What is Eczema and how it’s treated?

Eczema is a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Blisters may sometimes occur. Eczema is a word that means irritated skin. Doctors don't really know why some kids and adults get eczema, and others don't. They think it might happen for a bunch of reasons:
  • Genetic: If your mom, dad, brothers, or sisters have eczema, you might get it too.
  • Allergies: If you have asthma (a disease that can make it hard to breathe) or allergies (when your immune system tries to protect you from normal things that aren't hurting you), you're more likely to get eczema.
  • Living Condition: Eczema is more common in cities, polluted areas and in the northern part of the world

What Causes Eczema? 

In addition, eczema is commonly found in families with a history of other allergies or asthma. Also, defects in the skin barrier could allow moisture out and germs in.

Some people may have "flare-ups" of the itchy rash in response to certain substances or conditions. For some, coming into contact with rough or coarse materials may cause the skin to become itchy. For others, feeling too hot or too cold, exposure to certain household products like soap or detergent, or coming into contact with animal dander may cause an outbreak. Upper respiratory infections or colds may also be triggers. Stress may cause the condition to worsen.

Although there is no cure, most people can effectively manage their disease with medical treatment and by avoiding irritants. The condition is not contagious and can't be spread from person to person.

Eczema may fade in adulthood, but people who have eczema tend to have lifelong problems with skin irritation and related problems.
  • Dry, sensitive skin
  • Contact dermatitis
  • Skin infections and cold sores
  • Eye irritations

How Is Eczema Treated?

For the treatment of eczema dr. have to relieve and prevent itching, which can lead to infection. Since the disease makes skin dry and itchy, lotions and creams are recommended to keep the skin moist. These products are usually applied when the skin is damp, such as after bathing, to help the skin retain moisture. Cold compresses may also be used to relieve itching.
  • Moisturize frequently.
  • Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
  • Avoid sweating or overheating.
  • Reduce stress.
  • Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool.
  • Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents.
  • Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods.

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. Dr.  Manju keshari is known dermatologist there, she is Hair care and skin specialist.

What is Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) for hair loss?

There’s been a lot of buzzes recently about Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair loss.  There are plenty of claims that it can produce miraculous results. That it can stop hair loss in its tracks. Help you regrow hair. That it gives you thicker, amazingly healthier hair. Low-level laser light is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.

It is different from natural light in that it is one precise color; it is coherent (it travels in a straight line), monochromatic (a single wavelength) and columnated (it concentrates its beam in a defined location or spot). These properties allow laser light to penetrate with no heating effect, no damage and no known side effects.  

What is LLLT: LLLT is a modern non-surgical hair loss treatment that uses laser light to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles. It helps to combat hair loss and improve the volume and appearance of hair. The therapy is painless and has no known side effects.

LLLT has been approved by the FDA as a hair loss treatment for both men and women.  It is mainly used to treat androgenetic alopecia or what’s often referred to as male or female pattern baldness.

Types of lasers:
  • High power 
  • Low power
There are two types of lasers:

High power lasers are used to cut through tissue and give off heat.

Low-level laser, on the other hand, does not give off heat and uses photo energy.

For many years, leading hair restoration clinics and salons around the world have been using Transform Technologies ‘cold-beam’ laser technology for individuals suffering from problem hair conditions. It is a Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) that works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, encouraging hair volume and healthier hair. The unique laser light penetrates into the scalp tissue where it stimulates the microcirculation and improves cellular metabolism and protein synthesis.

Is Low-Level Laser Hair Therapy Safe?

Low-level laser hair therapy meets all international safety standards and legislative specifications of a “non-significant risk” product so its safe.  The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. There have been no side effects of the treatment reported and to give you an idea to what extent our treatment method has been used.

Results from Laser Hair Therapy?

Reduction of hair loss usually occurs after five to six treatments. Some patients also experienced hair growth after 10-12 treatments. Over time, all users – men and women – usually notice progressively increasing benefits of the treatment program.
