skin, thick  raised plaques tumors that may or may not develop into ulcers and itching.

Signs and symptoms of Sézary syndrome are: Red, itchy rashes covering most of the body and eyelids. Changes in nails and hair,Enlarged lymph nodes edema, or swelling.

Not all forms of T-cell lymphoma cause symptoms on the skin. Other types may cause:

bleeding or bruising easily

recurrent infections

fevers or chills with no known cause

fatigue

persistent abdominal pain on the left side due to swollen spleen

abdominal fullness

frequent urination

constipation

Treatment of multiple myeloma It is very likely to get more than one type of therapy. There are large number of hospitals in india which can be considered best lymphoma treatment hospitals in india.

Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome may involve direct treatment on the skin as well as systemic treatment. SKIN TREATMENTS Certain ointments, creams, and gels applied directly to  skin can control symptoms and even destroy cancer cells. Retinoids (vitamin A-derived drugs). Potential side effects are itching, irritation, and sensitivity to sunlight. Retinoids shouldn’t be used during pregnancy. Corticosteroids. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids can lead to thinning of  skin. Topical chemotherapy.  It may include redness and swelling. It can also increase the risk of other types of cancer. However, topical chemotherapy tends to have fewer side effects than oral or intravenous chemotherapies. SYSTEMATIC TREATMENTS Medications for T-cell lymphomas include pills, injections, and those given intravenously. Targeted therapies and chemotherapy drugs are often combined for maximum healing.

Systemic treatments may include:

Chemotherapy combination called CHOP, which includes cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone Newer chemo drugs, such as pralatrexate (Folotyn) Targeted drugs, such as bortezomib (Velcade), belinostat (Beleodaq), or romidepsin (Istodax) Immunotherapy drugs, such as alemtuzumab (Campath) and denileukin diftitox (Ontak) In advanced cases, one may need maintenance chemotherapy for up to two years.

Light therapy UVA and UVB light can kill cancer cells on the skin. Light therapy is usually given several times in a week using special lamps. UVA light treatment is generally combined with drugs called psoralens. UVA light activates the psoralens to kill cancer cells.

Radiation Radiation therapy uses radioactive particles to destroy cancer cells. The beams can be directed to the affected skin so that internal organs aren’t affected.

Extracorporeal photopheresis This is used to treat mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome.  Two-day procedure, in which blood will be removed and treated with UV light and drugs that activate when exposed to the light, killing cancer cells.

Stem cell transplant

In stem cell transplant  bone marrow is replaced with marrow from a healthy donor.

What is Eczema, what are the Symptoms, Causes, Types and Treatments?

