What is Azelaic Aziderm Cream

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid that can be found in cereals like rye, barley, and wheat. Acne and rosacea can be effectively treated with it since it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. 

Azelaic acid, which is available in gel, foam, and cream forms, can be used to treat your skin. Two brands of topical medications available only with a prescription are Azelex and Finacea. Azelaic acid is present in them in amounts of at least 15%. Smaller levels are present in several over-the-counter products. 

Azelaic acid by itself isn't often a dermatologist's first choice for treating acne because it takes some time to take effect. Additionally, the acid can cause peeling, dryness, and burning of the skin. To learn everything you need to know about using & Buy Aziderm azelaic acid to treat acne, keep reading.

Benefits of Aziderm Cream

Mild to moderate acne, melasma, and rosacea are just a few of the skin disorders that azelaic acid effectively treats. Alopecia, keratosis pilaris, psoriasis vulgaris, and hidradenitis suppurativa may all benefit, according to more recent research. It has little negative effects and is quite gentle and safe. One of the few treatments, azelaic acid, is safe for usage in children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers.

This is fantastic for expectant mothers because many of the acne treatment solutions we regularly utilize are unsafe during pregnancy. 

 How azelaic acid benefits skin is as follows:

Inflammation is lessened - Free radicals that cause inflammation can be prevented or neutralized by azelaic acid. It provides calming benefits on the skin and considerably lessens redness.

Balance in your Skin tone -  By blocking the tyrosinase enzyme, which causes hyperpigmentation, or dark spots of skin, it lessens pigmentation. Because of this, Azelaic Acid works well to treat melasma, acne scars, and outbreaks.

Combats acne -  Acne-causing germs on your skin are eliminated by azelaic acid. Due to its bacteriostatic (restricts bacterial formation) and bactericidal (kills germs) qualities, Propionibacterium, the bacteria responsible for acne, is less active, according to Thiede.

Uses of Azelaic Aziderm Cream

You can use azelaic acid as a gel, foam, or cream. The fundamental usage instructions are the same for all forms:

With warm water, thoroughly wash the affected area, then pat it dry

Make sure the area is clean by using a cleaner or gentle soap

Before applying the drug, wash your hands

Apply a small bit of the drug, massage it in, and then wait for it to totally dry

You can use cosmetics when the medication has dried. You don't need to bandage or cover your skin

Side Effects & Disadvantages

Although azelaic acid is a moderate type of acid, it is possible to feel some irritation when using it for the first time. 

Up to 10% of patients may report itching, burning, or scaling, which may last up to four weeks. Starting the treatment once daily for the first one to two weeks of treatment may reduce local reactions.

Always use sunscreen when going outside, especially if you're using azelaic acid. You will gain additional benefits if you use this product and protect your skin from the sun because certain conditions, such as hyperpigmentation from acne or melasma, can get worse with exposure to the sun.  

Inflammation, redness, or itchiness at the application location

Burning feeling where the application was made

Discoloration of the skin

Dryness and scaling at the location of application

Swelling at the site of application. 

Bottomline

Azelaic Aziderm Cream is a skin-friendly dicarboxylic acid that can treat a variety of skin disorders, including acne, rosacea, melasma, and others. Because the acid is mild, it works well on almost all skin types and is safe for women who are pregnant or nursing.  Before beginning to use azelaic Aziderm Cream or if you have concerns about a skin issue, consult your doctor or dermatologist. They might suggest different forms of therapy or azelaic acid at a prescribed strength.

SKIN DEEP—a fic

So Rainbow had a pretty funny exchange on Twitter yesterday about the Watford crew and teenage acne, and in particular if Baz would have acne. Which she said he most certainly would. So, being me, I had to go write a fic about it. Because I have no chill and even less self control. So here is a slightly crack-y fic, set at pre-canon era Watford, as hormones start to surge and Simon becomes pimple obsessed.

Screen shots of Rainbow’s tweets at the end of this post, to prove this lunacy had a real life prompt.

Simon and Baz fourth year, as the ravages of adolescence commence. Pimples, blemishes and spots. Questionable concoctions. The roots of Baz’s immaculate skin care regimen. Some things even a vampire can’t avoid.

Skin Deep

Year Four

Simon

I’m just about to splash water on my face when I notice them in the mirror. I mean, I’ve been expecting this to happen. I saw the older boys go all spotty at the homes. There’s no way I’d be lucky enough to be spared.

But fuck it all. I’ve got one on the side of my nose, two on my chin and one right between my eyebrows. How did I get all these pimples in one night?

I’m half tempted to think Baz spelled me. But that’s not his style, he doesn’t sneak about doing something like this, even though he’s a prick and a plotter. No, he did things like this when we were first years, but now when Baz spells me he wants everyone to know what he’s done.

Makes a production of it, the wanker.

Like when he knocks my boater off. Spells my shoes untied during class, so I trip when I stand up. Or seals the lid on the butter dish at breakfast.

If Baz was going to spell me spotty he’d do it in on a Monday, right before class, when everyone would notice. Not in our room, on a Saturday morning, when we’ve got nothing to do and nowhere to go.

He’s still asleep so if he did do it, it must have been in the night and really what would be the bloody point of that?

I have to reluctantly admit it’s probably not him this time. It’s me. I was just hoping this particular stage of puberty would just pass me by.

The other milestones have been coming one right after another though, so I guess I’m not that lucky.

I’ve got hair in more places now.

