The God Children of Ana Chapter 9: Opprobrium
The Locolichi king was getting desperate at this point for a god child that actually looked like a Locolichi. In a fit of frustration he went ahead with the creation of another child, even not asking Melalo for advice this time. Scientists aboard the space station housing the formaerem samples highly advised against starting another infusion event for at least a few days, but the Locolichi king ignored their warnings and threatened their livelihoods to get them to comply.
He paid the price for not heeding their warnings.
The infusion event was started on the spot of the Keshali moon they had used for the past few events, the most structurally stable point where the moon would be least likely to fall apart from the force. What the king didn’t care to notice was that the specific point was pointed directly at the Locolichi homeworld at the time, and so the relativistic jet created by the formaerem infusion seared part of the planet. The destruction was immense and the death toll was high. The planet even heated up and certain parts of the planet became inhospitable to life.
This was the final nail in the coffin that irreparably destroyed the king’s reputation. Nearly every single person hated him at that point and supporters of the Locolichi king became few and far between. What was once several retaliatory groups were coming together to form a revolution.
The new god child created was named Lolmischo and he was put in charge of one of the two continents left that didn’t already have a god child CEO. He was the most disgusting child thus far, resembling what could be described as an eyeless earthen rat with the body shape of a seal, a trunk with a three fingered hand, and lips that could be flipped back to reveal nightmarish teeth, but his skin was what made him so revolting. It was red and raw looking and covered in sebaceous oils, massive yellow cysts and ingrown hairs churning with his diseases he generated. Spilt from his skin secretions, Lolmischo’s pathogens were all lethal skin diseases that caused everything from rashes that made victims itch themselves to death to turning skin cells into nerve cells and causing death via shock. The worst was the “Cyst Plague” where infected grew massive painful cysts across the body full of a flesh eating bacteria that would fill the cysts up with so much pus and gas that victims eventually exploded in a gory shower.
Lolmischo’s diseases were incredibly hard to avoid even in comparison to his siblings entirely due to his aquatic habits. While Lilyi was also similarly at home in water, she had to directly infect individuals and create patient zeros. It was how Lolmischo oozed his diseases that made it so difficult. Entire water bodies would be choked with rancid oils and pus when he moved through them, and a good chunk of these diseases were able to survive water treatment methods. Meaning that on the continent he ruled, safe water was hard to come by.
Lolmischo didn’t satisfy the Locolichi king and soon after he was established he underwent preparations for another god child. The King was getting incredibly desperate for both a “proper” god child but also a powerful enough army to defend him against 90% of his planet’s population as most of his military had abandoned him…
First chapter, Previous chapter, Next chapter
———————————-
This is probably the grossest and most “Bogleech” God child thus far.

How to Shrink and Reduce the Appearance of Large Pores
Pores are supported by a collagen-rich structure that keeps them in place. This structure is made up of collagen and glycosaminoglycans in the deeper layers of the skin.
If the support structure weakens due to age or environmental factors, the pores can sag, dilate, and become more visible.
How to Strengthen the Support Structure:
Protect What You Have: The main enemy of collagen is UV radiation from the sun, which breaks down collagen and damages the support structure. Sunscreen (broad-spectrum, SPF 30 or higher) applied regularly can prevent UV damage, maintaining the strength of the support system.
Boost Collagen Production: Use skincare ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and niacinamide, which are known to stimulate collagen production. Treatments like microneedling and dermaplaning can also promote collagen production in the skin.
2. Excess Sebum (Oil) Production
Sebaceous glands produce oil that moves through the pores.
When excess oil is produced, it enlarges the bowl-shaped structure at the base of the pore, causing the pore to dilate and become more visible.
How to Control Oil Production:
Use products containing niacinamide, which research shows can regulate sebum production.
Limit sugar intake. High sugar consumption increases insulin levels, which stimulates oil production. Reducing sugar can help keep oil levels in check.
3. Clogged Pores
When pores become clogged with dirt, dead skin cells, excess oil, and makeup, the bowl-like structure of the pore enlarges.
This causes the pore opening to become more noticeable.
How to Unclog Pores:
Remove Makeup Thoroughly: Always remove makeup at the end of the day to prevent clogged pores.
Avoid Comedogenic Ingredients: Be cautious of skincare products containing ingredients that may clog pores (comedogenic ingredients).
Cleanse Regularly: Regular cleansing helps remove dirt and oil from the skin's surface.
Exfoliate with BHA: Use a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) like salicylic acid regularly. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, unclogging them by removing dirt and oil from the inside.
4. Imbalanced Keratinization
Keratinization is the process by which new skin cells are produced and old cells are shed.
When this process slows down, old skin cells remain on the surface, causing pores to appear larger as the skin thickens.
How to Normalize Keratinization:
Exfoliate Regularly: Use chemical exfoliants like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids), such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells and promote smoother skin.
Boost Cell Turnover: Retinoids are effective in speeding up cell turnover, ensuring that new skin cells are formed regularly and old cells are removed efficiently.
5. Avoid Squeezing Pores
Physically squeezing or manipulating pores can make them appear larger. While it may be tempting to pop blackheads or squeeze pores, this can actually stretch and distort the pore, making it look worse.
