Answering yes to eczema, psoriasis, and/or rosacea does not mean you don't have any other skin conditions, those are just the main focus of this poll.

Acne is separated from "another skin condition" just because it's so common that I suspect separating it will yield more useful responses about other, less common/less known skin conditions.

POV : you find the best spot in the library ( I can see these beautiful trees from the windows and that’s the definition of best spot for me) 🌲

Also dermatology is giving a hard time these days 🙂‍↕️

Ola Ziadeh, 28, held up her two-year-old son Adam Ziadeh's shirt to reveal red bumps and scabs all over his stomach and chest. The little boy screamed in pain at the sudden movement. The welts on his skin swelled large, covered with the deep red of dried blood.  Adam's condition started with what looked like a pimple on his nose that seemed innocuous at the time. But soon after, the blisters spread to his neck and chest. Then his sister, Handa, 3, also got the rash. Ziadeh rushed to Nasser Hospital for help and was told her children had to have an IV drip to fight an infection.  "We're seeing a high prevalence of skin lesions and skin infections. This is bullous impetigo," Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, director of pediatrics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, told CBC freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife.  "This is due to lack of hygiene, personal hygiene, lack of materials for washing, material for disinfectant, a lack of soap, lack of good water, bad sanitation."

May have just figured out why the lesions have been getting worse! I got the new bottle in early December.

TL;DR, sulfate-free cleansers tend to require more scrubbing for effective cleaning/rinsing. This isn't good for people with skin conditions that are aggravated by friction. Which is, practically-speaking, most people with skin conditions!

And since this cleanser is marketed towards people with "Itchy, Dry Skin" (major symptom of eczema), reviews since the formula change in November have been almost 100% negative. Most reviewers aren't sure why it's now irritating their skin, but they know that it is.

(Notably, in my case, hidradenitis suppurativa-affected hair follicles can easily become inflamed to the size of a thumbnail if the hair gets tugged on too hard. However, since HS also affects the skin's ability to fight off infection, failing to clean the area well enough is dangerous, too! Sulfate-free products are trying to kill me.)

Hey beautiful people! In today's video, I'm sharing my personal skincare treatment journey, specifically focusing on my under-eye maintenance routine. I get CO2 treatments under my eyes annually, paired with bi-annual Fraxel sessions.

Researchers have pinpointed a particular peptide’s role in activating atopic dermatitis, or eczema. The work could lead to more effective treatments for the condition. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition characterized by itching and irritated and thickened skin at the site of the irritation. The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a peptide, or short chain of amino acids, that is elevated in patients with AD. “BNP is expressed in sensory neurons, the neurons responsible for conveying sensation to the brain via the spinal cord,” says Santosh Mishra, associate professor of molecular biomedical sciences at North Carolina State University and corresponding author of the work. “We know from previous work that BNP helps translate the sensation of itch from the skin to the brain. In this work we wanted to see if BNP was involved in activating AD.”

Beauty is not defined by society's standards, but by the love and acceptance you have for yourself.

We were able to see how the dermoscopy is done today.

And then the hospital had a little activity promoting proper hand-washing, one of the nurses gave me and my friend hand-made heart-shaped soap 🧼♡

Exam prep this week

A lot of things to review before the exam , using my flash cards to keep all the treatments in mind ( that’s one of the hardest task in my opinion)

Dermatology is fun until you have to memorise all the details ✨