And I grew three inches this summer (Baz grew four, the tosser, so he’s still taller than me).

He’s taller but it’s like he fits in his body. Glides when he walks. Smooth as silk on the pitch. Bloody infuriating, is what it is.

I feel like a marionette on a string, my arms and legs all out of sync, knocking into furniture and tripping over my own feet, even when my shoes are tied.

And my voice has been doing that stupid thing where it gets all deep mid-sentence, and then it goes up so high I sound like Madame Bellamy. It’s bloody awful. Baz always gives me shit about it --“going to break into song for us, Snow?”

He’s such a prick.

I lean in closer to the mirror. The ones on my chin are small. It’s the nose one that’s a disaster.

No help for it. I’ll ask Penny if there’s a spell at breakfast. Though I doubt there is, seeing as Agatha’s been spotty for weeks and I know she’d use a spell, if there was one. Penny says Agatha spells her hair to be that straight and shine like it does. I wasn’t sure I believed her but some days it’s got a bit of an uneven wave to it so I wonder if Penny may be right.

*******

“No, Simon, there isn’t a spell.” Penny is using her patient voice with me, which means she thinks my question is unbearably stupid. She leans across the table to peer at me over her glasses. “You’ve hardly got any.”

“I might only have four now. But just you wait. They’re bound to get worse. With my luck I’ll be covered in them.”

“You don’t know that. And even if they do get worse it’s human nature! The universal teen experience!”

I groan.

“It won’t be that bad, Simon. Besides everyone’s spotty.”

“Baz isn’t spotty.”

She rolls her eyes. “Not Baz again, please.”

“Have you seen him, Penny?”

“I see him every day, Simon.”

“Yes, but have you really looked?”

“Obviously not as intently as you.”

“I live with him!”

I get another eye roll.

“He’s not got one spot! I tell you, it’s proof he’s a vampire. You can’t go through normal adolescence and be as pristine as all that.”

“Everyone goes through puberty at different times. He’s probably not at that stage yet.”

“He’s taller than me!”

“He’s always been taller than you.”

“Don’t I know it.”

“It’s not like he has any control over that, Simon. It’s genetics.”

I know that. I know height isn’t something that you can magick. But it just doesn’t seem fair that each time I grow enough to catch up to him, he grows too.

He did it last summer. Did it again this summer. Even grew over the Christmas holiday this year, the jammy bastard.

And now I’m sprouting pimples right and left and he’s across the dining hall with his flawless, pearly grey skin. Not a spot to be seen.

Typical.

****

I can tell I’ve got more when I wake up. Bloody hell. The old ones dry up and get crusty and new ones take their place.

My face feels heavier this morning. I grimace and I know there’s one on the side of my nose again. It pinches when my cheeks move so it must be massive. And the one on my chin itches— it’s probably grown overnight, red and welted around that nasty white center. I can’t even imagine what my forehead looks like.

I’ve tried everything.

Washing my face twice a day.

Alcohol to try to dry them out (didn’t do a thing, except make my skin all flaky so I looked like I had dandruff and the pox).

I borrowed some ointment off of Gareth. (He’s worse off than me, the poor sod, just a face full of them.) (Which should have tipped me off that whatever he was using wasn’t working.) (Got an earful from Penny about that.)

I had some sort of allergic reaction when I used his, so my face was itching, red even in the areas between the spots, and felt like it was on fucking fire.

Practically scrubbed my face off trying to wash it away.

Of course, Baz walked in right as I came out of the en suite. Did a double take at the sight of me, the wanker, then raised that eyebrow of his and curled his lip up in a sneer. Leaned forward and studied me for a moment. My face got even hotter. I don’t like it when he stares at me like that, all intense and focused. Like he’s plotting the best way to end me without triggering the Anathema. Makes my stomach twist, it does.

Made me wish my wand wasn’t half way across the room.

But I know Baz won’t risk the Anathema. He’s never done anything remotely threatening in our room. (It’s another story out of our room.)

He’d crossed his arms over his chest after he was done inspecting me and smirked, the tosser. “You know, Snow, between the excessive quantity of moles, infinite number of freckles, and extraordinary collection of pimples you have on your face, I don’t think I can actually see anything resembling skin anymore.”

He’s going to make me trigger the Anathema one of these days.

I ended up having to see the nurse for it, when I couldn’t stop scratching at my face. She rolls her eyes almost as much as Penny. It’s not like I can help being there so often. I’ve got missions. Important work for the Mage. It’s what I do.

She’d shaken her head at me and cast some spell that made the itching go away but didn’t do a thing for the bloody spots. Looked bored and put upon even doing that, she did.

This teen experience is a bloody nuisance.

I’m more and more convinced Baz is a vampire. The entire class looks poxed except for him. Like we’re in the middle of a plague while he’s all alabaster skin, unblemished and smooth, immaculate and bloody flawless.

Perfect, just like he always is.

Wanker.

Baz

Snow is an absolute spotted mess. It was entertaining at first, to watch him peer at himself in the mirror, hear the muttered curses as he would catch sight of each new blemish.

But I’m actually finding myself almost feeling sorry for him now.

Almost.

He’s standing at his mirror, turning his face this way and that, grumbling to himself as he inspects his reflection.

It’s something he does on a daily basis since his skin condition deteriorated so precipitously. I should probably stop needling him about it.

But I won’t because he actually seems quite bothered by it. Can’t let him think I’m going soft.

