Title: Cellulite
1Cellulite
2About Cellulite
- Cellulite is a name given for collections of fat
that push against the connective tissue beneath a
person's skin. This causes the skin to lumps
together. - You can check to see if you have cellulite by
pushing the skin together on your upper thigh,
and if it is lumpy you probably have it. It is
very common in women and some men.
3Types of Cellulite
- Hard cellulite- the tissue is visible, it may be
flabby but the tissue is not sensitive. - Soft cellulite- This has a dimpling effect and is
normally sensitive.

6Why Do Your Fingers Wrinkle after a long bath?
- Your fingers wrinkle after a long bath because
the keratin in your skin (epidermis, to be
specific) absorbs water. As a result, there is
too much stratum corneum, and it (your skin)
wrinkles. It occurs specifically on your hands
and feet because there is more skin there,
leaving more keratin to absorb water.

13What is a freckle?
- A cluster of concentrated melanin
- Most visible on a fair complexion
- also called an "ephelis."
- The formation of freckles is triggered by
exposure to sunlight - Genetic
Anna McGehee 5th period
14Continued
- The exposure to UV radiation activates
melanocytes which causes freckles to become
darker - Ephelides freckle that is flat, light brown or
red, and fades in the winter

16What is a mole?
- Moles (nevi) are growths on the skin caused by
cells called melanocytes that grow in a cluster
with the tissue surrounding them - Moles can be found anywhere on the body, in
groups or alone. They are either pink, brown or
black.
17What is a mole?
- To make sure a mole is not cancerous, look for
the ABCs of moles - AsymmetryOne half of the mole does not match the
other half. - BorderThe border or edges of the mole are
ragged, blurred, or irregular. - ColorThe color of the mole is not the same
throughout or has shades of tan, brown, black,
blue, white, or red. - DiameterThe diameter of a mole is larger than
the eraser of a pencil. - ElevationA mole appears elevated, or raised from
the skin. - Inherited or formed later

19Seborrhea
- What is Seborrhea?
- Also know as Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Seborrhea means too much oil
- very common skin condition (Overactive sebaceous
glands) - causes an itchy, inflamed, red rash with white
scales - Usually on the scalp or face- folds of nose,
behind the ears, forehead, eyebrows and eyelids
- What causes Seborrhea?
- Not fully understood
- Results from neither too little moisture nor too
much oil - Hormones, stress
- Yeast-like organism
By Sally Morris
www.visualdxhealth.com
20Seborrhea
- Treatment
- For scalp- dandruff shampoo
- Moisturizing only makes it worse
- For face- wash every day with soap and water,
rest and exercising outdoors (sunlight can stop
the growth of the yeast organism)
- Who gets Seborrhea
- Common in infants (cradle cap)
- Adults and elderly people
- More common in men than women
- People with oily skin
- People with Parkinsons Disease or AIDS
- Is there hope with Seborrhea?
- If Seborrhea is a result of an underlying medical
problem, then it should go away - However, in most cases, seborrhea is a lifetime
condition for which there is no cure, only
treatment ?

21Goose bumps
22What are goose bumps?
- These bumps appear at the base of the hairs on a
persons skin when they experience cold or
emotions such as fear or shock.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image2003-09-17_Goos
e_bumps.jpg
23What causes goose bumps?
- They are created when the arrectores pilorum, the
muscle at the base of the hair, contracts. This
pulls this hair up and causes the bumps that look
like those on a plucked goose. - (piloerection)

25What are carbuncles?
26Carbuncles
- A carbuncle is a lump on the skin full of pus
(white blood cells), dead skin, and fluid. - Caused by a bacteria called staphylococcus
aureus. (bacterial infection of hair follicles) - It is made of groups of hair follicles and
numerous boils. - They range in size from a pea to a golf ball.
- A carbuncle is red and can hurt when touched
- The direct cause of a carbuncle can sometimes not
be determined
27Carbuncles
- They are contagious and can spread to other parts
of the body but also to other people that come in
contact to the infection. - They are most commonly found on nape of neck and
back, but they can form anywhere. - Can be caused by poor hygiene and rubbing from
clothing or shaving
- http//img87.imageshack.us/img87/1407/246810e3399w

- Overtime the carbuncle can drain itself, but if
its too deep in the skin it will not be able to
on its own

32Facts About Boils
- Boils are also referred to as skin abscesses
- They are actually localized infections deep in
the skin, starting usually in an oil gland or
hair follicle - After a while, the center becomes soft and fills
with pus, infection-fighting white blood cells - There are many different types of boils
33Types of Boils
- Furuncle or carbuncle is a type caused by
staphylococcus aureus. - Cystic acne is when oil ducts become clogged and
infected. - Hidradenitis suppurativa forms in the armpits and
in the groin. This usually occurs when sweat
glands are inflamed. - Pilonidal cysts happen in the crease of the
buttocks in hair follicles
- bp0.blogger.com/.../hLuMXD3v1Ls/s320/boil2.jpg
34How to Prevent Boils
- Most boils can be treated at home using heat
- This increases circulation and helps the body
fight the boil - It can also be drained or lanced by a healthcare
provider - Antibiotics can also fight boils off