Reddish spots, itching and wounds: know what is eczema, a skin problem with several causes and that has no cure, but that can be treated and prevented. Eczema is an inflammation of the skin that causes red spots, blisters and itching, resulting in coarse-looking lesions. This problem has no cure, but it is possible to have good control of the disease. For this, however, it is necessary to better understand what eczema is and how it develops, suggests dermatologist in Rajouri Garden. Also called dermatitis, eczema is more common in childhood, affecting 20% ​​of children at some point in life. However, symptoms tend to be more severe when they appear in adults - even though the prevalence of the problem is about 4% in this population. The appearance of damaged skin can lead to social damage due to fear of contamination - an effect felt even more significantly by children. However, eczema is not a contagious disease, so it cannot be spread from one person to another, explains skin specialist in Rajouri Garden. Symptoms of eczema The symptoms of eczema vary according to the type of the disease and the stage it is in (acute or chronic), and may appear and disappear periodically or last for long periods of time. Know the main ones: Reddish spots; Swollen and inflamed skin; Very intense itching; Water bubbles; Dryness; Flaking of the skin and scalp (dandruff); Cracks due to dryness; Rough and thicker skin; Wounds or ulcers; Increased sensitivity to hygiene and cleaning products. Depending on the type of eczema, symptoms can affect any part of the body, reappearing in different regions with each crisis. It is important to remember that the patient does not need to present all of them to characterize the problem. Causes of eczema The symptoms of eczema arise from damage to the corneal layer, which is on the surface of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and is our first protective barrier against the entry of disease-causing microorganisms, says dermatologist in Shastri Nagar. Because it is the most exposed, the horny layer is constantly suffering from environmental aggressions, such as the sun, wind, cold and scratches. In healthy skin, this layer is always renewing itself, with the replacement of old and damaged cells with new and functional cells, so that protection is maintained. However, in people with eczema, this cell renewal process is hindered by inflammation, which can happen for several reasons. The causes are not fully explained, but it is possible to highlight some of the most common: Genetic factors: such as the mutation of a gene that reduces the production of proteins important for the maintenance of the corneal layer; Dry skin: insufficient oil production due to genetics or others favors eczema; Predisposition to allergies: although eczema is not an allergic reaction, hypersensitivity of the immune system can contribute to the problem; Disorders of the immune system: flu, colds, nutritional deficiency, stress, inappropriate use of medicines, etc. may favor inflammatory responses to skin microorganisms; Contact irritation: when the skin is affected by certain substances that cause irritation or allergy. Eczema: a set of diseases When talking about eczema, we are not referring to a single disease, but to a set of problems of an inflammatory nature. According to skin specialist in Shastri Nagar, there are at least six pathologies considered eczema, which can vary according to their causes, symptoms and locations of the affected body: 1. Atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis It is the most common type of eczema and is related to allergies such as rhinitis and asthma. It usually arises from the second month of life onwards and manifests itself mainly in the face and in the folds of the arms and legs, with intense itching being the most prominent symptom. The condition can be aroused or aggravated by elements such as emotional tensions, climate changes, domestic allergens (mites, fungi, animal hair, etc.), wool clothing, among others. 2. Contact eczema or contact dermatitis> It arises when the patient comes into contact with materials or products capable of causing skin irritations or allergies, which especially affect hands, feet, neck and face. Some of the most frequent triggers are hair dye, nail polish, nail polish remover, aftershave lotion, fragrance hygiene items, nickel, some plants (poison ivy, mango peels etc.), rubber and latex (gloves, condoms, balloons, etc.) and insect repellents. This type of eczema is common in groups such as healthcare professionals, who often wash their hands with bactericidal soap and gel alcohol, and cleaning professionals, who constantly deal with abrasive products. 3. Nummular eczema or nummular dermatitis Of unknown cause, this type of eczema is characterized by coin-shaped patches, which have crusts and bubbles and can be distributed throughout the body. Nummular eczema is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those who have dry skin. 4. Stasis eczema or stasis dermatitis It is the inflammation of the skin located in the lower legs as a result of poor circulation, which compromises the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. It usually occurs in people who have varicose veins and suffer from lower limb swelling. 5. Dyshidrotic eczema or dyshidrosis It is characterized by the appearance of red and liquid-filled bubbles on the palms of the hands, on the sides of the fingers or on the soles of the feet. This type of eczema is more frequent in adolescents and young adults and is usually caused by mycosis, emotional tension and contact dermatitis, among other factors. 6. Exfoliative eczema or exfoliative dermatitis It is a severe inflammation that brings risks to the patient's life because it causes redness, cracks and flaking of the entire surface of the skin, causing it to come off in large scales. It can also cause hair and nails to come off the body. Although the cause is mostly unknown, this type of eczema can be caused by some medications (such as antibiotics and barbiturates) or it can appear as a complication of other skin diseases, lymphomas and leukemias. Treatment of eczema The treatment of eczema is done according to the type of the disease, offering good control for symptoms. Medicines should be indicated by a dermatologist in Delhi and may include moisturizing or urea-based ointments, antiseptics for wounds, topical corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, among others. In the case of atopic or contact eczema, treatment and prevention also include measures to avoid exposure to allergens, materials and products known to cause symptoms. Knowing what eczema is and how it manifests is essential to be able to recognize its symptoms and seek medical attention. Although there is no cure, it is possible to have a good quality of life by following specific guidelines for each case.