I wasn’t joking the other night, when I mocked him. I don’t think he has a span of skin left that doesn’t have some manner of spot or blotch or freckle on it. At least he’s stopped with the alcohol washes. He was shedding more than a snake when he was doing that, leaving errant flakes of skin all over the bathroom sink.

Disgusting.

Whatever he’s doing certainly isn’t making anything better. Making it a far sight worse by my estimation.

He’s literally a textbook illustration of acne vulgaris. The full range: from red and bumpy spots, to glaring pustules, to crusted over, scabby craters.

More like a walking dermatologic visual in actuality. You could slap a label on him: progressive stages of teenage acne and the entire range of pigmented facial anomalies.

Although they weren’t really anomalies before the acne got to Snow. His moles and freckles just seem to fit with his tawny skin—vast arrays of constellations scattered across his face, mapping out patterns against the smoothness of his complexion.

I don’t know what I’m thinking. What absolute nonsense. Snow’s freckles are a travesty.

And he’s anything but smooth complexioned. He’s more of a lunar landscape than Shakespeare’s damask’d roses.

I can’t be arsed to mess with him now though. I’m too comfortable under my blankets.

It’s far too early for anyone to be up, but Snow’s probably readying himself to head off on one of the Mage’s blasted missions again. Despite the fact that it’s a Sunday morning and by all accounts he should be doing what the rest of us are—having a lazy lie-in.

I watch him from under half-lidded eyes, the blankets pulled up to cover the bottom half of my face. He growls one last time, savages his curls in an attempt to tame them, and then charges out the door. It slams shut behind him, further proof that Snow has no regard for the niceties of sharing a room.

Thanks to all his thumping about, I’m now wide awake. I try to go back to sleep, try to will myself into a drowsy oblivion, but that ship has sailed. No Sunday lie-in for me and I lay the blame directly on Snow.

I stay under the covers for a bit longer, dreading the chilly walk to the en suite, but eventually my need to piss outweighs the comfort of the bed.

It’s not until I’m washing my hands and happen to glance up at the mirror that I notice.

There’s a pimple on my nose. Not just on my nose—at the very tip of it. Right in the fucking center of my face. If it were anywhere else—my forehead or my cheeks, for example—I’d have some chance of hiding it. But this. I can’t hide this.

And I can’t hide the one on my chin either. Bloody hell.

I shouldn’t even have pimples. I should by all rights be immune to this. I don’t get sick, I’m not prey to infections—how the bloody hell have I ended up with acne, for Crowley’s sake? It should be one of the perks of being undead—imperviousness to the ravages of teenage skin eruptions.

For half a minute I wonder if Snow has spelled me, in retribution for my insensitive commentary on his facial imperfections. But there is no possible way Snow could have managed a spell this precise, this nuanced. I’d be covered in boils, like Job himself, if Snow had attempted to pox me.

That’s not to say that this is acceptable. It most assuredly is not. And there’s no bloody spell for it. Dev’s been spotty since last year and he and Niall have yet to find anything that does more than slightly diminish the redness.

It’s fine. This is fine.

It’s not fine.

I need to call home and talk to Daphne. Surely she’ll have some advice for me.

Simon

The sunlight filtering through the window wakes me up. I’m still knackered from yesterday. Didn’t get back until well after midnight and I’ve got class in just a bit. I stretch and groan as my shoulder pops. I wrenched it trying to free my sword from that basilisk’s skull last night. I roll my neck and pull myself to a seated position.

Baz is already up. The door to the en suite’s closed but I don’t hear the water running.

My stomach growls. I’ll have time for seconds if I get to breakfast early enough. I’m just about ready to head down there when Baz comes out of the bathroom, steam drifting behind him and bringing the scent of his shampoo with it. It’s some posh brand, in sleek, artistically shaped bottles.

Penny says it smells like cedar and bergamot. I’m not sure what cedar and bergamot smell like. All I know is that the scent is unfairly pleasant.

Unlike Baz, who isn’t pleasant at all.

He looks murderous at the moment, eyebrows lowered, eyes narrowed. He’s an arse in general but more so in the mornings. He’d sleep late if he had the chance—he’s rarely out of bed before nine on weekends, the tosser, not unless he’s got exams to study for or an away match.

I’m trying to stay out of his way as I leave but I make for the door right as he crosses the room to his wardrobe and we do this awkward half step to avoid each other.

And that’s when I see it.

He’s got a pimple on his nose. Right at the tip of it, where it comes to a bit of a point. It’s nothing compared to any of mine. I’d hardly notice it on anyone else but this is Baz.

It’s stark against his pale skin, raised and just slightly reddened.

Fuck. He’s got one on his chin as well. Two, actually.

Baz has spots.

Trivial and hardly noticeable ones, but still.

I open my mouth to say something then think better of it and hightail it down to breakfast.

I still can’t quite believe it.

Baz has spots.

Penny is disappointingly unimpressed by this unexpected and highly irregular development.

“Simon, we all have spots. This is not some earth-shattering revelation. It’s puberty. A normal part of human development. We’ve been over this.”

“No, but this is Baz. Baz, Penny. He’s not human.”

Penny rolls her eyes again. She rolls her eyes rather a lot, I’m thinking. “He is if he has spots, Simon. I’d say this disproves your vampire hypothesis for good.”

“Maybe vampires aren’t immune to acne.”

“Simon.”

“Maybe it’s some plot. He probably magicked them up himself, the scheming prick.”

