Poison Ivy and Other Summer Skin Irritants
|
By Mayo Clinic Staff Is your summer to-do list filled with outdoor activities? Be alert to
possible summer skin irritants, such as poison ivy.
Poison ivy grows as vines or low shrubs in most climates. Each leaf on a
poison ivy plant has three smaller leaflets. Contact with any part of
the poison ivy plant can cause red, swollen skin, blisters and severe
itching, usually within two days after exposure.
A poison ivy rash usually resolves on its own within one to three weeks.
In the meantime, control itching with calamine lotion or hydrocortisone
cream. Consult your doctor if you have a severe poison ivy rash or if
the rash involves your eyes, face or genital area.
Poison oak and poison sumac cause a similar rash.

Manicure and Pedicure Safety
|
 Summer has arrived and with it comes bare feet and exposed toes. A pedicure is a great way to pamper yourself, but make sure you go to a
salon that practices proper hygiene or you may walk away with more than pretty
feet.
The following safety tips are provided by the American Academy of Dermatology.
Spa Safety
There have been many reports of people getting an infection at nail
salons and spas. Health departments have sanitation guidelines that
salons and spas must follow, and most take them very seriously. But
those guidelines - as well as how often health departments enforce them -
vary throughout the country. So it's up to you to try to ensure that
the spa or salon is clean and safe. The best way to do that is to go to
the salon and look around and check out the following:
Ask how they keep the instruments they use for manicures and
pedicures clean. All instruments should be disposable or thoroughly
sterilized before each use. That means using an autoclave, a machine
that uses pressurized steam to sterilize tools. The foot baths should be
drained and disinfected after each use.
Look around and see if the salon is neat and clean. If it
doesn't look clean, go somewhere else.
Make sure that the technicians wash their hands before each
manicure or pedicure. Some nail technicians wear a new pair of
disposable gloves each time they do a manicure or pedicure.
Another option is to bring your own tools to the salon or spa.
If you have a manicure or pedicure and a few days later
the nails are sore, red or oozing pus, it could mean an infection. Make
an appointment with a dermatologist.

Kids Skin Health

The American Academy of Dermatology offers a "Kids Skin Health" website which recently featured the following article about artificial nails:
Artificial Nails
If your child is begging for artificial nails, the children's versions featuring cartoon
characters are OK for fun and don't last very long or hurt nails. But
the more permanent versions use chemicals and materials that can cause
allergic reactions and nail damage. Click here to read the entire story |

Fillers: What to Expect Before, During, and After
|
By AgingSkinNet
American Academy of Dermatology
If you'd like to
restore some youthful fullness to your face or hands, your dermatologist may
recommend a filler. The following explains what happens before, during, and
after this procedure.
What to Expect
Before a Filler
A consultation is
essential. Your dermatologist will discuss the signs of aging that concern you
and gather your medical history. During this consultation, tell your
dermatologist if you have any medical condition including allergies, a history
of cold sores, or a heart condition. Also mention any cosmetic procedures you
have had.
Your dermatologist
will ask you about your medications. Be sure to tell your dermatologist about
all prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal remedies
that you take. Warfarin, aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, St. John's wort, and
even garlic and ginger supplements can affect the results you see after
receiving a filler. Be sure to mention everything.
Many safe and
effective fillers are available. Your dermatologist will examine your skin to
determine if a filler can diminish the signs of aging that concern you or if
another cosmetic procedure may be more appropriate.
If a filler is
appropriate, your dermatologist will tell you more about the filler.

Tips from the American Academy of Dermatology
|
Consider using petroleum jelly.
This common, inexpensive product has several uses for skin care including:
moisturizing rough, cracked feet, elbows, and hands; dry cuticles and lips; and peeling
nails; preventing chafing when running or biking; protecting kids' scrapes and bumps; and applying as a diaper ointment.
