What is wart how it treated?

A person who is dealing with Wart understands how embarrassing a wart can be when it is located on a part of the body that is noticeable to others. A wart is a benign skin growth that looks and feels like a small, fleshy, grainy pea. it can appear almost anywhere on the body, but most commonly are found on the hands, fingers, and around the fingernails.

Who Gets Warts?

Warts can occur in people of all ages but occur most commonly in children and young adults. They spread by direct contact, simply by touching the wart. Warts normally resolve spontaneously but the time it takes for this resolution is variable. 

There are clinically 6 types of Wart:

• Common warts have a rather bumpy surface and appear most often on the hands and fingers.
• Flat or plane warts are small, smooth warts appearing in clusters on the back of the hands, face, or legs.
• Plantar warts are those appearing on the soles of the feet.
• Filiform warts form long, thin projections around the eyes, face, and neck.
• Periungual warts (Common in people who bite their nails) occur under and around the fingernails.
• Genital (venereal) warts are those appearing on the genitalia.

What causes warts?

Warts are caused by a family of viruses called human papillomavirus (HPV). Once infected with the virus, it may take up to a year or more for the wart to become visible. They then grow very slowly over a period of months to years.

Genital warts are caused by a different family type of HPV. These are sexually transmitted and can sometimes cause cervical and vulval cancer. Ordinary skin warts do not cause cancer.

Options for removing warts

Remember that a treatment plan needs to be discussed with the doctor or health care specialist.

Whatever the choice, remember that weekly treatments are usually needed, and it may be sometime before warts clear.

• Podophyllotoxin solution is a patient-applied treatment for external genital warts, recommended for men only as it is too difficult for women to self-apply.
• Cryotherapy (freezing off the wart with liquid nitrogen) by a trained health practitioner.
• Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a chemical applied to the surface of the wart by a trained health practitioner. It is unavailable in some DHBs.
• Laser therapy (using an intense light to destroy warts) or surgery (cutting off warts) has the advantage of getting rid of warts in a single visit. Laser treatment can be expensive and the health care provider must be well trained in these methods. 

If you think you might have a wart, you should show it to your doctor at your next visit to make sure it is a wart and to discuss treatment.  Consult with the skin specialist as soon as possible if your wart causes pain, bleeds easily, spreads easily to other areas of the body or comes back, contact with KEMPS skin clinic, Vaishali if you want the wart removed for cosmetic reasons. You also should see your doctor if you develop genital warts so they can be treated.

Why Heavy makeup is not good for face skin

Makeup is a woman's best friend. It exists to brighten your day, boost your ego, and make you feel confident on days when you would otherwise choose to hide inside far from sight. Makeup has the ability to make your skin look better. It can hide blemishes, acne and visually lift your skin without undergoing any surgery.

Makeup is a powerful thing. Makeup is an everyday item for many people and non-negotiable for some. Is it bad for our skin? As always, the answer is not clear-cut and depends on the individual, their skin type, and the products they use. 

What does makeup do to our skin?

While in most cases makeup is harmless, certain products may cause problems for some individuals. It’s very important to use makeup and cosmetics that are suitable for your skin type or skin condition.

Skin types are classified into four types:

• Oily Skin- Excess oil production, large pores, blackheads and acne prone
• Sensitive Skin- Tight, stinging, intolerant to many products and prone to redness
• Dry Skin - Dull, rough or flaky and prone to itchiness
• Normal/Combination Skin- may be oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) but problem-free elsewhere

You’re Makeup Routine:

While makeup doesn’t necessarily cause acne, it can definitely play a role in your skin’s health and appearance. Many who struggle with acne use makeup to cover up dark marks, pimples, and scars, but could this practice be worsening your acne condition? Not necessarily, but use caution to ensure your cosmetic routine doesn’t affect your skin’s health

You don’t use the right cleansing products

If you have dry skin, make sure that all of your cleaning products are formulated for your skin type. Choose a cleanser with ceramides, natural lipids that help skin restore and maintain its natural protective barrier.

