			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The rash occurs in different forms, but it usually appears on the skin. The rash is one of the most common symptoms of allergies. they are present throughout the body, but they manifest themselves as skin rash &#8211; or localized, can cause a rash at a specific location; on the hand, body, surface of skin and <a href="http://www.skinrashes.org/scalp.htm">scalp rashes</a>. They often occur after eating a particular food like eggs, milk, soybeans, fish, peanuts and wheat. They can also be triggered by something you&#8217;ve touched with the hands, the classic example is poison ivy. These are different types of skin allergy allergies you need to know :</p>
<p><strong>Hives</strong><br />
Urticaria is an inflammatory reaction of the skin manifested by a rash that resembles the sting of nettles: that is red, swollen and it is scratched</p>
<p><strong>Acne</strong><br />
Acne is a dermatosis (skin disease) inflammatory of pilosebaceous follicles (the glands that secrete sebum, the root hairs) with formation of comedones. Typically, it starts at puberty and affects 90% of adolescents, more or less severe. It ceases spontaneously, usually in late adolescence.</p>
<p><strong>The Atopic Dermat (or atopic eczema)</strong><br />
It is a dermatological lesions characterized by dry, scaly and very itchy. The spots usually appear between ages 3 months and 2 years. Approximately 10% of children are concerned. The atopic dermatitis occurs in individuals genetically predisposed to atopy and its manifestations (eg asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergies). In 60% cases, one parent is atopic. One of the predominant factors in the genesis of atopic dermatitis is dry skin.</p>
<p><strong>eczema</strong><br />
Eczema is characterized by lesions shredded (with irregular contours), sometimes microvesicles (acute <a href="http://www.skinrashes.org/">eczema skin rashes</a>) or dry. These lesions are characterized functionally by intense pruritus (itching). </p>
<p><strong>Psoriasis</strong><br />
The Psoriasis is a skin disease of unclear origin, in part genetic. This dermatological affects 2% of the population.</p>
<p>The epidermis is repeated too quickly, in only four to six days instead of the usual three weeks and this causes localized inflammation. The epidermal cells accumulate on the surface of the skin and form a layer of white film called dander. Perfectly harmless, it nevertheless has the disadvantage of being unsightly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.scalp-health.com/dht-blocker.htm">Itchy scalp hair loss</a> can be caused by several factors, even stress. We see few, however, note that it is necessary to consult a physician to treat in depth a significant issue.</p>
<p>To begin, talk about films, what are they? When the scalp gets a makeover, it removes dead skin. In principle, this renewal does not cause any problems. Furthermore, it is possible that these cells or films grow and multiply abnormally. These will be dry or oily.</p>
<p>You will easily recognize the dry films, because they are all small and light, they fall from the hair like a shower of snow. A dry film also indicates a dry scalp. We must therefore refrain from using special shampoos designed against dandruff. You further irritate the back of your head. Opt instead for a shampoo to dry hair aside, the pH is balanced according to the state.</p>
<p>Unlike dry dandruff, oily dandruff are large and heavy because they are soaked in oil. Watch out for shampoos too strippers who could, through action too drying effect, causing an excess of sebum.</p>
<p>The appropriate treatment for the film passes through the respect of your scalp. Do not attack him with shampoo or other products too strippers. Avoid the water too hot and too hot hair dryer. These are basic tips, see your doctor if your problem gets worse, to have an accurate diagnosis.</p>
<p>You can also experience <a href="http://www.scalp-health.com/">itchy scalp</a> caused by seborrheic dermatitis, caused by a fungus called Malassezia furfur or Pityrosporum ovale. Or, itching caused by psoriasis, skin disease that can spread to the scalp. It comes with thick crusts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Treatment is not necessary if you are comfortable with their appearance. Hair extensions, hairpieces or use the change in style may disguise hair loss. This is usually the least expensive and safest approach for male baldness.</p>
<p>There are two main drugs used for male pattern baldness treatment:</p>
<p>1. Minoxidil (Rogaine): a solution that you apply directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. It slows hair loss for many men and some men grow new hair. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop applying the solution.</p>
<p>2. Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar): a prescription pill that inhibits the production of male hormone dihydrotestosterone. As with minoxidil, the person is more likely to have slower hair loss than actual new hair growth. It is generally more effective than minoxidil. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop taking the medication.</p>