What to Do Instead:
Avoid touching or squeezing your pores. Instead, stick to proper cleansing and exfoliation routines to keep them clear and healthy.
Bonus Tip: Hormonal Fluctuations During Menstruation
During menstruation, increased levels of progesterone can stimulate oil production, leading to clogged pores. This can make the pores appear larger.
How to Manage Hormonal Breakouts:
Cleanse your face regularly during this time, and ensure you're exfoliating with a BHA to prevent clogged pores.
Recap: How to Shrink the Appearance of Large Pores
Strengthen the Support Structure: Protect your skin with sunscreen and boost collagen production with ingredients like retinoids, niacinamide, and vitamin C.
Control Sebum Production: Use niacinamide and reduce sugar intake to prevent excess oil production.
Unclog Pores: Remove makeup, avoid comedogenic ingredients, cleanse regularly, and exfoliate with a BHA like salicylic acid.
Balance Keratinization: Regularly exfoliate and use retinoids to maintain smooth skin and prevent old cells from clogging pores.
Avoid Squeezing Pores: Leave your pores alone and let proper skincare routines do the work.
By addressing these five causes of enlarged pores, you can significantly reduce their appearance and enjoy smoother, clearer skin.

How PRP Hair Treatment Boosts Scalp Health & Hair Follicles
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Many people experiencing hair thinning or hair loss struggle with poor scalp health, which can weaken hair follicles and hinder new growth. PRP hair treatment has emerged as an effective solution to rejuvenate the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and promote natural hair regrowth. In this blog, we will explore how PRP therapy works and how it enhances scalp health to restore strong, beautiful hair.
Understanding PRP Hair Treatment
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical, natural treatment that utilizes the healing properties of a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. These platelets contain essential growth factors that play a crucial role in cell regeneration and tissue healing.
How PRP Hair Treatment Improves Scalp Health
Increases Blood Circulation
Poor blood circulation to the scalp can result in weak and undernourished hair follicles. PRP injections enhance blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots, which supports healthy hair growth.
Reduces Scalp Inflammation
Inflammation is a common cause of hair loss and thinning. Conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis can contribute to an unhealthy environment for hair follicles. The growth factors in PRP help reduce inflammation, creating an optimal environment for hair regrowth.
Encourages Collagen Production
Collagen is essential for maintaining the strength and elasticity of the scalp. PRP stimulates collagen production, which improves scalp texture, enhances hydration, and strengthens hair follicles.
Revitalizes Dormant Hair Follicles
Hair follicles that have become dormant due to aging, stress, or hormonal imbalances can be reactivated with PRP therapy. The treatment signals these follicles to enter the active growth phase (anagen phase), promoting thicker, fuller hair.
Regulates Oil Production
An imbalanced scalp, whether too dry or excessively oily, can contribute to hair loss. PRP helps regulate the sebaceous glands, maintaining a balanced scalp environment that supports healthy hair.
How PRP Strengthens Hair Follicles
Extends the Hair Growth Phase
Hair grows in cycles, and one of the key benefits of PRP therapy is its ability to prolong the anagen (growth) phase. This results in stronger, healthier, and longer-lasting hair strands.
Reduces Hair Shedding
Excessive hair shedding can be distressing. PRP strengthens the hair roots, reducing hair fall and improving hair density over time.
Provides Essential Growth Factors
The platelets in PRP release vital proteins like epidermal growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, and vascular endothelial growth factors. These components work together to enhance the structure of hair follicles and encourage regrowth.
Improves Hair Thickness & Strength
Many individuals with hair thinning notice that their hair strands become finer and weaker. PRP therapy improves the thickness and resilience of individual hair strands, making them less prone to breakage.
What to Expect During PRP Hair Treatment
PRP therapy is a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Here’s what you can expect:
Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is taken from the patient’s arm.
Processing: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles.
Recovery: There is minimal downtime, and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of PRP sessions required depends on the severity of hair loss and individual response to treatment. A typical treatment plan includes:
3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for initial stimulation
Maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months for sustained results
Most patients notice improvements in hair thickness and scalp health within 3 to 6 months after starting PRP hair treatment.
Is PRP Hair Treatment Safe?
Since PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or serious side effects is minimal. Some patients may experience mild redness or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects subside within a day or two.
Why Choose Cutis Hospital for PRP Hair Treatment?
At Cutis Hospital, we provide advanced PRP therapy tailored to individual hair loss concerns. Our team of skilled dermatologists ensures safe and effective treatment, using state-of-the-art techniques to deliver the best results.
Conclusion
PRP hair treatment is a revolutionary approach to boosting scalp health and strengthening hair follicles naturally. By improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and revitalizing dormant follicles, PRP offers a safe and effective solution for hair thinning. If you are struggling with hair loss, book a consultation at Cutis Hospital to explore how PRP therapy can help restore your hair and confidence.

What's in Your Hair? Unpacking the Mystery of What Hair is Made Of

We all know that hair is a big part of our daily lives. It's not just something that grows on our heads, but it's also something that we utilize to flaunt ourselves and what we are. But what does hair consist of? In this blog, we will go deep into the science behind hair and provide the answer to the question, "What is hair made of?"