36Gray Hair
- When you are born, your hair is originally white.
The melanocytes in our hair follicles create
pigments including melanin. - The more melanin produced in our hair, the darker
the hair is going to be and the less melanin
there the lighter the hair color will be. - When the melanocytes stop producing melanin, then
the hairs become transparent. But against the
dark hair, they appear gray.
37Gray Hair
- Gray hair is not related to the age of the
recipient, but aging does speed up the process of
aging because the older we get, the less melanin
our hair follicles produce. Gray hair spans
between teens and men and women of the age of 50.
- Heredity plays a major role in when we will get
gray hair. If one of your parents started to
gray early, then you will probably gray early as
well.

39What Causes Hair to Fall Out?
40What causes hair to fall out?
- Hair loss is a normal routine in our everyday
life. It is normal to lose between 100 to 125
strands a day. - Our hair follicles are produced in the dermis.
- There are three main reasons for hair loss
hormonal, disease/Illness, and mechanical damage.
-
http//www.viewzone.com/hairloss1.jpg
41Hair Loss
- Disease/Illness- hair follicles are sensitive,
may have hair loss if imbalance. Have fever or
flu, medications, surgery, cancer, and
medication. - Mechanical Damage-straightening, braiding,
bleaching. The stress on hair follicles can
strain it. - Hormonal- androgen dihydrotestoterone is produced
in both men and women. It is a hormone that can
help create hair loss, through genetics. Other
hormonal ways are childbirth and birth control.

43What is a Blister?
- A blister is a protruding area of skin filled
with liquid - They are caused from high friction or rubbing on
bare skin such as tight shoes, and using objects
with bare hands - Blisters usually form a lot quicker than calluses
- Usually heal on their own as long as no more
irritation occurs
Mrs. Scott, 5th Period
44Blisters
- Fever blisters are the number one type of
blisters occurring today - Staying well hydrated prevents the chance of
developing a blister - The fluid found in blisters in commonly called
serum (which is part blood) - Blood blisters can sometime leave a scar as it
damages the inner portions of the skin - Skin lifts and fills with fluid below

46Callous
- A callous is an especially
- toughened area of skin which
- has become relatively thick and
- hard as a response to repeated
- contact or pressure. (fibrous tissue forms)
- Since repeated contact is
- required, calluses are most often
- found on hands or feet. Calluses
- are generally not harmful, but may
- sometimes lead to other problems,
- such as infection.
47How to treat a callous
- A common method, often done by a podiatrist is to
shave the calluses down, and perhaps pad them. - The most basic treatment is to put a
friction-reducing insole or material into the
shoe, or against the foot. In some cases, this
will reduce the painfulness without actually
making the callus go away. - Salicylic acid can be used for two reasons, it
decreases keratinocyte adhesion, and it increases
water binding which leads to hydration of the
keratin. - Using a cutting instrument such as a knife to
cut it away is dangerous because it can result in
bleeding of the foot and infection. - At other times, surgical correction of the
pressure is needed. - Types of Carp have been used in a northern
Virginia spa to get rid of calluses.This practice
has since been banned in some US states.

49 Why Do Paper Cuts Hurt So Much? By Arabella
Barlow
50- Although paper cuts are small they sting more
than any other cut, and do not stopwhy? - Common Theories
- The microscopic structure of the paper
- The chemicals used in paper plants
- Bacteria living on our faxes
- Dermatologists know that these theories are
wrong, but the reason for this pain still remains
somewhat of a medical mystery.
51No One Really Knows, but some educated
guesses The nerve fibers in our hands that send
touch and pain messages to our brain-nociceptors
are more numerous in our hands (pieces of paper
hit this and are left behind with bacteria) than
in the arms, legs, or stomach. Paper is part of
the problem paper is sharp and the combination
of papers qualities results in awful cuts. The
flexible dull edge of a piece of paper does not
go very deep into the skin, although this sounds
less painful, its actually more painful. This is
called microscopic damage, and the reason
microscopic damage hurts much worse is because it
hits the most sensitive nerves. Larger nerves
send a dull aching pain and are deeper under the
skin, and since the paper cut is shallow it
brings on a stinging sensation, not an aching
pain. Because the cuts are shallow, they are less
likely to bleed, clot, and seal up the wound with
a scab so the raw nerves are open to the air
which continues the sending of pain messages to
the brain.