“You’re relentless! First you’re outraged that he doesn’t have spots, now you’re complaining that he does! For Merlin’s sake, Baz has finally shown himself to be as imperfect as the rest of us, so let it go, Simon.”

“He’s not imperfect. Far from it. Even his pimples are impeccable—small, unobtrusive, uh . . . restrained.”

Penny stands up, takes her plate and glares at me over the top of her glasses. “That’s enough, Simon. You’re being absurd. No one has perfect pimples.” She stomps across the hall to deposit her dishes, turning back to give me a disapproving look.

I scowl at her. Baz walks in as Penny goes out.

She’s wrong this time. Penny’s not wrong about much, but she’s wrong about this.

Baz’s pimples are fucking perfect.

It’s so fucking unfair.

TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Center

TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Centre is a specialist dermatology clinic helmed by Singapore dermatologist Dr Teo Wan Lin. Dr. Teo specialises in skin, hair, nail disorders, removal of skin growths, skin cancer & surgery as well as aesthetic dermatology. Having founded Dr.TWL Dermaceuticals, a specialist line of cosmeceutical skincare formulated as adjunct treatments for her patients, Dr. Teo is a key opinion leader in cosmeceutical science and also author of the Skincare Bible - Dermatologist's Tips for Cosmeceutical Skincare. She has published her dermatological research in distinguished medical journals internationally. This included the only pigmentation medical study commissioned by skincare supplement giant, Crystal Tomato® performed at the National Skin Centre Singapore and published in the Journal of Pigmentary Disorders.

The Specialist Skincare Clinic with a Skincare Pharmacy Evidence-led botanical treatment for chronic skin conditions known as rosacea (skin redness) and cosmeceuticals, have been incorporated into the specialist skincare pharmacy. Active botanical skincare ingredients are compounded into treatments for patients as adjuncts to prescription medications. The dermatologist’s skincare philosophy focuses on targeted management of skin diseases like cystic acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, sensitive skin and eczema. Appropriate medical treatment is prescribed where necessary together with adjunct treatment using plant-based skincare ingredients to reduce inflammation.

Acne Treatments The clinic is known for its acne treatments, especially in adult hormonal acne & maskne. Dr. Teo was the first dermatologist in Singapore and internationally to publish research on maskne or mask acne that arose globally with increasing face mask usage amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This research included treatments focusing on anti-inflammatory botanicals suitable for use under a face mask and also an ideal face mask design using biofunctional textiles that help to treat mask acne. The research was published in the top international Dermatology journal, the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, in 2020. The treatment for acne focuses on the use of botanical actives, such as berberine chlorella vulgaris, which are less irritating on skin, and without side effects. This has been discussed in Dr.Teo’s publications on acne and maskne in top dermatology journals. The clinic also has an onsite specialist compounding pharmacy for skincare, which includes pure hyaluronic acid serum which can be used to reduce skin inflammation in acne, rosacea and sensitive skin. Dr. Teo Wan Lin is widely interviewed for her expertise on sensitive skin, and eczema and combines the treatment with a proactive approach to reduce reliance on topical steroids, while ensuring that there are minimal disease flare ups.

A comprehensive range of acne treatments is available at the clinic, from conventional oral medications such as antibiotics and isotretinoin, phototherapy and chemical peel procedures, to proprietary berberine mask formulations to target acne inflammation and wound healing on the skin. This allows customized treatments to cater to the individual needs of patients, maximizing treatment efficacy whilst minimizing side effects associated with conventional treatments.

Acne Scar Treatment Fractional lasers are offered for individuals with deeper types of acne scars, as a form of ablative resurfacing. Pigmentation scars such as post-inflammation hyperpigmentation can be treated with 1064 q switch lasers. Ice-pick and box-car type dermal scars will require fractional resurfacing. Cosmeceutical treatment is combined in the dermatology clinic to give best results. Tretinoin is a vitamin A derived cream that helps to stimulate collagen production and is dispensed at 0.01%, 0.025% and 0.05% at the clinic. The clinic’s dermatologist also uses oligopeptides which are retinoid free and over-the counter to help stimulate collagen, having a retinoid-like effect. The QRASER custom cut patches with synthetic biopolymer technology is a favourite of our patients as it helps reduce the appearance of scars with just a single application. It works by drawing water up from deeper layers of the dermis to the surface stratum corneum, causing a lifted and plumped appearance.

Eczema Treatment The dermatologist clinic developed the best-selling Multi-CERAM as a “Prescription Emollient Device”, which is a steroid alternative to treating eczema using ceramides and anti-inflammatory botanicals. Eczema treatments by Singapore dermatologist, Dr. Teo Wan Lin, focuses on restoring healthy skin barrier function, which is often disrupted by genetic and environmental factors in patients with dermatitis. Her eczema patients are taught by a specialty care dermatology education nurse on wet wrap therapy under the monitoring of a dermatologist.

Rosacea and Colour Correcting Skincare Makeup The skin centre specialises in the use of evidence-based cosmeceuticals as part of rosacea treatment. In particular, the specialist skin clinic features an onsite customised skincare pharmacy, including customized makeup for sensitive skin and to support patients who are undergoing dermatological treatments. The on-site makeup lab teaches color correction and cosmetic camouflage for patients who need concealing while undergoing medical treatment. Dermatology patients with sensitive skin, eczema, acne and rosacea will benefit from skincare makeup which can heal the skin with anti inflammatory skincare active ingredients.