What Is Hair Made Of?
In its most basic form, hair is made up of proteins, one of them being the protein called keratin. Keratin is a tough and resilient protein that makes up the structure of hair, nails, and skin. It's the same protein that is also found in cows' and rhinoceroses' horns. But there's more to the story than protein—there are also a number of other ingredients that make up hair. The most common are lipids, which are fats and waxes that help to give hair its structure and shine. Hair also has minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which fortify hair and give it a healthy, shiny look. All of these elements come together to form the shape of a single strand of hair. But there is so much more to learn about the science of hair, so let's take a more in-depth look at some of the most crucial elements.
Disulfide Bonds and Hair
One of the most important structures of hair is the disulfide bond. Disulfide bonds are a form of chemical bond that is formed between sulfur atoms, and they're what gives hair its strength and elasticity. They're basically the reason hair's strong enough not to break when it's brushed or styled. Disulfide bonds also play a role in the shape of curly or wavy hair. The hair curls when the disulfide bonds take the shape of a zig-zag. When the disulfide bonds are broken or weakened, the hair goes straight and loses curl.
The Hair Follicle
The hair follicle is the organ of the hair. It is composed of a blend of cells, including stem cells, keratinocytes, and melanocytes. The stem cells give rise to new hair, while the keratinocytes generate the keratin that makes up the hair shaft. Finally, the melanocytes generate melanin, which is the pigment used to color the hair. The hair follicle is also responsible for the hair growth cycle. When the follicle grows, it propels the hair out of the scalp, thereby you see new hair growing out from your head.
Hair Structure
Now that we understand what the hair follicle is and what it does, let's examine the composition of a single strand of hair. One strand of hair consists of three layers: the inner layer, the middle layer, and the outer layer. The inner layer is the cortex, the thickest layer that's made up of lipids and proteins. The cortex gives hair strength and elasticity. The middle layer is the medulla, made up of air cells, which gives shape to the hair. Finally, the outer layer is the cuticle, made up of overlapping cells that gives the hair protection from injury.
What Is the Role of the Hair Matrix?
The hair matrix is the area at the bottom of the hair follicle from which new hairs develop. It is a composition of cells with some being stem cells, melanocytes, and sebaceous glands. The stem cells in the hair matrix are the ones that actually produce new hair. They divide and grow to form new cells, which are then pushed out of the matrix and upwards through the hair follicle to form new hair. The melanocytes found in the matrix are the source of melanin, which is the color pigment of hair. The sebaceous glands are also the source of sebum, an oily discharge that maintains hair and scalp health.
The Process of Hair Maturing
Once new hair is formed in the matrix, it begins to undergo maturation. Here, the hair shaft's lipids and proteins are changed in order to endow the hair with its texture, flexibility, and strength. The maturation process also involves the formation of side bonds, which are chemical bonds between the protein molecules within the hair shaft. Side bonds add strength and elasticity to the hair as well as to the shape of wavy and curly hair.
Hair Composition
Now that we’ve taken a look at the structure and the maturing process of hair, let’s take a look at the composition of a single strand of hair. A single strand of hair is made up of approximately 85% protein and 15% lipids. Hair has proteins that are made up of amino acids, and the most common amino acid is cysteine. Cysteine helps to make hair elastic and robust, and it's required for forming disulfide bonds. The hair has lipids that are made up of fatty acids, and the most common fatty acid is oleic acid. Oleic acid helps to make hair shiny and prevents hair from becoming brittle and cracking.
Side Bonds in Hair
Side bonds refer to chemical bonds among the protein molecules in the hair shaft. They play a role in the elasticity and strength of the hair, as well as the structure of wavy and curly hair. Side bonds happen when sulfur atoms in cysteine molecules become bonded with one another. This creates a heat-stable, heat-resistant, and styling-resistant bond that renders the hair strong and resistant.
The Outermost Layer of Hair
The outermost layer of the hair is the cuticle, which is made up of overlapping cells that protect the hair from damage. The cuticle protects the hair from drying out and becoming brittle and breaking. Moreover, the cuticle helps the hair to shine and be lustrous. When the cuticle is intact, it reflects light back, giving a shiny appearance. When the cuticle is broken, it becomes dull and lifeless.
Hair Is Made of Keratin
At its core, hair is made up of keratin, a tough and resilient protein. Keratin is the same exact protein that makes up the horns of cows and rhinoceroses, and it's the same exact protein that makes up our nails, skin, and hair. Keratin is made up of amino acids, and the most common amino acid is cysteine. Cysteine makes the hair strong and elastic, and it is also required to form disulfide bonds. Disulfide bonds give shape to hair, and they also help keep hair strong and durable. Conclusion We hope that this blog has provided an answer to the question, "What is hair made of?" Hair consists of proteins, lipids, minerals, and side bonds, and all of these components come together to create the structure of one strand of hair. At its core, though, is hair made up of keratin, a tough and resilient protein that makes up animals' horns as well as the material our nails, skin, and hair are made of.

