Rosacea, Keratosis Pilaris, Rubra, Psoriasis, Eczema...
Editor's note: if you spot a flesh colored bump on your skin with a crater in it GO SEE DERMATOLOGIST! It might be "contagious Molluscum." Commonly spread through using unsanitary towels and gym equipment at your club or spa, sharing clothes, linens or cosmetics - it will spread on your body if you pick or rub the bumps. It might be Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a form of skin cancer that can be easily treated with early detection. If you find a blueish-purple lump under the skin, get to a doctor immediately and ask "is this Merkel Cell Carcinoma?" Many doctors I have spoken to this year have not heard of this very dangerous, newly identified form of fast acting skin cancer so you must take the initiative and see that your doctor looks it up!

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

Smoking
May Worsen Psoriasis
Heavy smokers may be putting their skin at risk.
A new study shows people who smoked more than a pack of cigarettes per day were twice as likely to have severe psoriasis as those who smoked 10 cigarettes or less per day. Researchers say the results suggest that cigarette smoking may exacerbate existing psoriasis, and highlights the need for people with the skin condition to quit smoking. Smoking is a risk factor for many other diseases, such as lung cancer and heart disease, but little is known about its relationship to psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that is not contagious or life-threatening, but it causes itchy and sometimes embarrassing red, scaly patches on the skin. Psoriasis can also affect the nails and joints
In the study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, researchers compared smoking history and severity of psoriasis in 818 adults with psoriasis. The results showed that people who smoked heavily had twice the risk of severe psoriasis compared with light smokers. In addition, an increasing number of cigarette-years (a measurement of both the intensity and duration of smoking) also raised the risk of severe psoriasis. Researchers found that the effect of cigarette-years on psoriasis severity was stronger for women than for men. This means that present women smokers and recent quitters had a higher risk (72%) for worse psoriasis.
In an editorial that accompanies the study, Mark G. Lebwohl, MD, of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, says the study shows researchers still have a lot to learn about psoriasis. For example, the study does not answer whether psoriasis leads to smoking or smoking exacerbates psoriasis.
