Why Visit a Dermatologist? - Skin Care and Acne Treatment

by Skin Care under , , , , , , , , ,
One of the most important steps in getting rid of acne is to consult a dermatologist. If you have acne and you are really serious about curing it, then you have to consider seeing a dermatologist. A dermatologist can simply be called a "skin doctor". Dermatologists are medical doctors that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and tumors of the skin care and its appendages. However before the visit go through the following.

A visit to a dermatologist will help to determine whether you have a mild or a severe form of acne. This is very important in the treatment of acne. A lot of frustrated acne patients that have been trying home cure methods are actually people with severe acne using home cure methods that are designed for mild cases of acne. Visiting a dermatologist will save you this frustration.

Being a bit informed about your history with acne will help your dermatologist to determine the best treatment to prescribe for you. For example -when did your acne start? Do you have a history of acne in your family?

Previous treatment - Have you been taking treatment and what have you used? Let your dermatologist know about any acne medication you have taken or still taking. Also inform him if you are taking other medicine like vitamins, contraceptives etc. This will help him/her to prescribe medication that will not have negative reaction with the ones you are taking.

If you have allergies of any type -medication allergies (oral and topical), or food allergies, let your dermatologist know. In this category are also physical conditions like high humidity weather, wearing hats, that trigger acne breakouts on your skin.

Your doctor is going to ask you a lot of questions. Make sure you answer them as accurately as you can. All these will aid your doctor in making proper recommendation for the cure of your acne.

You will be given medication and instructions not only for the medicine but for the general care of your skin. Ask as many questions as you need to be sure that you understand every instruction you are given.

5 Acne Treatment

by Skin Care under , , , ,

Luckily, there are a number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is less prone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking control of your acne starting today.

1. Exercise

Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem and depression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. Watch what you put on your body with regards to clothing, sports gear and equipment.

For example, tight lycra and nylon exercise outfits might look great in the movies and on magazine models, but if you are susceptible to acne problems, avoid these synthetic fabrics that tend to trap in body moisture and heat resulting in a bacteria frenzy. Instead, choose loose clothing made of cotton or natural blends to allow more air to get to your skin.

And when you are finished with your workout, get out of clothing wet from perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry, clean clothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean, too. Dirty headgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to acne problems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workout sessions.More..

Skin Cancer and Walking Women

by Skin Care under , , ,

Young women are seeing a rise in skin cancer. According to a news release from the Society for Women’s Health Research, the CDC says, “The diagnosis of all types of skin cancer has increased and melanoma has become the most common cancer among young women aged 25-29.”

Yesterday I had a check-up and my doctor is referring me to dermatology for a slightly suspicious mole. Like most middle-aged women, I grew up in the 70’s when we all tried to be tan like Farrah Fawcett. I switched to high UPF sunscreen by the time I became a fitness walker at age 24 and stopped attempting to tan. I get enough of a glow even with the sunscreen due to hours a week of outdoors walking.

The report says that using tanning beds may be the high risk factor among young women today. They carry the same skin-aging and skin cancer risk as natural sunlight.more…

Bad Mistakes to Make in Acne Care

by Skin Care under , ,
Today, there are many acne care options on the market and through your doctor. Many individual acne sufferers fight to choose the specific treatment that works the best. It is very hard, for those looking for good care, to be cheerful around those who have clear skin. The struggle to have a good skin care regimen is difficult especially when life is so fast paced. Attention must be given to acne care and the focus should be centered on what can be done to have an acne free life. To find the best acne regimen, it will take dedication and patience. Experimentation with many products might be necessary until the correct combination of treatment is found. In the trial and error period, there are four mistakes that must be avoided to bring about clear skin in a shorter amount of time.


Acne Care Mistake #1

Those of the female gender should avoid adding cosmetic cover-ups to hide pimples. These cosmetic ingredients can clog the pores and make the acne worse. Do not get the idea that using cosmetics to hide the acne is a bad idea, it is simply choosing the correct type of product. Cosmetics need to be water based and made for sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic cosmetics are best because they are more sensitive to the skin.


Acne Care Mistake #2

Keep the hands away from the face as much as possible. This is the biggest mistake an individual can make when trying to get rid of acne. You could be touching your face without even realizing how much you are doing it. The hands carry bacteria that can stay on the face and cause acne breakouts. Washing your hands before you touch any part of your face will help to keep you acne free.more...