Remove Your Makeup

If you are wearing makeup regularly, the most important task is removing it before bed or before intensive bouts of sweating, especially before heading to the gym.

Dr. Manju Keshari, Dermatologist at KEMPS Skin Clinic says that first step of cleansing can help remove even the heaviest layers of makeup, leaving your skin clean and clear and ready for the second step of treatment. It helps your skin to breathe well.

Skin allergies in winter and its treatment

Many winter allergens or irritants can result in allergic rhinitis or hay fever as it is more commonly known. Allergic rhinitis occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to a certain substance.

Sometimes the immune system incorrectly identifies substances or even parts of the body as a threat, causing an allergic skin reaction to occur. Here is a breakdown of a number of skin allergies:

Eczema: Eczema occurs when the skin doesn't retain enough moisture and becomes dry, itchy and inflamed. The skin is also scaly and cracked. Eczema is commonly found in the creases of the arms and legs. This chronic skin allergy goes through periods of flare-ups and remissions. Many people are born with a skin condition as a result of genetics or develop it during early childhood. This may be due to exposure to harmful chemicals or allergens. While most children outgrow their eczema, some retain it throughout adulthood.

Dermatographia: Dermatographia or "skin writing", Occurs when the mast cells in the skin produce too much histamine. The histamine is released with any form of stimulation or pressure applied to the skin. What results is inflammation and itchiness of the skin? The reaction can be identified as white or red inflamed lines on the skin.

Hives: Similar to dermatographia, hives or urticaria is a skin allergy that produces raised wheels in the skin. These wheels may vary in size; they are accompanied by itchiness and commonly occur on the arms and legs. The body produces these hives when the mast cells of the skin produce too much histamine. However, when large amounts of chemicals are released by these cells to combat the allergen, fluid leaks into the bloodstream, which may cause anaphylaxis.

These are the common skin allergies occur in the winter season. You may consult your dermatologist which can help you in this matter. Dermatologist or skin specialist will examine your skin condition and advice your best treatment for it. KEMPS Skin Clinic Vaishali, Ghaziabad provides best skin care treatment for skin allergy.

What is skin Allergies and how to take care of it?

skin Allergies may be especially common on the face because the skin is more sensitive than elsewhere, and because of various face creams and other products people use on their faces. Even if you don’t have sensitive skin, you’ve probably still experienced a skin reaction. Maybe you were so excited to try a new product that you forgot to do a patch test and ended up breaking out in an itchy, red rash. Sensitive skin sufferers experience irritated skin regularly.

Mostly 2 types of Reaction you may feel on skin: 

1. Irritation:-  Irritant is the most common skin reaction to a beauty product. It can cause burning, stinging, itching, and redness in the area where you apply the product. If your skin is dry or injured, it loses some of its natural protection against irritants. This means reactions can be harsher or happen more easily.  

2. Skin allergies (allergic contact dermatitis). Sensitivity or a true allergy to a specific ingredient in the product causes redness, swelling, itching, or blisters on the skin. Fragrances and preservatives are some of the biggest culprits.

First things to do after skin allergies:

Use aloe vera: As soon as you notice a reaction, reach for an anti-inflammatory cream that contains 0.5% hydrocortisone. Mix it with equal parts aloe vera gel and apply twice daily to the affected area. Hydrocortisone soothes inflammation while aloe vera cools and hydrates, providing immediate relief for hot, itchy skin.

Use ice cubes: Use the ice! Gently rub the rashy area with an ice cube to reduce inflammation and slightly numb the skin. The cold will help reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort.

Contact Skin experts (Dermatologist):  After doing above to steps call your Skin experts (Dermatologist) and make an appointment for the skin test and consultation. It will help you to know your skin and proper treatment of skin reaction.

