Dandruff is the shedding of excessive amounts of dead skin from the scalp. This may show up as white flakes on dark clothing. It usually worsens in dry, winter weather and improves in warm, humid conditions. Dandruff may also worsen during times of stress. Dandruff usually leads to some degree of scalp itching, but there is no redness or other skin abnormalities. The cause of dandruff is related to the overgrowth of certain fungi on the scalp. The fungi grow on the skin of nearly everyone, but some people are susceptible to an overgrowth that can lead to itching and dry, flaky skin. Dandruff cannot be cured, but it can be controlled with regular hair washing, particularly with medicated shampoos. Effective dandruff shampoos might include the following ingredients: * Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue) * Zinc pyrithione (Head & Shoulders, ZNP) * Ketoconazole (Nizoral AD) * Tar (T/Gel, Pentrax) * Sulfur (Sebulex) If one shampoo stops working, consider buying another shampoo with a different active ingredient and alternating them. Severe dandruff may be due to seborrheic dermatitis. This may be suspected if the scalp is red, or there is greasy scaling on the scalp, behind the ears, or on the face (eyebrows, sides of the nose). Seborrheic dermatitis is a related condition that can be controlled with prescription medications, including prescription-strength shampoos. ____________________________________________________________________ This information is for general educational uses only.

Insect Bites & Stings Insect bites and stings are a very common problem, particularly in the summer months. Bites and stings can be either venomous or non-venomous. Venomous bites and stings usually lead to more severe symptoms. Venom is a chemical used by insects to kill their prey or defend themselves from larger animals. In humans, venom can damage the tissues and lead to significant pain and inflammation. For those who are allergic to the venom, a sting can trigger hives or a more severe reaction called anaphylaxis. Insects with venomous bites or stings include: * Bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets * Fire ants * Scorpions * Spiders One of the most common venomous stings is a bee sting, as shown here: Bee sting reaction, shoulder The most common insect bites are non-venomous. The insects usually bite the skin in search of blood, and may use chemical to numb the site (to avoid being swatted). These chemicals are usually not painful, but they can lead to intense itching. Insects with non-venomous bites include: * Mosquitoes * Fleas * Ticks * Lice * Bed bugs, which can cause a skin reaction that looks like this: Bed bug bites Following a bite, the skin can become red, swollen, and itchy. A small bump may appear that is usually less than half inch wide and may take up to two weeks to heal. Each person reacts to each bite differently. Some people can have significant reactions to mosquito or flea bites, particularly children, while others can be bitten and have no reaction. Complications of Insect Bites Insect bites can sometimes lead to bacterial infections, such as cellulitis, particularly if the wounds are scratched. Try to avoid scratching and keep the area around the bites clean. Sometimes just one or two bites can trigger more widespread bumps that make it appear like there were many bites. This is called papular urticaria. Treatment of Insect Bites Treatment of insect bites and stings is aimed at alleviating the itching and preventing infection. Applying an icepack to the bites for 5 to 10 minutes can help reduce itching and swelling. An antihistamine, such as Benadryl, may alleviate itching. People who are allergic to insect stings may need to use medications, such as epinephrine (Epipen), to avoid anaphylaxis. Prevention These simple steps can minimize the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. * Reduce mosquito bites by avoiding being outside during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. * Avoid wooded busy areas with high grass and leaf litter that attract ticks. * Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks to cover ankles and hats. Keep shirts tucked in and buttoned up. * Place “bee traps” around outdoor eating areas. * Spray clothing, shoes, and camping gear with permethrin-containing repellants (Permanone). These repel and kill ticks and mosquitoes, even after several washings. Permethrin should not be applied directly to skin. Although there are many insect repellants on the market, those with 20-35% DEET are most commonly recommended. Products with DEET should not be applied to children under 6 months old. ___________________________________________________________________ This information is for general educational uses only.

