  • Health Economics and Dermatology
    Extracts from the Lectures of the 32nd Nordic Congress of Dermato-Venereology, Tampere, Finland Hyperpigmentation is a common symptom but will not pro- vide much valuable information to help diagnosing the skin condition. Almost all skin diseases in dark skin can give hyper- pigmentation at some point, especially if they have a chronic or protracted course. A non-specific hyperchromia can darken the elementary lesions of the underlying dermatosis, which could mislead the physician when examining the patient. Hyperpigmentation is the main cause of consultation of dark- skinned patients but the list of causes of hyperpigmentation is countless, thus topography and additional signs should help the physician. Three conditions are of particular exception, namely acne, lichen planus and prurigo lesions in HIV patients. Hypopigmentation on the other hand is an important sign for diagnosis and hypopigmentation also severely impairs the quality of life of the patients. Causes of permanent achromia Fig. 2.

  • Young Adults Young Adults (20 - 35 Years)
    YOUNG ADULTS YOUNG ADULTS (20 - 35 YEARS) A large number of skin diseases reach their peak of expression during the young adult years, and these individuals also represent a large and growing proportion of the South African population, in common with other developing countries. Young adults are especially distressed by skin conditions that are uncomfortable, disfiguring or contagious. This group has also been severely affected by HIV/AIDS, with a consequent increase in the frequency and severity of the HIV- associated dermatoses. Some of these conditions have been discussed in other sections of this review. ACNE KELOIDALIS Inflammatory papules and pustules located mainly on the nape of the neck and occiput characterise this acne-like condition. It primarily affects black males.

  • Skin and Sweating Problems in Parkinson's Eople with Parkinson’S Sometimes Have Problems with Their Skin, Pand How Much Or How Little They Sweat
    Information and support Skin and sweating problems in Parkinson's eople with Parkinson’s sometimes have problems with their skin, Pand how much or how little they sweat. Some people may only have minor issues while others may have more severe problems that can affect daily life. This information sheet explains what symptoms you may experience and what you can do to manage them. Skin and scalp problems Oily skin The skin has glands that produce an oily substance called sebaceous matter or sebum. Sebum is important as it protects the skin and keeps it supple. People with Parkinson’s may produce more sebum than normal. This condition is known as seborrhoea. It means the skin, particularly the face and scalp, becomes greasy and shiny. If you experience this, remember that oily skin can affect anyone and there are a number of treatments available. How to manage oily skin Try using a mild soap or a gentle cleanser and water, or an oil-free soap substitute. Avoid cosmetic products that contain alcohol, or that irritate your skin. Speak to your GP or pharmacist for more advice on suitable products. Seborrhoeic dermatitis This is a condition where areas of the skin that have lots of sebaceous glands become red, itchy and sore. The skin also peels and flakes, and may develop thick crusts or scales. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common problem, although people with Parkinson’s are likely to develop it. The main areas affected include: y the scalp – in mild cases skin can flake off as dandruff. In more severe cases, people may have a red, scaly scalp, sometimes with a weeping rash y the face – this can look red and sore, and sometimes scaly.
