      Post-inflammatory Hyper pigmentation : this is commonly misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated...

  • PIH can occur with various disease processes that affect the skin. These processes include allergic reactions, infections, trauma (wounds, bruises, abrasions; injuries to kidneys, spleen or liver - in a car accident for example) and photo toxic eruptions (allergic reactions to drugs coupled with exposure to sunlight), from picking acne lesions, tweezing or waxing hair, electrolysis, laser treatments, tattoos and  piercing.  See photographs at top of page which demonstrate PIH post-op...

  • Common inflammatory diseases that result in PIH include acne excoriee, lichen planus, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic dermatitis, xeroderma pigmentosum and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, especially erythrodermic variants.

  • Furthermore, lesions of PIH can darken with exposure to UV light (from sun and tanning beds)and various chemicals and medications, such as alimenazine, aminodarone, aspirin, bendroflumethiazide, benoxaprofen, benzydamine, capreomycin, captopril, carprofen, ceftazidime, chlorpromazine, chlortetracycline, clofazimine, dacarbazine, dapsone, demeclocycline, diflunisal, diltiazem, doxycycline, etretinate, fibric acid derivatives, fluoroquinolones, 5-fluorouracil, furosemide, griseofulvin, hematoporphyrin, hydrochlorothiazide, ibuprofen, isotretinoin, ketoconazole, levomepromazine, meclofenamic acid, mepazine, methacycline, methoxsalen, methotrexate, nabumetone, nalidixic acid, naproxen, nortriptyline, oxyphenbutazone, oxytetracycline, Paxil, perazine, phenothiazine, phenylbutazone, phenprocoumon, piroxicam, procarbazine, prochloperazine, promazine, protriptyline, psoralen, pyritinol, quinine, quinidine, resorcin, sulfanilamide, sulfisoxazole, sulindac, tetracycline, thiazide, thiopropazate, thioridazine, tiaprofenic acid, tolbutamide, triflupromazine, trimethoprim, vinblastin, warfarin.

  • Puffy eyes with dark shadows

    Chronic allergies dilate blood vessels and can cause them to leak, which creates puffiness and that telltale dark purple-blue hue. "Many people don't even realize they're suffering from allergies. They come in wanting a professional dermatologic fix because they think it's too early or late in the season for pollen, or they've never had a problem before," explains Ranella Hirsch, M.D., a Boston dermatologist and past president of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery.

    And because allergens also trigger the release of histamine, a chemical that contributes to the puffiness and can make eyes itchy and runny, you rub your eyes. A lot. Which only makes the swelling and discoloration worse. "By irritating the thin skin around your eyes, you may even create more leaky capillaries," says Hirsch.

     

  • Pityriasis versicolor
         Pityriasis versicolor is a common skin condition caused by infection of the dead outer layer of skin cells with a yeast fungus. This causes spots or patches that have either reduced or increased pigmentation - they may be pale and white, brown or even salmon pink.   The rash usually begins on the back (or at least this is where people tend to notice it) and slowly spreads. There are often no other symptoms, although sometimes the spots are a little dry and flaky. See a dermatologist for a diagnosis before self-treating.
         A dose of sunshine can make the difference in pigmentation more obvious so many people first discover the rash when they start unwrapping themselves in the spring or summer.
         The condition isn't contagious. Most of us carry the yeast which causes it on our skin without problems, until some event or trauma to the skin allows the yeast to set up an infection.
         Treatment is simple - you can get antifungal creams or lotions from the pharmacy that must be used regularly all over the skin to clear the fungus. This usually gets rid of the yeast very quickly. However, the skin colour of the spots won't change back to normal until the depigmented areas have been shed, which can take weeks if left untreated.   We sell exfoliating body cleansers and lotions to speed up the removal of damaged cells...see products.  Support your immune system by having a medical or naturopathic doctor treat the systemic yeast (Candida) and make dietary changes .

Safer household cleansers?


   
If you or anyone in your household are sensitive, have auto-immune  or other health issues or are vulnerable to chemical toxins, research online for more information.  If you have young children, especially ones crawling or playing on the floor or carpeting or you have pets, it is very important that you take their safety and health into consideration with any cleaning, air freshening or fragrancing products you use indoors.  When no windows are opened due to weather, these chemicals build up inside the spaces - houses, apartments and offices, when combined with each other form gases and  toxic compounds that living things breathe in all day and night.  Toxins that also build up on hair, fur, upholstery, fabrics and skin.
    
