Download or read book Pimple Perfect written by Andrew Oh and published by Self-published. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially recognized as the first illustrative children’s book about acne! Why is this happening to me?!?! William goes to school one day when his classmates notice a bunch of mysterious red bumps on his face! Feeling afraid, William desperately searches for answers and is introduced to the world of acne. Based on a true story, Pimple Perfect is the perfect way to introduce your child and/or student to acne, the most common skin condition in the world. With Andrew Oh’s educational, childhood story and his sister Jackie Oh’s youthful and endearing illustrations, this family-oriented picture book teaches young readers about the ins and outs of acne and how to love their own skin regardless. Promoting Acne Education Acne is the most common skin condition in the world. However, many kids do not receive formal education on what exactly is acne nor what causes the pimples and bumps they see. Pimple Perfect walks readers through the concept of acne, what causes it, and the best hygiene practices to potentially prevent outbreaks. Eliminating Acne Stigma Unfortunately, acne is often stigmatized in various communities, especially schools. A large part of this is due to a lack of acne awareness and representation in media. This has caused students who have struggled with acne to lose confidence and grapple with self-image. Pimple Perfect encourages readers to accept themselves for who they uniquely are and provides real-life examples of how they can make a positive, accepting impact in their own schools. ***All proceeds from Pimple Perfect are donated to the American Skin Association, a volunteer-led health organization dedicated, through research, education, and advocacy, to saving lives and alleviating human suffering caused by the full spectrum of skin disease (https://www.americanskin.org/about/).

Download or read book Preventive Dermatology written by Robert A. Norman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest book, Dr. Robert A. Norman introduces us to the intriguing concept of preventive dermatology. Although dermatologists have long been patient advocates and have stressed vigorously on the importance of sun avoidance and protection, there is still much more that we can do to prevent disease. Dr. Norman and his skilled coterie of collaborators discuss two distinct types of prevention in dermatology: the prevention of skin diseases and the prevention of s- temic disorders, some with only very indirect connections to the skin. The frst is fairly well known to dermatologists; the second is truly an emerging concept of great importance. Educational efforts to prevent or at least control skin disease may range from the proper use of sunscreens to weight loss in psoriatic patients, the avoidance of trigger factors in rosacea, proper skin care in atopic dermatitis, or adoption of a low-fat diet to decrease the incidence of actinic keratosis and nonmelanoma skin cancer. Another good example is the use of vaccines to protect against diseases such as herpes zoster and genital HPV infection in females.
Download or read book pH of the Skin Issues and Challenges written by C. Surber and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of expressing acidity as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration was defined and termed pH in the beginning of the 20th century. The general usefulness of the pH concept for life science was recognized and later gained importance to analytical research. Reports on results of pH measurements from living skin established the term acid mantle - the skin's own protective shield that maintains a naturally acid pH. It is invisible to the eye but crucial to the overall wellbeing of skin. Chronic alkalization can throw this acid mantle out of balance, leading to inflammation, dermatitis, and atopic skin diseases. It is therefore no surprise, that skin pH shifts have been observed in various skin pathologies. It is also obvious that the pH in topically applied preparations may play an important role. Optimal pH and buffer capacity within topical preparations not only support stability of active ingredients and auxiliary materials, but may also increase absorption of the non-ionized species of an acidic or a basic active ingredient. They may even open up opportunities to modify and "correct" skin pH and hence accelerate barrier recovery and maintain or enhance barrier integrity. Further efforts are needed to standardize and improve pH measurements in biological media or pharmaceutical/cosmetic vehicles to increase and ensure quality, comparability, and relevance of research data. In this volume, we present a unique collection of papers that address past, present and future issues of the pH of healthy and diseased skin. It is hoped that this collection will foster future efforts in clinical and experimental skin research.