Acne management General principles of treatment * Acne can be effectively treated, although response may sometimes be slow. * Where possible, avoid excessively humid conditions such as a sauna, working in an unventilated kitchen or tropical vacations (but ultraviolet light helps). * Try not to apply irritant oils or cosmetics to the affected skin. * Abrasive skin treatments can aggravate both comedones and inflammatory lesions. * Try not to scratch or pick the spots * No relationship between particular foods and acne has been proven. Management of mild acne Most patients with mild acne can be treated with topical agents (gels, solutions and lotions) that can be obtained over-the-counter in New Zealand without prescription. Most people just use topical agents for facial skin as they can be difficult to apply to one's back. Extra vitamins and minerals have not been proved to help. * Wash affected areas twice daily with a mild cleanser and water or an antiseptic wash. * Acne products should be applied to all areas affected by acne, rather than just put on individual spots. * A thin smear should only be applied to dry clean skin at nighttime. * Acne products may work better if applied in the morning as well. * They often cause dryness particularly in the first 2-4 weeks of use. This is partly how they work. The skin usually adjusts to this. * Apply an oil-free moisturizer only if the affected skin is obviously peeling. * Avoid applying oily cosmetics such as foundation or sunscreen. * It may take several weeks or even months to see convincing improvement. * Discontinue using product if severe irritation results. See your doctor for advice. Suitable topical agents for mild acne that can be obtained without prescription include: * Antiseptic washes (Acnederm wash™, Benzac™ AC Wash, Dalacin™ T Prewash, Oxy™ Daily Skin Wash) * Mild salicylic acid preparations to exfoliate and unplug the follicles (Neutrogena® Oil-free Acne Wash and many others) * Benzoyl peroxide cream / lotion / gel (PanOxyl™ Acne Gel, Brevoxyl™ Cream, Oxy-10™, Clearasil™ Ultra Acne Cream, Benzac AC Gel) * Azelaic acid (Skinoren™ cream, Acnederm™ medicated lotion) * Hydrogen peroxide in stabilised cream (Crystacide®) * Tea tree oil products Topical agents for mild acne which require prescription include: * Antibiotics, such as clindamycin solution (Topicil™) or erythromycin solution (Stiemycin™) and gel (Eryacne™) are best used with benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid to reduce the chance of antibiotic resistance. * Retinoids i.e. tretinoin (Retin-A™), isotretinoin (Isotrex™), adapalene (Differin™). Blue light acne treatment is a new procedure recently found to be safe and helpful for mild to moderate acne. See your doctor or dermatologist for advice if your pimples fail to clear up within six weeks or you have severe acne. Management of moderately severe acne Treatment for moderately severe acne usually includes topical agents. In addition, a doctor or dermatologist may prescribe an oral medication, usually for at least six months. Suitable oral medications include: * Antibiotics such as tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline or erythromycin * In females, oestrogens and antiandrogens such as Diane 35™/Estelle 35™ or spironolactone * Some patients are helped by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen or naproxen * For resistant or persistent acne, oral isotretinoin may be more suitable See your doctor or dermatologist for advice if your skin problem fails to improve within three months or you have severe acne. Management of severe acne Treatment for severe acne requires oral treatment. Patients should be under the care of a dermatologist. Many patients will be treated with oral isotretinoin. If this is not suitable, the following may be used: * High dose oral antibiotics for six months or longer * In females, especially those with polycystic ovary syndrome, oral antiandrogens such as oestrogen/cyproterone or spironolactone may be suitable long term. Systemic corticosteroids are sometimes used for their antiandrogenic effect. Flutamide and finasteride also been reported to be of benefit in hyperandrogenic women. At this time, these medicines are registered for treatment of prostatic cancer (and in the case of finasteride, for androgenetic alopecia) in males only, in New Zealand. Physical treatments for acne * Sunlight is anti-inflammatory and can help briefly. However, exposure to ultraviolet radiation results in ageing skin and can eventually lead to skin cancer. * Cryotherapy (freezing treatment) may be useful to control new nodules. * Intralesional steroid injections can be used to shrink older nodules. * Comedones can be expressed or removed by cautery or diathermy. * Microdermabrasion can help mild acne. * Blue light and sometimes red light phototherapy systems appear helpful. Treatment is often delivered twice weekly for four weeks. The effect may be enhanced by use of a photosensitising agent (photodynamic therapy). * Note: X-ray treatment is no longer recommended for acne as it may cause skin cancer. Site Map

Acne urticata Acne urticata is a form of prurigo and is not a true form of acne. Sometimes it is described as "neurotic excoriation". It tends to affect middle-aged women. The cause is not understood. The affected women are often under stress but it is hard to know whether the stress precedes the rash or whether the stress is caused by the rash's itchiness. It can cause depression or perhaps result from depression. In acne urticata, small bumps (papules) or blisters (vesicles) arise in the "cape" area of the body, ie the face, scalp, neck, upper arms and upper trunk. They are so intensely itchy that they are rapidly scratched or picked. This leaves unsightly, crusted lesions, which may then leave permanent small white scars. Acne urticata Acne urticata Treatment Acne urticata is difficult to treat effectively and may persist for years. The following may be useful: * Topical steroids * Oral antibiotics * Ultraviolet treatment (phototherapy) * Antidepressants Site Map