‘I am destroyed’: Amitabh Bachchan mourns Rishi Kapoor’s death, the Akbar to his Athony - bollywood

https://www.liveindiatimes.com/i-am-destroyed-amitabh-bachchan-mourns-rishi-kapoors-death-the-akbar-to-his-athony-bollywood/

Amitabh Bachchan was devastated to learn of his contemporary actor and friend Rishi Kapoor’s death Thursday morning and  He tweeted, “He’s GONE .. ! Rishi Kapoor .. gone .. just passed away .. I am destroyed!” Amitabh and Rishi have worked together in several films, including Amar Akbar Anthony, Coolie,  Kabhie Kabhie, Naseeb, Ajooba and the recent 102 Not Out.

T 3517 – He’s GONE .. ! Rishi Kapoor .. gone .. just passed away .. I am destroyed !

— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) April 30, 2020

Here are their best films together…

Kabhi Kabhie (1976)

Late Yash Chopra presented the complexities of relationships in this film. While Amitabh Bachchan’s intense lover Amit was at the helm of affairs, Vikram (Rishi Kapoor) takes the baton from him in the second half. The highlight of the film is heated discussions between its primary characters.

Amar Akbar Anthony (1977)

One of the most entertaining films in the history of Bollywood, this one presented Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor as brothers who were separated in childhood. Vinod Khanna played the third brother. Director Manmohan Desai’s formula film is known for comic scenes and hit songs.

Naseeb (1981)

Manmohan Desai returned to his tried and tested recipe of glorious coincidences and cast Amitabh and Rishi as brothers who fall in love with two sisters. The film’s climax is a masterclass in handling many characters and doing justice to each of them.

Coolie (1983)

Prayag Raj and Manmohan Desai are credited as the directors of Coolie, but Desai’s heavy influence is evident on the film. Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor played cousins who reunite in the end keeping the tradition of happy endings alive.

Ajooba (1991)

Big B and Rishi Kapoor played associates who fight a tyrant in this film directed by Shashi Kapoor. Their pairing was the highlight of the film, but it didn’t work at the box office.

Rishi and Amitabh were also seen together in films like Delhi 6 and Om Shanti Om, but those were more like cameos.

Recently, Amitabh and Rishi were seen in 102 Not Out where they essayed the roles of father-son duo. Talking about the time when he bought an award to defeat Amitabh, Rishi had once revealed, “I am ashamed to say it, but I actually ‘bought’ that award. I was so naïve. There was this PRO, Taraknath Gandhi, who told me, ‘Sir, tees hazaar de do, toh aap ko main award dila doonga.’ I am not the manipulative sort but I admit that I gave him the money without thinking.”

Rishi died at 67 after a two-year-long battle with cancer. Rishi breathed his last at the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai. His wife and actor Neetu Kapoor was by his side. His brother Randhir Kapoor confirmed the news.  A statement from the family said, “Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last. He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him.”

“He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears. In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force. He would not have it any other way,” it added.

What is Eczema, what are the Symptoms, Causes, Types and Treatments?

Reddish spots, itching and wounds: know what is eczema, a skin problem with several causes and that has no cure, but that can be treated and prevented.

Eczema is an inflammation of the skin that causes red spots, blisters and itching, resulting in coarse-looking lesions. This problem has no cure, but it is possible to have good control of the disease. For this, however, it is necessary to better understand what eczema is and how it develops, suggests dermatologist in Rajouri Garden.

Also called dermatitis, eczema is more common in childhood, affecting 20% ​​of children at some point in life. However, symptoms tend to be more severe when they appear in adults - even though the prevalence of the problem is about 4% in this population.

The appearance of damaged skin can lead to social damage due to fear of contamination - an effect felt even more significantly by children. However, eczema is not a contagious disease, so it cannot be spread from one person to another, explains skin specialist in Rajouri Garden.

Symptoms of eczema

The symptoms of eczema vary according to the type of the disease and the stage it is in (acute or chronic), and may appear and disappear periodically or last for long periods of time. Know the main ones:

Reddish spots;

Swollen and inflamed skin;

Very intense itching;

Water bubbles;

Dryness;

Flaking of the skin and scalp (dandruff);

Cracks due to dryness;

Rough and thicker skin;

Wounds or ulcers;

Increased sensitivity to hygiene and cleaning products.

Depending on the type of eczema, symptoms can affect any part of the body, reappearing in different regions with each crisis. It is important to remember that the patient does not need to present all of them to characterize the problem.

