How to treat hormonal acne at home
Hormonal acne can result from high androgen levels, which can increase the skin’s oil production. Avoiding things that raise androgens, such as stress, may help manage acne.
New discovery leads to novel probiotic for eczema
NIAID research has led to the availability of a new over-the-counter topical eczema probiotic. The probiotic is based on the discovery by scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, that bacteria present on healthy skin called Roseomonas mucosa can safely relieve eczema symptoms in adults and children.
Removing skin cancer with Mohs surgery
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. When treated early, it's also the most curable type of cancer. Mohs surgery is one of the most successful surgical treatments for removing skin cancer.
Hyaluronic acid injections stimulate long-lasting collagen renewal in aged skin
Chronic exposure of human skin to ultraviolet light causes premature aging, or photoaging. As the skin undergoes photoaging, type I collagen bundles, which are found in the dermis beneath the top layer of the skin and provide strength and support to skin, become fragmented. This leads to wrinkles, fragility and loss of support and elasticity.
Reversing time: Hyaluronic acid injections offer lasting improvement in aging skin
The fragmentation of type I collagen has been seen to impair the integrity of the dermal extracellular matrix (ECM). This results in lower type I procollagen synthesis and contracted or collapsed fibroblasts. A recent Experimental Dermatology study assessed how these deleterious changes could be reversed by injecting cross-linked hyaluronic acid (CL-HA).