Hair Loss Treatments TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Centre also specializes in hair loss treatment, by first detecting any underlying health conditions that could be causing the hair loss and treating that at its root cause. In Singapore, the warm humid tropical climate often causes excessive proliferation of microorganisms including yeast and bacteria on the scalp. This leads to inflammation of the scalp and dandruff which inadvertently causes hair loss. This condition is known as seborrheic dermatitis. Hair loss treatment at the dermatologist clinic starts by regulating scalp microbes with proprietary shampoo formulations, prior to adjunct treatments such as phototherapy and topical copper peptide to stimulate hair growth.

The hair loss treatments offered by the dermatologist clinic include red and yellow LED light therapy. The clinic is specialised in medical device development under its biomaterials research arm. It’s RASER Hair Loss Comb is an FDA-approved home hair regrowth device for male and female pattern hair loss. It contains laser diode therapy with radiofrequency that has been proven to stimulate the hair follicles. The approach undertaken by Singapore dermatologist, Dr. Teo Wan Lin, to hair loss is also to restore the scalp microbiome balance with the clinic’s proprietary formulation Deep Cleanse Shampoo. The shampoo contains therapeutic levels of zinc pyrithone and salicylic acid. Copper Peptide Serum, which is available via Dr.TWL Dermaceuticals is a favourite with many of the dermatology centre’s international clientele, made available internationally from Singapore via their web store. The cosmeceutical for hair loss is used as a potent scalp antioxidant and has no irritation side effects, unlike minoxidil which is used for hair loss. It is also suitable for patients with sensitive, dry scalp as the formulation helps to restore the scalp microbiome balance.

Customised Technology A firm believer in natural beauty, Dr. Teo focuses on treatments that enhance skin health and radiance. The clinic is equipped fully with state of the art lasers and HIFU technology, specially curated by Dr. Teo to rejuvenate the skin. TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Centre also offers comprehensive under-eye and periorbital rejuvenation services. CO2 laser resurfacing, plasma nitrogen, personalised cosmeceutical eye creams, customised biofunctional textile, proprietary cosmeceuticals and home-use rejuvenation devices are available to patients.

TeleDermatology Having been the first accredited dermatology clinic in Singapore to implement a seamless Tele-Dermatology service, the clinic’s telemedicine protocol is robust, and serves international and local patients effectively. Dr. Teo and her team of qualified nurses and pharmacy technicians ensure a pleasant and efficient Tele-Dermatology experience. The entire process is regulated according to Telemedicine guidelines prescribed by the Ministry of Health Singapore, ensuring that the quality of care in a virtual dermatologist visit is equivalent to that of a face to face visit.

Integrative Dermatology Dr. Teo emphasises an integrative approach to both medical and cosmetic dermatology. This includes nutraceutical dietary and lifestyle modifications. Her research work in dermatology focuses on restoring the skin microbiome, or the balance of good bacteria and microorganisms for healthy skin. Dr. Teo has helped countless dermatology patients in emotional and mental wellness via a psychodermatological approach, which is a crux in the comprehensive dermatological care offered by the specialist clinic.

Pigmentation, Dark Spots and Wrinkles For skincare rejuvenation, Singapore dermatologist, Dr. Teo Wan Lin, emphasizes a holistic approach. Depending on the stage of photo aging, a cocktail of treatments and cosmeceuticals will be tailored for the clinic’s dermatology patients. Severe photoaging may require fractional resurfacing. Milder cases and those who want a brighter, more radiant complexion can start with non-ablative lasers, such as the 1064 Q-switch laser also used to treat skin diseases such as melasma and hyperpigmentation. In combination with cosmeceuticals like Kojic acid and arbutin, the dermatology clinic’s target is eliminating pigmentation via in-clinic treatments for a period of 2-3 months before starting on a home-maintenance regime to minimise return of pigmentation.

Undereye Dark Circles, Sagging and Wrinkles TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Centre’s popular undereye treatment effectively targets skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles with plasma nitrogen resurfacing technology, potent anti-oxidant drug delivery and effective post operative care. The dermatology centre in Singapore also combines novel biofunctional textile technology developed in-house by their biomaterials research arm that incorporates anti-ageing metallic nanoparticles to reduce facial wrinkles. The CUIONS technology has been incorporated into the dermatology clinic’s eye mask patch which is used with their CUTISCOOL CMC gel pack after treatment, for post-treatment recovery and maintenance. The Elixir-V eye cream contains whitening niacinamide, oligopeptides broccoli extract LARECEA to lift and tighten the undereye area.

Difference Between Retinol, Retinoids, and Tretinoin

Retinoids are a class of synthetic and naturally occurring Vitamin A compounds and derivatives that include retinol and retinoic acid, which are naturally occurring in humans.1 Some retinoids, such as retinoic acid (tretinoin), are available with a prescription only. Other retinoids, such as retinols, are cosmetic. Retinoids work to provide smoother-looking skin.1

Retinoic acid: a prescription-only treatment

Tretinoin is the generic name for synthetic, first-generation all-trans-retinoic acid.1 Topical tretinoin first arrived on the dermatology scene in the 1960s.1,2 It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne,5,6 and in a few FDA-approved products, to treat fine facial wrinkling,7 limited psoriasis, and other conditions.1,† Patients who use tretinoin may experience skin irritation and photosensitivity in the first few weeks of treatment, which can sometimes be counteracted with less frequent application or a less potent strength.2 Obagi offers topical tretinoin in prescription-only creams and a gel*:

Tretinoin Cream 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% and Tretinoin Gel 0.05%—available in multiple strengths and formulations by prescription only, Obagi tretinoin creams and gel work deep inside the skin to treat acne.5,6

Retinol: a cosmetic treatment

Topical retinol has been used in cosmetic skin care products for more than 30 years2 to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Generally a well-tolerated treatment, retinol users typically experience minimal skin redness and irritation.2 A plethora of cosmetic creams, gels, and serums contain retinol. Obagi offers 2 concentrations of retinols to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In a clinical study, patients reported a noticable difference in 1 to 3 weeks.3,**:

Obagi Retinol 0.5%—contains 0.5% retinol entrapped for gradual release, to help minimize irritation while improving the look of uneven skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.2,4

Obagi Retinol 1.0%—contains a higher, 1.0% concentration of entrapped retinol to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture with minimal irritation.2,4

Contact buy tretinoin gel 0.1 online to see which retinoid is right for your skin.

†The exact method of action of tretinoin is unknown.

Obagi® Tretinoin Cream 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1%, and Tretinoin Gel 0.05% prescriptions may not be available in certain states. Please check with your physician.

**Study results for daily application of the Obagi360 System in a 12-week study; N=40.

Tretinoin Cream and Gel

Indication

Tretinoin Gel 0.05% and Tretinoin Cream (0.1%, 0.05% and 0.025%) are indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.

Important Safety Information

If a reaction suggesting sensitivity or chemical irritation occurs, discontinue use of Tretinoin.

The skin of some patients may become dry, red, or exfoliated while using Tretinoin and patients may need to temporarily reduce the amount or frequency of application, or discontinue use temporarily or altogether.

Tretinoin should not be used on eczematous or sunburned skin due to potential for severe irritation. Patients should protect their skin from sun, tanning lights, and extreme wind or cold. Use of effective broad spectrum sunscreen products and protective clothing over treated areas is recommended when exposure cannot be avoided.

Caution should be exercised when using Tretinoin with products that have a strong drying effect, particularly those containing benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid.

Tretinoin Gel should be used with caution in patients allergic to fish due to potential for allergic reactions to fish protein; patients who develop pruritus or urticaria should contact their healthcare providers.

Tretinoin should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus, and it should be used with caution in nursing women.

The safety and efficacy of Tretinoin have not been established in the treatment of patients younger than 10 years of age (gel) and 12 years of age (cream).

The most common adverse reactions are dry skin, peeling/scaling/flaking skin, skin burning sensation, and erythema. In some subjects the skin-related adverse reactions persisted throughout the treatment period.

Psychodermatology: The Overlap of Skin and Psyche-Juniper Publishers

Abstract

Skin, brain and mind are interlinked and dermatological disorders are affected by as well as affect the psychological state of a person. The psychiatric morbidities such as anxiety, depression are common in skin conditions and the quality of life, especially psychological quality of life is adversely affected in psycho dermatological disorders. This article reviews the psychological impact of dermatological disorders and calls for close liaison between dermatology and psychiatry for favourable outcomes of these disorders.

Keywords:   Psychodermatology; Psychocutaneous disorders; Psychosomatics

    Introduction

Skin is the largest organ of human body; it expresses human emotion in its own unique way such as blushing, piloerection and perspiration. The skin as well as brain originate itself from embryonic ectoderm and responds to same hormones and neurotransmitters [1]. Skin is the also the most visible organ and everything that affects the skin is visible to others as well as to the patient himself forming an important part of one's self-image. In addition to the unpleasant physical sensations that take the person off balance, creating discomfort, irritation, impatience and damage to the physical appearance, skin disorders also compromise the individual's self-image and selfesteem. The psychological impact of dermatological disorders can be devastating to the patients, even though it may not be always associated with physical discomfort or pain [2].

    Discussion

The incidence of psychiatric disorders among dermatological patients is estimated around 30 to 60% [3] and patients of chronic dermatological patients experience significant emotional pain [4]. The interaction between nervous system, skin and immunity has been explained by release of mediators from NICS (neuro immuno-cutaneous system) [5]. Psychological stress is believed to disrupt the epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis, and it may act as a precipitant for some inflammatory skin disorders like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis [6]. The psychological factors can be big concern in chronic intractable disorders eczema, prurigo, psoriasis and vitiligo [7-9]. The psychiatric help seeking behaviour in dermatological patients however is not in proportion to the psychiatric morbidity in these patients and patient often resist the psychiatric referrals due to widespread stigma and misconceptions about psychiatric diagnoses. Therefore the liaison between psychiatrists and dermatologist proves very helpful for optimum management of psychodermatological disorders with emphasis on biopsychosocial model of disorders.

Psychodermatology refers to the psychological or psychiatric aspects associated with dermatological disorders. These disorders can be classified into four categories namely:

Psychophysiologic disorders, dermatological conditions associated closely and exacerbated by stress.

Primary psychiatric disorders with dermatological symptoms due to pathological thinking process.

Secondary psychiatric conditions as response to stress of dermatological condition.

Cutaneous sensory disorder presenting as sensory conditions with no underlying dermatological or general medical condition [10].

We in this review endeavour to focus on the psychiatric morbidity in dermatological disorders, which would cover psychophysiologic disorders and psychiatric disorders secondary to dermatological conditions.

    Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that affects approximately 2-3% of world population, with its onset in the second or third decade of life. This disorder fits the biopsychosocial model of etiology and is caused by the interaction of genetic (polygenic inheritance), environmental and psychological factors [11]. Psychological stress is known to exacerbate the condition and commonly associated with depression, anxiety and somatization [12-15]. Suicidal ideations are not uncommon to be reported in patients of psoriasis and it is associated with significant impairment of quality of life, negatively impacting psychological, vocational, social and physical functioning [15,16]. Five dimensions of the stigma associated with psoriasis have been reported:

Anticipation of rejection.

Feelings of being flawed.

Sensitivity to the attitudes of society.

Guilt and shame.

Secretiveness [17].

However, the severity of psychiatric symptoms may not be always proportional to the clinical severity of psoriasis.

    Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition with pruritus, scaling, erythema, excoriation and lichenification making it very distressing for the patients. Adults with atopic dermatitis are more anxious and depressed with psychosocial adjustment issue and low self esteem whereas children suffer emotional distress and more behavioural problems [18-21]. Psychological stress may be an acquired factor affectingthe expression of atopic dermatitis [22]. A topic individuals with emotional problems may develop a vicious cyclebetween anxiety/depression and dermatologic symptoms [23].

    Acne Vulgaris

Acne is an inflammation of the pilosebaceous glands mostly affecting face and trunk affecting mostly adolescents. It has a great importance among the dermatoses that affect adolescents, in view of its high prevalence in this age group and its effect on the quality of life which becomes more pronounced as the stage of the disease becomes more severe [24]. It is associated with depression and severe cases are more likely to have severe depressive features [25]. Apart from it the drug isotretinoin has side effects in the form of depression and suicidal ideas which needs tobe kept in mind while treating patients of acne.

    Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is a common disease involving localized loss of hair in round or oval areas, without visible inflammation of the skin in hair-bearing areas. The role of psychological factors in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata is debatable [26]. The psychiatric morbidity in patients of alopecia areata ranges from 25-67% [27-29]. Anxiety and depression remain the commonest comrbid psychiatric disorders in these patients [30,31]. The quality of life is poorer in patients of alopecia areata when compared to control but it does not depend on severity of the illness [32].

    Urticaria

Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is characterized by recurrent urticarial wheals of unknown origin for 6 or more weeks' duration. It is one of the most common and frustrating diseases for both patients and physicians [33,34]. The quality of life of these patients is greatly affected by the disorder [35]. The physical and psychological quality of life in chronic idiopathic urticaria is markedly reduced [36] which is suggestive of the severe distress because of the disorder. When it comes to psychiatric morbidity literature suggests that anxiety and depression is common in cases of urticaria [36,37].

    Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a depigmentary disorder which mostly painless, however cosmetic disfigurement is the source of discomfort. It is also unfortunately associated with great social stigma especially in societies like India where once patients of vitiligo were treated as untouchables. Vitiligo runs a chronic and unpredictable course requiring long term treatment but there is no uniform effective therapy and this is usually very demoralizing for patients [38]. Patients reveal indications of significant distress that are related to specific types of social encounters and emotional disturbances [39]. The quality of life in patients of vitiligo is hampered, especially in female patients. The psychological and environmental quality of life is affected in a negative way due to psychosocial impact of the disorder [9] Vitiligo patients are stared at, whispered about or subjected to antagonism, insult, isolation and are greeted differently [38] and high number of patients of vitiligo suffer from depression [40] and tend to feel more hopeless with time [41]. Impact of vitiligo remains more psychosocial than purely medical in this sense.

    Conclusion

The research in psychodermatology is growing and insightful. The quality of life in these disorders is affected in most cases and various factors negatively affecting it are the chronicity of disorder, inconveniences of the disorders and therapy, lack of uniform response to therapy, cosmetic impact and easy noticeability. The common comorbidities include anxiety, depression which may not be related to clinical severity of these disorders always but psychological deterioration is invariably associated with an exacerbation of the dermatological condition. The liaison between these two disciplines of psychiatry and dermatology holds the key for favourable outcome of the psychodermatological disorders.

Every skin condition has its own unique characteristics, and under most circumstances will need to be diagnosed by a physician to determine cause and course of treatment.

Common Skin Conditions

Shingles- if you have worked with a patient that has shingles, you have undoubtedly seen firsthand how painful and uncomfortable it can make the patient.  Shingles looks very bad on the surface; however the surface is just the beginning of the shingles virus.  It goes under the skin and affects the nerves, which is very painful.  Shingles can cause lasting nerve damage even after the virus is cleared up.  People over age 50 are more likely to develop shingles, and there is a connection between having chicken pox as a child and getting shingles as an adult.  

Fortunately, there is a vaccine to prevent shingles, and anyone over age 50 should inquire regarding the benefits of the vaccine.  

Psoriasis- this is a skin condition similar to eczema. It can appear anywhere, but is often on the legs, arms or neck.  Skin looks rough, dry, and red.  It can be sore, and embarrassing to deal with.  There is no actual cure for psoriasis, but there are numerous medications that help the condition.

Eczema- this common skin condition has varying types. Often on the hands, it can cause very dry skin, cracks, and painful sores.  Medications can help, and in some cases a dermatologist uses UV therapy to help heal.

Basal Cell Carcinoma- this is a form of skin cancer, very often appearing on the legs or arms.  It may look like a very light colored mole, or just an abnormality in the skin.  The only way to diagnose properly is to do a biopsy.  Unlike some other forms of skin cancer, Basal Cell is very slow growing and generally remains in one spot.  This makes this type of skin cancer easily treatable by removing the lesion.  