What Are Oculoplastics and Orbit Diseases? Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Oculoplastics is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the medical and surgical management of the eye, eyelids, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures. Oculoplastic surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, from cosmetic concerns to complex diseases affecting the eyes and their supporting structures. Orbit and external eye diseases encompass conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the bones and tissues around the eyes, which can cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns, and potential vision problems.
Common Oculoplastics and Orbit Conditions
Several diseases and conditions affect the orbit and external eye structures, including:
Blepharoplasty: A surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the eyelids, often performed for cosmetic reasons or to treat vision problems caused by drooping eyelids (ptosis).
Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids): A condition where one or both upper eyelids droop, which can interfere with vision and cause cosmetic concerns.
Orbital Fractures: Breaks or fractures in the bones around the eye, often caused by trauma or injury. These can lead to pain, bruising, and possible vision problems.
Tear Duct Obstruction: Blockages or narrowing of the tear ducts can cause excessive tearing, eye irritation, and recurrent eye infections.
Eyelid Tumors: Both benign and malignant growths can affect the eyelids, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or sebaceous gland carcinoma.
Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves’ Orbitopathy): An autoimmune condition affecting the orbit that can lead to bulging eyes, double vision, and eyelid retraction.
Signs and Symptoms of Oculoplastics and Orbit Diseases
Symptoms of oculoplastics and orbit diseases vary depending on the condition but may include:
Drooping or Swollen Eyelids: Ptosis, puffiness, or swelling around the eyes may be present, often affecting vision or causing cosmetic concerns.
Pain or Discomfort Around the Eyes: Orbital fractures, infections, or inflammation can lead to pain, tenderness, or a feeling of pressure around the eye.
Excessive Tearing: Blocked tear ducts or eyelid conditions can cause excessive watering of the eyes.
Vision Changes: Double vision, blurry vision, or changes in eye alignment, particularly in cases of thyroid eye disease or orbital fractures.
Lumps or Growths: Visible lumps or bumps on the eyelids or around the eyes may be indicative of benign or malignant tumors.
Treatment Options for Oculoplastics and Orbit Diseases
Treatment for oculoplastic and orbit diseases depends on the specific condition and may include:
Surgical Procedures: Blepharoplasty for drooping eyelids, eyelid tumor removal, or orbital surgery for fractures or reconstruction.
Steroid Injections: Used to reduce inflammation and swelling, especially in conditions like thyroid eye disease.
Tear Duct Surgery: Surgical procedures to unblock or bypass obstructed tear ducts, often resolving excessive tearing.

Cyst Removal Operation: What You Need to Know - Skin Care Doctors
A cyst can form anywhere on your body, often creating a noticeable lump or bump under the skin. While many cysts are harmless, others can cause discomfort, pain, or even anxiety due to their appearance. If you've been diagnosed with a cyst that requires removal, understanding the procedure can help ease any concerns you may have. At Skin Care Doctors, we specialize in cyst removal operations that are safe, effective, and minimally invasive. In this blog, we’ll guide you through what a cyst is, when removal is necessary, and what to expect during the operation.

What is a Cyst? A cyst is a sac-like structure that can form within any tissue in the body. It may contain air, fluid, or semi-solid material. Cysts can develop for a variety of reasons, including infections, clogged glands, genetic conditions, or trauma. Common types of cysts include epidermoid cysts (often found on the skin), sebaceous cysts (linked to sebaceous glands), and pilonidal cysts (usually found near the tailbone). While many cysts are benign and don’t pose a health risk, some can grow in size or become infected, causing pain and discomfort. In such cases, removal may be necessary.
When Should You Consider a Cyst Removal? Not all cysts require removal. Many small, painless cysts can be left untreated unless they begin to cause symptoms. However, a cyst may need to be removed if it:
Becomes painful or inflamed: If a cyst is growing in size, tender to the touch, or inflamed, it may be time to consider removal. Infects or ruptures: An infected or ruptured cyst can cause severe pain and may require immediate medical intervention to prevent further complications. Affects appearance or self-esteem: In some cases, a cyst may be located in a visible area, such as the face or neck, and removal may be needed for aesthetic reasons. Grows rapidly: If you notice a cyst growing quickly, this could be a sign of an underlying issue, and it’s best to have it evaluated by a doctor. A consultation with a dermatologist or skincare professional is the best way to determine if a cyst removal operation is necessary.
The Cyst Removal Procedure The cyst removal procedure is typically quick, simple, and performed under local anesthesia. Here's what you can expect:
Consultation and Diagnosis Before scheduling a cyst removal operation, you will undergo a thorough consultation with one of our skilled professionals. The doctor will assess the cyst's size, location, and overall condition to determine the most appropriate treatment. Sometimes, an ultrasound or biopsy may be required to confirm the type of cyst and rule out any potential complications.
Pre-Procedure Preparation On the day of the procedure, the doctor will discuss the necessary steps with you. A local anesthetic will be applied to the area surrounding the cyst, ensuring that you feel no pain during the operation. The doctor may also provide you with instructions on how to prepare, such as avoiding certain medications or skincare products.
