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.

Nutraceuticals for Treating Acne
A broad review of recent research shows that a wide range of nutraceuticals have potentially positive effects for acne patients. Representing evidence from more than 3,300 patients and 42 independent studies, it was found that vitamin D, green tea extract, probiotics, pantothenic acid, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids all demonstrated significant effects in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
Atopic Dermatitis linked to higher risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
New research findings from UPenn's Perelman School of Medicine show that children and adults with atopic dermatitis are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with new-onset inflammatory bowel disease—ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Given the seriousness of an Inflammatory Bowel Disease diagnosis, these findings should inform and impact future treatment strategies for inflammatory autoimmune diseases affecting the skin.