Basic steps to avoid skin allergies :

1. Check the label:  Look for products with their expiry first, Do not buy product near to expiry date

2. Do a patch test first:  Before you start to use a new product, place a small amount on the inside of your elbow and wait 48 to 72 hours. If you notice no redness, swelling, itching, or burning on that spot, it’s OK for you to use.

3. Spritz on clothes:  Use the fragrance on your clothes, not your skin. You’ll be less likely to have a skin reaction to it. It also helps prevent the fragrance from having a bad reaction with other products you use.

5. Stop using if feel:  If your skin reacts badly to a beauty product, stop using it immediately. You can sometimes use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help ease inflammation. In some cases, you might need a prescription-strength cream.

Always care full about brands you use and check expiry of beauty products. Nowadays fake beauty products are also in the market which looks the same as original but cheaper than original products so please don’t buy cheap beauty product and try to buy herbal beauty products for use.

Crow feet and its remedies

Smile lines, laugh lines or crow’s feet — it has many names. Crow's Feet and Creepy Lids. As we age, the skin around our eyes gets thinner, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Dermatologists distinguish between crow's feet, the “squint lines” around the eyes' outer corners, and the creepy fine lines on the upper and lower eyelids. We consulted Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. Manju Keshari, KEMPS Skin Clinic, Vaishali, Ghaziabad to find out what are the remedies for it.

By a study worldwide found that 84% of women notice wrinkles around their eyes as the first signs of aging.   

Exactly what are crow’s feet, and what causes them?  

Crow’s feet are the fine lines and wrinkles that branch out from the outer corners of your eyes toward your temples.

Facial wrinkles can be broken down into two types:  

• Static Wrinkles – These are the wrinkles that happen over time due to gravity and the loss of fat, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, all of which are responsible for providing volume and structure to your face. Static wrinkles or what we would simply call “aging,” occur naturally regardless of how or how much you move your face.

• Dynamic Wrinkles – Dynamic wrinkles are the result of repeated facial movements like squinting, smiling or furrowing your brow. When you contract your facial muscles to, say, express joy over the fact that those shoes you ordered online come with free shipping, your skin stretches to assist. When you’re young, your skin has more elasticity so it bounces right back. As we get older, our skin (much like our bodies after a rough night) don’t bounce back as easily, and dynamic wrinkles stick around.

How to get rid of crow’s feet?

Sunscreens: Good sunscreens can prevent sun damage. Meanwhile, you can use simple home remedies to smoothen the creases.

Use milk: Milk is extremely beneficial for skin. It can promote collagen production and help erase wrinkles and even crow’s feet. You can use it on those lines regularly for effective results.

Egg mask: Eggs can reduce and prevent crow’s feet because of their ability to tighten the skin Use egg white as a face mask until it dries. Wash it away afterward.

Use Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is one of the best naturally available remedies to improve your skin. You can also use Aloe Vera gel on crow’s feet to reduce their severity and recurrence.

Consults your Dermatologist: It is better that you consult your Dermatologist about your skin type and he will provide you the best treatment for crow feet.

Laser skin resurfacing is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help rejuvenate the skin and reduce the effects of the sunburn, aging, and some facial skin disorders. These treatments are effective, & convenient and less costly.

How skin resurfacing works  

Dermatologist uses a laser to send pulsating beams of light at skin irregularities. The damaged layer of skin is removed; the skin below, the dermis, is heated, stimulating new growth of collagen fibers. Once healed, the skin will appear firmer and smoother.  

The two most popular skin rejuvenation treatments are CO2 laser resurfacing and Erbium laser resurfacing. CO2 or carbon dioxide uses ultra pulse continuous light to remove damaged skin. This method is best for deeper scarring or blemishes. Recovery time for CO2 procedures is up to two weeks. Erbium laser treatment is commonly used for surface and shallow lines and wrinkles. The Erbium technique’s benefit is a minimal healing time, about one week; however, the results may be limited for more severe cases of facial imperfections.