The Removal Process The cyst removal procedure generally involves the following steps:
Incision: The doctor will make a small incision over the cyst to access the sac. For most cysts, a small cut is all that is needed. Cyst Excision: The entire cyst, including its sac, is carefully removed from the surrounding tissue. Ensuring that the sac is completely removed helps prevent the cyst from returning. Closing the Wound: After removal, the doctor will either stitch up the incision or use adhesive strips to close the wound, depending on its size and location. In most cases, the stitches are dissolvable, so there is no need for removal afterward.
Recovery Cyst removal is a relatively low-risk procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. However, the area may be tender, and some swelling or bruising is expected. The doctor will provide you with aftercare instructions, which may include:
Keeping the wound clean and dry: It’s essential to follow proper hygiene to avoid infection. Taking prescribed medications: If necessary, the doctor may recommend pain relievers or antibiotics to reduce discomfort and prevent infection. Avoiding heavy activities: You may be advised to refrain from strenuous physical activities for a short time while the area heals. While most cyst removals heal without complications, it’s important to follow up with your doctor if you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus.
Risks and Complications Like any surgical procedure, cyst removal carries some risks, though serious complications are rare. Potential risks include:
Infection: If the wound is not properly cared for, an infection may develop. Scarring: While the incision is usually small, there may be some scarring, especially if the cyst is large. Recurrence: In rare cases, the cyst may grow back, especially if the entire sac was not removed during the procedure. Why Choose Skin Care Doctors? At Skin Care Doctors, we prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the cyst removal process. Our experienced dermatologists use advanced techniques to ensure that your procedure is as quick and painless as possible, with minimal scarring. We also provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and follow-up consultations to ensure a smooth recovery.
If you have a cyst that is causing discomfort or concerns, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us. Our team of professionals is here to help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin.
Conclusion A cyst removal operation can provide relief from discomfort and prevent further complications. With modern techniques, the procedure is quick, effective, and minimally invasive.

The natural aging process brought on by hereditary causes is called intrinsic aging, sometimes referred to as chronological aging. This kind of aging, which is unavoidable, comprises:
Reduced Production of Collagen: Collagen is a protein that gives skin its suppleness and structure. Collagen production declines with age, resulting in wrinkles and drooping.
Decreased Elastin: The skin keeps its shape thanks to elastin fibers. The skin loses its firmness and flexibility as we age because our bodies produce less elastin.
Skin Thinning: As people age, their skin's surface layer, or epidermis, becomes thinner, leaving them more vulnerable to injury and bruising.
Reduced Oil Production: As we age, our sebaceous glands generate less oil, which makes our skin drier and sometimes more irritable.
Extrinsic Aging
Extrinsic aging results from environmental factors and lifestyle choices that accelerate the natural aging process. Key contributors include:
Sun Exposure: Also known as photoaging, UV radiation from the sun is the main cause of premature skin aging. Wrinkles, pigmentation changes (like age spots), and an uneven skin tone are caused by sun exposure damaging collagen and elastin fibers. It's crucial to use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.
Pollution: Free radicals produced by environmental contaminants lead to oxidative stress in the skin. In addition to causing inflammation, this stress can hasten the decomposition of collagen and elastin.
Smoking: The toxic compounds in tobacco smoke break down collagen and elastin, causing early lines and a lifeless complexion. Smoking also deprives the skin of vital nutrients by decreasing blood flow to it.
Diet: Skin health can be adversely affected by inadequate nutrition. Glycation, a condition in which sugar molecules attach to proteins like collagen and cause stiffness and damage, can be brought on by diets heavy in processed foods and sugar.
Stress: Prolonged stress can alter hormones, which can have an impact on skin health. Inflammation brought on by elevated cortisol levels can worsen skin disorders like eczema or acne.
Sleep Deprivation: Lack of sleep impairs the body's capacity to heal itself overnight, which results in dreariness, dark circles under the eyes, and an increase in aging symptoms.
Hydration: Skin that is dehydrated looks lifeless and is more prone to fine wrinkles. Keeping well hydrated promotes the general health of the skin.
The Role of Hormones
Skin aging is also significantly influenced by hormonal changes, especially in women going through menopause when their estrogen levels drop. This decline may result in a loss of suppleness, increased dryness, and decreased collagen production.
Genetic Factors
Our skin's aging process is also influenced by our genes. It's possible that some people are genetically more likely than others to experience wrinkles or changes in their pigmentation sooner. Knowing your family's history can help you adjust your skincare regimen.
Managing Skin Aging
While you cannot stop the aging process entirely, there are several strategies you can adopt to manage its effects:
Sun Protection: Even on overcast days, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day.
Healthy Diet: Limit processed foods and sweets while increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats.
Frequent Exercise: By supplying oxygen and nutrients, physical activity improves circulation and supports healthy skin.
Hydration: To keep your skin moisturized, sip on lots of water throughout the day.
Skincare Routine:Use skincare products that contain retinoids (to encourage cell turnover), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate), peptides (to enhance collagen formation), and antioxidants (such vitamin C).
Professional Procedures: For specific anti-aging advantages, take into account procedures like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy provided by Bhanot Medspa.