<p>Hair transplants involve removing tiny plugs of hair from areas where the hair is continuing to grow and placing them in areas that are balding. This can cause minor scarring in areas where hair is removed and a small risk of skin infection. The procedure usually requires multiple transplantation sessions and may be costly. However, the results are often excellent and permanent.</p>
<p>Not recommended Suturing hair to the scalp, which can result in scars, infections and abscess at that site. The use of hair implants made of artificial fibers was banned by the FDA because of the high infection rate. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Currently only two products, one topic (minoxidil) and oral [Finasteride (Propecia)], are effective in the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia. All others have no proven clinical efficacy and scientific rigor in its application.</p>
<p>- MINOXIDIL:<br />
It is a potent peripheral vasodilator, administered orally, was used in the treatment of hypertension. In 1981 started its topical treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Its ultimate mechanism of action remains unknown (its vasodilator action does not fully justify its effectiveness), but it has shown a direct effect on the proliferation of follicular keratinocytes. Habitually used in alcoholic solution in concentrations ranging from 2-5% (in Spain only sold to 2% but is open for development at higher concentrations, with increased efficiency, which can be added to retinoic acid enhancing its effect) . It is useful to both men and women (the latter more effective, since there is a percentage of males in which the product is not effective). In your application you need to know that:</p>
<p>* Must remain in contact with the scalp at least 4 hours before retiring in the wash.<br />
* The product should be applied twice daily (1 cc. Each time) accompanied by a gentle friction.<br />
* The first results take two months to appear, so that its use must be consistent.<br />
* Fundamentally recover hair that is &#8220;miniaturizing&#8221;, which again is as thick pigmented terminal hair, which means serving recovering the &#8220;fluff&#8221;. It will therefore be useful only to certain stages of alopecia (without exceeding the Grade III Ebling). There is therefore a &#8220;hair-restorer. Its primary use is the maintenance of hair once we reach the possible recovery of follicles.<br />
* As described side effects: hair in the beard area (important appearance in women) is eliminated as the drug is stopped, headache in 10% of cases, and mild local irritation.<br />
* By suspending the drug more than 4 months is a drop of hair with loss of all the profit. </p>
<p>Finasteride (Propecia):<br />
Testosterone does not act directly on the follicle, but its active metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT), step regulated by an enzyme present in the follicles, 5-a-reductase type II. Finasteride works by inhibiting this enzyme, so that the transition to DHT is not produced and the process of &#8220;miniaturization&#8221; (follicle atrophy) stops, making some of these follicles, even in a time reversible process, recover its thickness and pigmentation, resulting in clinical improvement. This will result in a degree that depends on the number of follicles that are still in a time reversible. Patients who primarily benefit from the drug are men between 18 and 45 with mild to moderate alopecia (grades II-IV scale Ebling). The areas where improvement is mainly observed in the interparietal region and the &#8220;crown&#8221;, being less effective in &#8220;tickets.&#8221; In women, this treatment is now contraindicated. The first results can be seen in the first three months, being observed in many cases an improvement continued until about 18 months of treatment. The optimal treatment indication is to take a daily tablet of 1 mgr. for at least two years. Under these conditions the drug is effective in 86% of boys (much higher rate than that obtained with minoxidil). However, it is advisable to keep the daily intake of 1 mgr. continuously, since the discontinuation of more than 9-12 months represents a return to the previous situation. Furthermore higher doses pose no additional benefit and the possibility of side effects, which do not appear with the recommended dose. Among these side effects highlights the decreased libido, although it must be emphasized that they are described at the recommended dose of 1 mgr. At this dose are not necessary analytical checks or any kind of warning or limitation on the taking of other drugs.</p>
<p>It is important to emphasize that as of today, these are the only two effective treatments in male androgenetic alopecia (in postmenopausal women can use oral antiandrogens dermatologist guidelines and controls its management if necessary). All treatments are effective in their application or ingestion, and not solve the problem &#8220;forever&#8221; but require continuity.</p>
<p>Other &#8220;solutions&#8221;:<br />
Before the appearance of the finasteride, a treatment for male androgenetic alopecia was disappointing. This led to the emergence of numerous &#8220;remedies&#8221; which usually owned by non-specialists in dermatology, promising results &#8220;miraculous.&#8221; Such is the case of ozone application, laser treatment or the insistent &#8220;on the root&#8221; follicle &#8220;weakened&#8221; and seborrhea. None of this is effective. The many lotions and blisters base their initial improvement in the placebo effect associated with the application of any substance &#8220;forward&#8221;, and the friction that accompanies their application which, by itself, produces a slight improvement in the first two months of use.</p>