Almost all household cleaning products contain some toxic ingredients, and many contain carcinogens or suspected carcinogens. However, the danger the chemicals pose really depends on how often you use the products and the length of time you're exposed to the fumes. For those with chronic skin problems, like allergies, acne, KP, melasma and more, exposure to sun with these on your skin is a concern!  If you use any of these ingredients in cleaning the house (or office or car) at least wear gloves and disposable face mask (found at drug stores and medical supply stores) and wash all exposed skin well immediately.  Here's a list of several of the common chemicals found in household products and the symptoms they can cause:

The Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov) advises buying only nontoxic, unscented cleaning products; look for them in health-food stores. We use Bac Out by Bio-Kleen.  Another possibility is to substitute gentler products such as baking soda, borax, pure olive oil (not EVOO), fresh lemon or the essential oil of the fruit (found in health stores, day spas and bath shops), club soda, organic brown or white vinegar; coarse, unbleached and unrefined salts and vegetable oil-based liquid soap for most household cleaning.  

Always recycle your old household cleaning products, your cosmetics containers and pharmaceuticals (including aspirin) to your trash hauler.  Do Not Flush or Rinse these containers - the chemicals are not usually processed in the sewer treatment facilities.  Your landfill center is where these items are treated before going into the landfill.  Contain your city information center to make sure.  


Please take note:  ladies, if you are using any kind of hormone therapy - birth control, fertility therapy, menopause, post hysterectomy, PCOS, endometriosis for example, please discuss with your doctor the problems of melasma, skin cancer and  facial hair growth.  If you are taking birth control pills and your doctor wants to put you on antibiotics for acne or for illnesses, please ask questions:  it has been determined that some medications like them will render your birth control pills useless.  Unprotected sun exposure will cause problems with your skin's pigmentation, by the way, and set you up for risks like melasma.  Read more about melasma on our web page by clicking here



Using Hand Sanitizer Reduces Illnesses, USA Study Finds

  Using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer gel significantly reduces the spread of gastro-intestinal infections, influenza and common cold in the home, researchers have proven.  In a 5 month study of 292 family  homes with small children in the Boston area, half of which were given the sanitizers.  The study found that  those who used the gel had a 59% reduction in the spread of GI illnesses.  They were told to place bottles of hand sanitizers around the home and apply it to hands after using the toilet, before handling food and after diaper changes.  The other half of study families were given materials on nutrition and told not to use hand sanitizers.  Study published in issue of Pediatrics.


Editor's note:  if you spot a bump on your skin with a crater in it GO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST!  It might be "contagious Molluscum."  Commonly spread through using unsanitary towels and gym equipment, sharing clothes, linens or cosmetics, it will spread on your body if you pick or rub the bumps.

For those with broken capillaries, use Rosacea Relief  for an all natural solution to visible capillary damage from rosacea, telangiectasia, high blood pressure, pregnancy, alcohol use, sun damage, cold and wind damage, smoking and more.  Instead of trying to cover up unsightly blood vessels, protect and repair them with this capillary cream.  Formulated with horse chestnut extract to minimize the appearance of capillaries and varicose veins (which appear when blood vessels lose elasticity and become congested with blood).

This action promotes elasticity and may prevent swelling and long term damage.

Ultra V Screen, SPF 30

Reduces redness, soothes the skin, feels much lighter than other SPF 30 and higher sunscreens!  Protect your skin every day from the damaging effects of the sun and of tanning beds.  Ultra violet light stresses the epidermis cells so that not only do lines and wrinkles form, skin pigment begins to darken in spots and patches called hyper pigmentation and most importantly - the skin's own immune system is weakened by repeat exposure.  

Avoid using sun screen products near the eyes unless they are specifically formulated for such use.  Spf over 10 can sting the eyes!  Avoid getting any below the eye brows and above the cheekbone, wash hands before applying eye products after you've used a sunscreen on the face.  Use Micro TZ for your eye area or check and see if your eye make up offers sunscreen protection, ladies.

Formulation: 
Active Sun Screens are Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) 7.5%, Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) 6%, Ethylhexyl Salicylate (Octisalate) 5%,

Tocopherol, 
Sodium Hyaluronate
Warning:  those on blood thinning medications must not use this formulation with the Salicylates.  Salicylates may possible disrupt natural homones (we are monitoring research at this time to make sure) so only use this lotion when needed for sun exposure.  Use DNA Protect instead.
