Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin conditions, and it has been widely studied over the years, resulting in the development of effective treatments and management strategies. However, nail psoriasis is frequently overlooked, despite its significant disease burden, and there is notably less information available on the condition and treatment options.
JAK Inhibitors and Adverse Events of Acne
Inflammatory skin conditions—such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea—affect an estimated 20-25% of the global population. As such, there are myriad treatment strategies to prevent inflammatory reactions in the skin; however, some of these methods may actually exacerbate other skin conditions, and should therefore be used with caution.
Proper Management of Atopic Dermatitis
The study of our skin and the conditions that affect it is perpetually ongoing, with new discoveries and treatment methodologies coming to light every year. As such, the standardized guidelines for care must be regularly updated, particularly for conditions that affect significant percentages of the population and are being actively researched.
The Ongoing Stigma of Acne
Between the ages of 12 and 24, it is estimated that 85% of people will experience acne in some form, making it one of the most common skin disorders. Even so, there remains a persistent and unfair social stigma against those with acne, in some cases making it harder for them to navigate the realms of employment, friendship or romance.
The Bidirectional Link Between IBD and Rosacea
A new report published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology suggests a connection between Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and rosacea. Basically, having IBD puts you at higher risk for rosacea, while having rosacea similarly increases your risk of IBD. This bidirectional association requires additional study for verification, but it offers new insight into the interconnectivity of systemic health conditions.
Atopic Dermatitis and Bullying
The uncomfortable experience of atopic dermatitis at any stage of life can be challenging, but young people, in particular, are more likely to experience bullying if they show symptoms of this common form of eczema. Fortunately, there are skincare interventions that can both prevent and treat flareups, reducing the likelihood of such unkind treatment from peers and the potential effects on mental health and self-image.
Preparation and Recovery for Photodynamic Therapy with Hyaluronic Acid
For the non-invasive treatment of various skin disorders and damage from excess sun exposure, Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a reliable and convenient remedy. When combined with hyaluronic acid for moisturizing and rejuvenating our body's largest organ, this increasingly popular therapy can significantly improve the appearance of your skin.
Rosacea From Infrared Heat and How Hyaluronic Acid Can Help
For the more than 15 million people with rosacea in America alone, understanding one's individual triggers for the disease is critical. While sunlight exposure is perhaps the most well-known cause, recent research has shown that high temperatures and infrared heat itself can be reliable predictors for that unwanted blush of rosacea.
The Correlation of Psychology and Skin Health: How Hyaluronic Acid Can Help
The mind-body connection is evident in many aspects of our physiology, particularly in the skin—our body's largest organ. Mental health affects the appearance of our skin, and skin conditions in turn affect our psychological wellness. Understanding this cyclical relationship and managing both sides can be challenging, but there are plenty of tools and techniques that can help.
The Financial Burden of Chronic Hand Eczema
There is often an emotional toll associated with chronic health conditions, particularly when there is no known cure, but the economic toll of regular treatment can exacerbate an already challenging diagnosis. Even for common or seemingly benign conditions, such as chronic hand eczema (or hand dermatitis), the financial burden of managing the symptoms can be significant.