Causes of eczema

The symptoms of eczema arise from damage to the corneal layer, which is on the surface of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and is our first protective barrier against the entry of disease-causing microorganisms, says dermatologist in Shastri Nagar.

Because it is the most exposed, the horny layer is constantly suffering from environmental aggressions, such as the sun, wind, cold and scratches. In healthy skin, this layer is always renewing itself, with the replacement of old and damaged cells with new and functional cells, so that protection is maintained.

However, in people with eczema, this cell renewal process is hindered by inflammation, which can happen for several reasons. The causes are not fully explained, but it is possible to highlight some of the most common:

Genetic factors: such as the mutation of a gene that reduces the production of proteins important for the maintenance of the corneal layer;

Dry skin: insufficient oil production due to genetics or others favors eczema;

Predisposition to allergies: although eczema is not an allergic reaction, hypersensitivity of the immune system can contribute to the problem;

Disorders of the immune system: flu, colds, nutritional deficiency, stress, inappropriate use of medicines, etc. may favor inflammatory responses to skin microorganisms;

Contact irritation: when the skin is affected by certain substances that cause irritation or allergy.

Eczema: a set of diseases

When talking about eczema, we are not referring to a single disease, but to a set of problems of an inflammatory nature. According to skin specialist in Shastri Nagar, there are at least six pathologies considered eczema, which can vary according to their causes, symptoms and locations of the affected body:

1. Atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis

It is the most common type of eczema and is related to allergies such as rhinitis and asthma. It usually arises from the second month of life onwards and manifests itself mainly in the face and in the folds of the arms and legs, with intense itching being the most prominent symptom.

The condition can be aroused or aggravated by elements such as emotional tensions, climate changes, domestic allergens (mites, fungi, animal hair, etc.), wool clothing, among others.

2. Contact eczema or contact dermatitis>

It arises when the patient comes into contact with materials or products capable of causing skin irritations or allergies, which especially affect hands, feet, neck and face.

Some of the most frequent triggers are hair dye, nail polish, nail polish remover, aftershave lotion, fragrance hygiene items, nickel, some plants (poison ivy, mango peels etc.), rubber and latex (gloves, condoms, balloons, etc.) and insect repellents.

This type of eczema is common in groups such as healthcare professionals, who often wash their hands with bactericidal soap and gel alcohol, and cleaning professionals, who constantly deal with abrasive products.

3. Nummular eczema or nummular dermatitis

Of unknown cause, this type of eczema is characterized by coin-shaped patches, which have crusts and bubbles and can be distributed throughout the body.

Nummular eczema is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those who have dry skin.

4. Stasis eczema or stasis dermatitis

It is the inflammation of the skin located in the lower legs as a result of poor circulation, which compromises the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. It usually occurs in people who have varicose veins and suffer from lower limb swelling.

5. Dyshidrotic eczema or dyshidrosis

It is characterized by the appearance of red and liquid-filled bubbles on the palms of the hands, on the sides of the fingers or on the soles of the feet.

This type of eczema is more frequent in adolescents and young adults and is usually caused by mycosis, emotional tension and contact dermatitis, among other factors.

6. Exfoliative eczema or exfoliative dermatitis

It is a severe inflammation that brings risks to the patient's life because it causes redness, cracks and flaking of the entire surface of the skin, causing it to come off in large scales. It can also cause hair and nails to come off the body.

Although the cause is mostly unknown, this type of eczema can be caused by some medications (such as antibiotics and barbiturates) or it can appear as a complication of other skin diseases, lymphomas and leukemias.

Treatment of eczema

The treatment of eczema is done according to the type of the disease, offering good control for symptoms. Medicines should be indicated by a dermatologist in Delhi and may include moisturizing or urea-based ointments, antiseptics for wounds, topical corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, among others.

In the case of atopic or contact eczema, treatment and prevention also include measures to avoid exposure to allergens, materials and products known to cause symptoms.

Knowing what eczema is and how it manifests is essential to be able to recognize its symptoms and seek medical attention. Although there is no cure, it is possible to have a good quality of life by following specific guidelines for each case.