How Cannabis Seeds Contribute to Healthy Hair Growth
Cannabis seeds, particularly those from the hemp variety, are gaining popularity not only for their nutritional value but also for their ability to support overall health. While cannabis is often discussed in terms of its recreational or medicinal use, the seeds of this plant are packed with essential nutrients that can have a profound impact on hair health. Whether consumed or applied topically, cannabis seeds offer a natural and effective way to improve hair quality and promote growth. This article delves deep into how cannabis seeds can contribute to healthier hair, the science behind their benefits, and how to incorporate them into your routine.
Understanding the Nutritional Profile of Cannabis Seeds
Hemp seeds are small but mighty, offering a treasure trove of nutrients that support various aspects of health, including hair growth. These seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, each of which plays a significant role in promoting a healthy scalp and strong hair.
Essential Fatty Acids
Cannabis seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, both of which are critical for maintaining a healthy scalp and encouraging the growth of strong hair. Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, are known to stimulate blood circulation to the scalp. Improved blood flow ensures that hair follicles receive adequate nourishment and oxygen, creating an environment conducive to hair growth. Omega-6 fatty acids, on the other hand, support hair strand strength and elasticity, reducing the likelihood of hair breakage and split ends.
High-Quality Proteins
Hair is primarily made of keratin, a fibrous protein that gives hair its structure. Cannabis seeds are rich in high-quality, plant-based proteins that contribute to hair growth and repair. By providing your body with the necessary amino acids, cannabis seeds help fortify hair follicles, promoting the production of strong, healthy hair while preventing thinning and hair loss.
Vitamins and Minerals
In addition to essential fatty acids and proteins, cannabis seeds are packed with a range of vitamins and minerals, all of which help nourish and protect the hair. Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, helps to repair damaged hair follicles, while also protecting them from oxidative stress, which can impede hair growth. Zinc plays a vital role in regulating the sebaceous glands in the scalp, ensuring proper oil production to keep the scalp moisturized and prevent dandruff. Magnesium supports hair texture and reduces hair fall, while iron contributes to healthy circulation, vital for nourishing hair follicles.
How Cannabis Seeds Stimulate Healthy Hair Growth
Enhancing Scalp Circulation
The benefits of cannabis seeds for hair growth start at the scalp. Omega-3 fatty acids in cannabis seeds help improve blood flow to the scalp, ensuring that the hair follicles receive a steady supply of nutrients and oxygen. This increased circulation helps stimulate hair growth by keeping the follicles active and promoting the production of new hair cells. Improved scalp circulation also helps soothe inflammation, which can sometimes impede hair growth.
Strengthening Hair Follicles
The proteins and amino acids found in cannabis seeds provide the building blocks for hair production. Hair follicles rely on these nutrients to produce healthy, strong hair strands. By supplying these nutrients directly to the follicles, cannabis seeds support their health and help them grow stronger, thicker hair. Regular consumption of cannabis seeds or topical applications of hemp seed oil can prevent the weakening of hair follicles, which is often responsible for hair thinning and breakage.
Reducing Hair Loss
Hair loss is a common issue that can stem from a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, poor diet, and scalp conditions. Cannabis seeds address many of these root causes. The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in cannabis seeds help regulate hormones, which can prevent hair thinning caused by hormonal changes. Additionally, zinc in cannabis seeds can strengthen the immune system and prevent hair loss due to scalp infections or inflammation. By promoting a balanced, healthy scalp, cannabis seeds can help combat hair loss from various sources.
Promoting Scalp Health
A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair, and cannabis seeds provide the nutrients needed to maintain scalp health. The essential fatty acids in cannabis seeds contribute to the production of natural oils that keep the scalp hydrated, preventing dryness and flakiness. The antioxidants in cannabis seeds, particularly vitamin E, also help protect the scalp from oxidative damage, ensuring a nourishing environment for hair follicles. The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis seeds further soothe irritated or inflamed scalps, reducing conditions like dandruff, which can hinder hair growth.
Ways to Incorporate Cannabis Seeds into Your Hair Care Routine
There are several practical ways to incorporate cannabis seeds into your hair care regimen. Whether you prefer internal consumption or topical applications, these seeds offer a versatile approach to supporting healthy hair growth.
1. Including Hemp Seeds in Your Diet
One of the easiest and most effective ways to benefit from cannabis seeds is by incorporating them into your diet. Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, roasted, or added to smoothies, salads, or baked goods. When consumed regularly, these seeds provide your body with essential nutrients, which are then utilized to support healthy hair growth from the inside out. Adding hemp seeds to your meals is a simple and delicious way to improve hair health.
2. Using Hemp Seed Oil for Hair Care
Hemp seed oil, extracted from cannabis seeds, is a popular product in the beauty industry due to its rich nutritional content. Hemp seed oil can be used as a hair oil or scalp treatment to hydrate the scalp and improve hair health. By massaging hemp seed oil into your scalp, you can boost blood circulation, reduce scalp dryness, and promote the strength of hair follicles. Regular use of hemp seed oil helps improve hair texture, prevent split ends, and add shine to your hair.