Melanoma- this form of skin cancer is very dangerous and can spread quickly.  Usually developing from a mole that has darkened, or changed shapes.  This cancer spreads quickly, and should be treated very quickly in order to ensure complete treatment.

Fungal Infections- this can occur virtually anywhere on the body, including the nails.  A fungus of the nails can  be extremely hard to treat, and the best, option is to avoid exposure.  Always wear flip flops when walking near pools, or in gym locker rooms and showers.    This condition can be treated, however it is, often a slow process.  

Related:   Forensic Nurses

Skin conditions can have an impact on someone's life, ranging from mild to severe to fatal.  Conditions such as eczema often mimic the look of ringworm, which can make people uncomfortable and embarrassed.  Certain skin conditions can be painful and unsightly.  Proper treatment and care by a physician can help clear up most conditions in a relatively short amount of time.  It's also important to maintain proper nutrition. As there is a link between skin conditions and poor nutrition.  A multivitamin may help ensure proper nutrition, and natural sunlight in moderation can improve several skin disorders.

Where children are concerned, skin conditions can be very contagious depending on what condition it is.  Day care centers often have outbreaks of skin related illnesses due to unclean hands and close proximity.  There have been occasions that day care centers were required to shut down until proper sanitation measures have been taken.  

Nursing homes also have a high rate of skin infections. MRSA is one that can be deadly if not treated aggressively.    MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics and can be difficult to treat because of this. Anytime you work with a patient that may potentially have MRSA, it's vital to follow all protocol to protect yourself. Because MRSA goes under the skin, it can spread rapidly and cause extreme tissue damage.  

Regardless of what condition occurs, it's important to get a proper diagnosis to begin the correct protocol of care.  Most skin conditions are treatable. A family care provider can advise on the course of treatment. A dermatologist may recommend for a course of testament and therapies to clear the condition.  Follow medical advice and instructions to have any skin conditions treated, and be sure to use moisturizers throughout the day.

Phototherapy Lamps and Units for Aesthetic Medicine Market to Witness Growth by 2026

Phototherapy is one of the most advanced and widely adopted technologies. It is also known as light therapy. It is a technique in which the skin is exposed to light sources at regular time intervals. The mechanism for phototherapy was developed in the the 1950s. Currently, it is popularly used in medicine for conditions such as neonatal jaundice; hyperbilirubinemia; and a number of skin disorders such as eczema, acne vulgaris, psoriasis, and skin cancers. The 2015 research findings by the National Health Survey (NHS) suggest that since 2000, there has been an increase in non-surgical cosmetic procedures and the use of phototherapy equipment by 147%. In this technique, the treatment of skin is performed by rays originating from an electric lamp or phototherapy unit/lamp.

Phototherapy treatments can be delivered to specifically targeted skin areas (affected areas) or to the whole body. Phototherapy units are commonly used for the treatment of infants, but they are also used for the treatment of nursing and pregnant women. Recently, they are also gaining popularity for the treatment of people who lack immunity. Most phototherapy units have no or very few side effects compared to other treatments. Due to this, phototherapy lamps are popularly used in enhancing cosmetic appearance. For example, the lamps are used to reduce signs of aging such as laxity, wrinkles, liver spots, etc.. Phototherapy units and lamps also play a major role in the treatment of obesity, cellulite, and fat. In 2013-2014, Europe’s National Health Service reported that 55,000 cosmetic surgeries were performed in the U.K. alone.

The global phototherapy lamps and units for aesthetic medicine market is estimated to expand rapidly in the coming years. Some of the factors driving the phototherapy lamps and units for aesthetic medicine market are increase in the number of persons suffering from skin diseases and infections. Skin disorders or infections have a significant impact on people’s daily lives. Phototherapy treatments are effective and are widely accepted.

Cow Milk and Its Influence on Our Bodies and Acne

I preach all the time about cow milk. Please, there are other options. Nut milks are really available in all grocery stores. Try them. They are great.

Evidence for acne-promoting effects of milk and other insulinotropic dairy products.

                         Cow Products

Acne vulgaris, the most common skin disease of western civilization, has evolved to an epidemic affecting more than 85% of adolescents. Acne can be regarded as an indicator disease of exaggerated insulinotropic western nutrition. Especially cow milk and whey protein-based products contribute to elevations of postprandial insulin and basal insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) plasma levels. It is the evolutional principle of mammalian milk to promote growth and support anabolic conditions for the neonate during the nursing period. Whey proteins are most potent inducers of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide secreted by enteroendocrine K cells which in concert with hydrolyzed whey protein-derived essential amino acids stimulate insulin secretion of pancreatic β-cells. Increased insulin/IGF-I signaling activates the phosphoinositide-3 kinase/Akt pathway, thereby reducing the nuclear content of the transcription factor FoxO1, the key nutrigenomic regulator of acne target genes. Deficiency has been linked to all major factors of acne pathogenesis, i.e. androgen receptor transactivation, comedogenesis (pore clogging),  increased sebaceous lipogenesis ( oil in the skin), and follicular( pore) inflammation. The elimination of the whey protein-based insulinotropic mechanisms of milk will be the most important future challenge for nutrition research. Both, restriction of milk consumption or generation of less insulinotropic milk will have an enormous impact on the prevention of epidemic western diseases like obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and acne.