A partial laser skin resurfacing procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and a full treatment can take up to two hours. Both of these lasers help to minimize the potential for laser skin resurfacing complications by limiting the amount of heat damage to the skin and offering the cosmetic surgeon an extremely high level of precision. Your physician will help you prepare for a beneficial laser skin resurfacing recovery.

Healthy food for healthy skin

Healthy food is extremely important for good health; Skin is the largest organ and protects the rest of your body from germs and infectious agents. While many people want healthy skin because of the radiant appearance it provides, skin is also the indicator of overall health, and having healthy skin starts with having a healthy body.

Many people are concerned with not only their general health but the health of their skin as well. Getting the best nutrition you can is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Indeed, though it is impossible to prevent the process of ageing skin, good nutrition can help maintain an attractive complexion. 

Human skin requires nutrients to flourish. These can be obtained from a healthy diet and through multivitamin supplementation. There is no doubt that your wellbeing, including skin health, can be enhanced by eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and fish. Nutrition is important for health. An unhealthy diet can damage your metabolism, cause weight gain and even affect organs such as your heart and liver.

 What to eat in a day for beautiful skin

While there are many factors that contribute to a healthy complexion, there are four standout nutrients that seem to play a role according to scientific research: beta-carotene, lycopene, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C. You can find these nutrients in loads of tasty foods — think bell peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, pumpkins, and watermelon, just to name a few.

How Diet Affects Your Skin

“I tell my patients that what they put in their mouths is as important as the products they apply on their skin,” says Dr. Manju Keshari (Dermatologist of Kemps Skin Clinic), also she says that Foods get digested and broken down into vitamins, minerals and amino acids that your body can use to build healthy skin. If you crash diet or eat highly processed foods, your skin won’t be as strong and supple as it could be.

How can a nutritionist help with skin health and conditions?

If you are struggling with a skin complaint, our dermatologist will often be your first port of call. However, as what you put into your body can have a direct impact on your skin health, a nutritionist can also help - looking at overcoming the problem from inside and recommending the right food for healthy skin.

Skin types and care:

Every person’s skin is unique, but there are a few common skin types. Skin is generally classified into five categories says Dr. Manju Keshari, a dermatologist of KEMPS Skin Clinic, Ghaziabad. Understanding the different types of skin will give you a better idea of how to treat acne breakouts and reveal smooth, clear skin. 

1. Normal Skin Type 
2. Dry Skin Type
3. Oily Skin Type
4. Combination Skin
5. Sensitive Skin

Normal Skin Type

Normal skin type has a healthy glow with a fine texture and no open pores. It rarely develops spots or shiny areas. It is soft, smooth, pimple-free, clean and without flaky areas. In fact, it's quite rare to find a normal skin, especially as all skins tend to become slightly drier as you get older.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can feel tight throughout the day, and may experience noticeable flaking. Dry skin is largely due to genetics, environmental factors such as lifestyle & diet, hormonal changes, and climate. Dehydration is also a leading cause of dry skin, so drinking plenty of water and avoiding diuretics like alcohol and caffeine can make a significant difference in how your skin feels and looks.

Oily Skin

Oily skin has an enlarged pore and produces more than enough oil which may cause blackheads and pimples. You can care for your shiny pores in a way that works with your skin’s natural, not against it, so your problem skin will be clear, more even-toned, healthy and balanced.

Combination Skin:

Combination skin is also very common and it is somewhat difficult to take care of. When you have a combination skin, your skin may be more oily than dry or it may be more dry than oily. So first you have to check which is more dominant. Whether it is oilier or drier, the T-zone (your forehead, nose and the chin) will always be oily. People with combination skin have a shiny skin and visible pores.

Sensitive Skin

Please note that you may have sensitive skin and normal, oily, or dry. If your skin has allergic reactions to beauty products and is usually sensitive to the sun, wind, and cold weather, it is sensitive. Sensitivity can show up in rash, redness, inflammation, acne, and dilated capillaries. Sensitive skin requires sensitive care – it needs to be treated gently, first and foremost, by avoiding irritating products.