3. DIY Hemp Seed Hair Masks
For more intensive hair care, you can create a nourishing hair mask using hemp seed oil. Combine it with other moisturising ingredients like honey, avocado, or coconut oil to create a rich, hydrating treatment for your hair. Apply the mixture to your scalp and hair, leave it on for about 20–30 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. This deep-conditioning treatment helps to restore moisture to dry, brittle hair while promoting stronger, healthier hair growth.
4. Using Topical Hemp Seed Infused Products
Many hair care products now feature hemp seed oil or cannabis seed extracts as key ingredients. Shampoos, conditioners, and serums containing hemp seed oil are formulated to deliver the essential nutrients directly to the hair and scalp. These products can help enhance the benefits of cannabis seeds, including promoting hair growth, improving texture, and reducing scalp irritation.
5. Hemp Seed Supplements
If you prefer a more convenient option, hemp seed supplements provide a concentrated dose of the nutrients found in cannabis seeds. Available in the form of capsules, powders, or oils, these supplements allow you to enjoy the benefits of cannabis seeds without having to incorporate them into your meals directly. Taking hemp seed supplements regularly can help nourish your hair from the inside, ensuring optimal growth and strength.
The Scientific Basis Behind Cannabis Seeds and Hair Growth
While research on cannabis seeds and hair growth is still in its early stages, existing studies provide compelling evidence supporting their benefits. Several studies have highlighted the role of fatty acids, proteins, and antioxidants in supporting hair health.
Omega Fatty Acids and Hair Follicles
Research has shown that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can significantly impact hair growth. A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science confirmed that these essential fatty acids promote hair follicle stimulation, improving the growth phase of the hair cycle. By incorporating omega-rich foods like cannabis seeds into your diet, you can improve the health of your scalp and hair follicles, resulting in stronger, more vibrant hair.
Protein and Keratin Production
Keratin, the protein that makes up the majority of your hair structure, is essential for healthy hair. The amino acids found in cannabis seeds contribute directly to keratin production, supporting hair growth and strength. A study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences emphasized the importance of protein for follicular health and hair growth, making hemp seeds an excellent source of the building blocks needed for strong hair.
Antioxidants and Scalp Protection
Vitamin E, one of the key antioxidants in cannabis seeds, has been shown to protect hair follicles from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can damage hair follicles and disrupt hair growth. Research published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that vitamin E helps reduce the impact of oxidative damage on the scalp, which in turn supports healthy, uninterrupted hair growth.
Additional Benefits of Cannabis Seeds for Hair
Beyond stimulating hair growth, cannabis seeds offer several other benefits for overall hair health.
1. Hydrating and Conditioning Hair
Hemp seed oil serves as an excellent natural conditioner, keeping hair hydrated and soft. It helps lock in moisture, preventing dry, brittle hair. Regular use of hemp seed oil can leave your hair feeling smoother, shinier, and more manageable.
2. Preventing Dandruff and Scalp Irritation
The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis seeds can help reduce dandruff, itching, and other scalp conditions. By calming irritation and providing nourishment, cannabis seeds help maintain a healthy scalp, which is essential for optimal hair growth.
3. Improving Hair Texture
Incorporating cannabis seed oil into your hair care routine can help smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing the natural texture of your hair. The result is healthier, shinier hair that looks and feels great.
Conclusion
Cannabis seeds are a rich and powerful source of nutrients that can significantly contribute to healthy hair growth. Their high content of essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger, and more resilient hair. Whether consumed in your diet, applied as hemp seed oil, or used in hair masks and products, cannabis seeds offer a natural and effective solution for promoting healthy hair.
By incorporating cannabis seeds into your daily routine, you can unlock their full potential to nourish your scalp, stimulate hair growth, and enhance the overall quality of your hair. Embrace the power of these tiny seeds and enjoy the benefits of beautiful, healthy hair.

Lipoma Treatment at SurgiKure in Visakhapatnam And Vijayawada
Lipoma Treatment - Diagnosis, Procedure and Recovery
Have you been dealing with a fatty lump that isn’t going away? It could be a benign tumor called lipoma. Lipomatosis are skin-colored lumps that can appear anywhere on your body and can cause cosmetic and medical concerns. At SurgiKure, we provide safe and effective lipoma treatment through traditional and modern, minimally invasive techniques. Book a consultation with our expert plastic and cosmetic surgeons to seek proper treatment and undergo lipoma surgery if necessary.
What is Lipomas & Their Removal
Lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are made up of fat cells. These fatty lumps are located just below the skin and are usually soft, movable, and painless. A lipoma can occur anywhere on the body where fat cells are present, but they are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs. The exact cause of lipomas is still unknown, but they are thought to have a genetic component and may be more common in individuals with a family history of lipomas. They can also be associated with certain medical conditions such as adiposis dolorosa and Gardner’s syndrome. Most lipomas do not require treatment unless they are causing discomfort, interfering with movement, or affecting a person’s self-esteem. However, if necessary, lipomas can be removed through certain medications and surgical procedures, such as excision, liposuction, and minimally invasive techniques.