53What Causes Bedsores?
- Bedsores, also called Decubitus ulcers and
pressure sores, are ulcers that arise on areas of
the skin that are under extensive periods of
pressure or force. Some of the most common causes
of bedsores come from lying in bed, sitting in a
wheelchair, and/or wearing a cast for a prolonged
period of time. One usually feels bedsores in
places such as the tail bone, elbows, ankles,
heels, and sometimes deep enough as the muscle. - A bed sore can develop if blood supply to the
skin is cut off for more than two to three hours
at a time. As the skin dies, the bed sore begins
as a red, painful area, which eventually turns
purple. - Bedsores can be treated, but you must find a
doctor as soon as possible. If left unattended,
the sore can break open, resulting in an
infection. - Common procedures on treating Bedsores include
removing pressure, cleaning out the sore,
antibiotic ointments, and as a last resort,
surgical removal.
Alexis Marcus 5th
54What causes Bedsores?
- Bedsores can be prevented with good nutrition,
keeping clean and dry linens, turning those
mobile in bed frequently, soft padding in
stabilized areas such as a wheelchair, and
keeping the skin dry and clean.

56What causes bruising?
- Usually bruising happens when you bump into
something. - When you hit and object it causes the capillaries
to burst, leave blood below the skin. - Another reason for bruising is lack of vitamin K,
E, and C.
Jessica Bruno, 5th period
57What causes Bruising?
- Sometimes certain medicines or medical problems
leave bruises behind. - Bruises can be anywhere including inside your
body. - Some people bruise easier than others. People
with O type blood tend to bruise easily because
of the chemical composition of O blood cells.

59CYANOSIS
Cyanosis is a physical condition in which the
skin turns a bluish color. The bluish color
results from skin and mucus membranes being
discolored. It is caused by a lack of Oxygen in
the blood. Cyanosis is associated with cold
temperatures, heart failure, lung disease and
smothering. It is common among infants. The
blue color is shown mostly in the beds of finger
nails, on the lips, and on the tongue.
Caroline Lassiter 5th
60CYANOSIS
- There is hemoglobin in the blood and when mixed
with oxygen it turns a reddish color, but when
the oxygen isnt present the color is bluish. - It often originates with a heart condition which
causes the blood to be unevenly distributed
between the left and right sides of the heart and
oxygen not being distributed. - Cyanosis can be treated with antibiotics- also
less exposure to cold temperatures, and keeping
the body temperature warm helps too.

radiation from the sun, and infection.
63- Erythema is very common to every human and
everyone will most likely get it sometime in
their life. - There are many different types of Erythema
because of the huge amount of things that can

65Pallor and Blanching
- Pallor is caused by a reduced amount of
oxyhemoglobin in the epidermis. - Shock, stress and avoiding excessive exposure to
sunlight (causes lack of melanin), can cause the
body to become a pale white shade. - This color is common in people from European
descent. - Blanching of skin is usually a localized reaction
caused by being cold, or because there could be a
lack of blood flow to that certain tissue.

67What causes hair to grow?
- Hair grows by forming new cells at the bottom of
the root. These cells reproduce to form a rod of
tissue in the skin. The rods of cells move upward
through the skin as new cells form beneath them. - As they move up, they're cut off from their
supply of food and start to form a hard protein
called keratin in a process called
keratinization. As this process happens, the hair
cells die. The dead cells and keratin shape the
shaft of the hair. - Each hair grows about 1/4 inch every month and
keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then
falls out and another grows in its place. - The length of a person's hair depends on the
length of the growing stage of the follicle. - Follicles are functioning for 2 to 6 years they
rest for about 3 months after that. A person
becomes bald if the scalp follicles become
inactive and no longer make new hair. - Thick hair grows out of large follicles skinny
follicles produce thin hair.

68What causes nails to grow?
- Nails grow out of deep folds in the skin of the
fingers and toes. As epidermal cells below the
nail root go up to the surface of the skin, they
add in number, and those next to the nail root
become nails- flattened and pressed firmly
together. Each cell is changed into a thin plate
these plates are piled in layers to form the
nail. - As with hair, nails are formed by keratinization.
When the nail cells builds up, the nail is pushed
forward. - The skin underneath the nail is called the
matrix. The larger part of the nail, the nail
plate, looks pink because of the network of tiny
blood vessels in the underlying dermis. The
whitish crescent-shaped part at the base of the
nail is called the lunula. - Like hair, nails grow more rapidly in summer than
in winter. Though the fingernails and toenails
grow an average of two inches per year, their
growth slows with age, and the average adult's
fingernails grow only one inch over the course of
eight months. - White spots on the nail are sometimes due to
temporary changes in growth rate.