Lipoma Diagnosis
When diagnosing a lipoma, it’s important to consider other conditions that may have similar characteristics. While lipomas are usually easily recognizable due to their specific features, there are a few conditions that can mimic lipomas, such as epidermal exclusion cysts, sebaceous cysts, neurofibromas, dermatofibromas, liposarcomas, etc.The diagnosis of lipomas is typically made based on a physical examination and medical history, as they have distinct characteristic features that are usually recognizable. However, in certain cases, it may be difficult to distinguish lipomas from other conditions. If so, the following diagnostic tests will be performed to confirm lipomas:
Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and CT (Computed Tomography) scans are commonly used imaging techniques to evaluate lipomas. These tests help to determine the size, location, depth, and consistency of the lipoma. They also help to assess the surrounding tissues and structures, such as the vascularity of the fatty lumps.Biopsy: In certain cases, a biopsy may be recommended if the surgeon suspects that it may be a malignant tumor (liposarcoma) resembling a lipoma. During a biopsy, a sample of the tissue is extracted and examined under a microscope to look for cancerous cells and differentiate between a benign lipoma and liposarcoma.These diagnostic tests may not be necessary for all cases. The need for further testing depends on the individual circumstances and the presence of worrisome symptoms.

The Science of Skin Microbiome

The Science of Skin Microbiome
How it affects skin health
The intricate and interesting ecology known as the skin microbiome is essential to preserving the health of the skin. We are the best in PRP Treatment in Model Town, New Delhi's Dermac Clinic. We recognize the significance of this microbial community and how it affects a range of skin disorders. The science behind the skin microbiome, its roles, and how they affect skin health are all covered in this blog.
Understanding the Skin Microbiome
Trillions of microbes, including bacteria, fungus, viruses, and archaea, make up the skin microbiome. These microorganisms live in various skin regions and create distinct communities that are adapted to their particular surroundings. The following are the three main skin microenvironments:
Sebaceous (oily): Propionibacterium species predominate and are seen on the face and scalp.
Moist: Home to Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus, found in places like the groin and armpits.
Dry: Found on the limbs, including a variety of microbiological communities.
These microbial populations serve as a barrier against infections and support skin homeostasis.
The Role of the Skin Microbiome in Skin Health
1. Barrier Function
Through the production of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes that inhibit dangerous microorganisms, the skin microbiome improves the skin's barrier function. For example, the common commensal bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis generates chemicals that inhibit the colonization of harmful germs such as Staphylococcus aureus. The microbial environment is kept in balance by this competitive exclusion.
2. Immune System Modulation
The immune system and the skin microbiota are intimately related. Commensal bacteria increase tolerance to benign germs while teaching immune cells to identify dangerous infections. Eczema and psoriasis are two inflammatory skin disorders that must be avoided because of this connection.
3. Influence on Skin Conditions
An unbalanced skin microbiome, or dysbiosis, can cause a number of dermatological problems. Studies have connected dysbiosis to illnesses like:
Acne: Cutibacterium acnes overgrowth can block pores and cause irritation.
Atopic Dermatitis: A disturbed microbiota may weaken the skin's protective layer, making a person more vulnerable to allergens.
Psoriasis: Variations in the makeup of microbes can make an inflammatory chronic illness worse.
Factors Affecting the Skin Microbiome
The skin microbiome's makeup is influenced by various external and intrinsic causes.
Intrinsic Factors
Genetics: Microbial diversity can be determined by an individual's genetic composition.
Age: As skin ages, microbial communities are impacted by changes in skin structure.
Hormones: Changes in hormone levels can impact sebum production and microbiological development.
Extrinsic Factors
Environment: Compared to rural areas, urban living frequently results in less microbial diversity.
Diet: Via the gut-skin axis, dietary decisions can influence gut microbiota, which in turn influences skin health.
Hygiene Practices: Using strong cleansers or over-washing can upset the skin microbiome's natural equilibrium.
Maintaining a Healthy Skin Microbiome
At Dermac Clinic, we emphasize strategies for nurturing your skin's microbial health:
1. Gentle Cleansing
Make use of gentle cleansers that preserve your skin's natural oils. Steer clear of antibacterial soaps since they may interfere with good bacteria.
2. Probiotics and Prebiotics
Probiotics can assist your gut microbiota get back in balance, which can indirectly improve your skin. See a healthcare provider before taking any supplements or looking for foods high in probiotics, such as yogurt.
3. Balanced Diet
Consuming a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and other nutrients promotes general health and may have a favorable impact on your skin microbiota.
4. Avoid Overuse of Antibiotics
Antibiotics can upset the microbiomes of the skin and the stomach, so only use them when absolutely necessary.
Conclusion
The science behind the skin microbiome shows how important it is to keeping skin healthy. With knowledge of this intricate ecosystem's workings and its interactions with our bodies, we may choose skincare regimens that support equilibrium and well-being.
GFC Treatment in Model Town at our Dermac Clinic, we're committed to providing you with individualized care that takes into account the specific makeup of your microbiome in order to help you reach optimal skin health. You can take advantage of healthier, more robust skin for years to come by supporting a balanced microbiota and nourishing your skin's natural defenses.