<p>Some supplements such as cystine, soybeans and other minerals have their own space deficiency in certain situations: after childbirth or illness, crash dieting &#8230; where a supplement can help retrieve the follicle. This is the case of some types of diffuse alopecia by telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia is not where these products are meaningless. The use of vitamins has been popularized and justified without any rigorous or scientific study to support efficacy of their use. Therefore should not be recommended as naturally by other devices, since hypervitaminosis may lead to a dangerous situation to be avoided. It is true that a vitamin deficiency causes changes in the hair, but it would be a symptom of a consistent deficiency in extremely serious, fortunately difficult to see in our environment, except in cases of anorexia, alcoholism, or similar. </p>
<p>SHAMPOOS, DYES<br />
The hair can be washed daily, even several times a day, if for example the practice of sports makes it necessary. It is better to use gentle shampoos often used, alternating with shampoos recommended treatment by a dermatologist if there is also seborrheic dermatitis. External products like hair gel, hair dyes, conditioners, etc. Not involved in the process of atrophy of the follicle, and how much can dry the terminal keratin that makes up the &#8220;stem&#8221; of hair, without that again, this is a situation that alters the course of a hormonally determined. The same recommendation applies with respect to wear their hair short or long, although involving traction hairstyles (braids, very marked and striped tie, etc.). Could irreversibly damage the hair follicles in involved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nine out of ten pregnant women suffer &#8220;maternal mobbing&#8221;, ie violence or harassment, particularly in their workplace, according to a report of the Godmother Foundation indicating that the crisis has worsened in more than 20 points the dismissal or abandonment of work due to maternity.</p>

<p>The Foundation states that eight out of ten women have &#8220;very limited&#8221; access or maintain their jobs or suffer a severe penalty in terms of promotion or salary compensation. The study the profile of women who suffer &#8220;maternal mobbing&#8221; is an employee of an SME of 25 to 30 years, pregnant, which presents &#8220;a high psycho-social risk&#8221; and has basic training, children under three years and partner.</p>
<p>Likewise, bullying suffered by these women is exercised by 60 percent in SMEs, 19 per cent in the public company, 17 percent in large companies and multinationals, and 4 percent in family businesses.</p>
<p>Your pregnancy gives bad image</p>

According to data collected by CSIC Godmother, 60 per cent of women have seen their work or have stopped work or promotion because of her motherhood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Experts caution. According to the Spanish Society of Allergology (SEAIC), three in ten children under five suffer from <a href="http://www.rflcentraloahu.org/wellness/atopic-dermatitis-or-eczema-treatment-in-babies/">atopic dermatitis</a>. Eczema and itching are the symptoms that usually warn of the emergence of this disease, which particularly affects infants and children. In most cases, episodes are not serious. The condition arises because the patient has a hypersensitivity to certain substances, foods, pollen, fabrics like wool, &#8220;what makes you more likely to develop allergies,&#8221; explains Fernando Allegue, dermatologist at the USP Hospital San Carlos de Murcia. According to SEAIC, more than half of children with atopic dermatitis develop bronchial asthma in youth.</p>
<p>After hiding atopic dermatitis genetic factors, 60% of patients have a parent with allergies. Autumn and spring are the critical times of the year. When you see the problem, parents must &#8220;avoid forms of ventilation that dry the skin&#8221;, such as heating or air conditioning without humidifiers and too much power.</p>
<p>Treatment hydrates the skin through gels, creams and bath oils special. In this way, you control the itch. If the outbreak is more severe, we must provide antihistamines. But not worth anyone who is not sleepy are not as effective. When atopic dermatitis is more serious, makes use of corticosteroids. However, by their side effects, many doctors now opt for another type of drugs known as immunomodulators.</p>
<p>The debate among experts is open. The Spanish Society of warns that &#8220;Overall, the incidence and prevalence of allergic diseases has increased,&#8221; and warning that atopic dermatitis is a &#8220;first step&#8221; you can continue with bronchial asthma or rhinitis.</p>
<p>Not only are cases of this type of dermatitis. Also, the hives, affecting two out of ten people, or by contact eczema, which have 4.2% of the population and can develop after the application of cosmetics or topical medications.</p>
<p>Experts advise to go to the specialist to undergo a skin-testing Allergy studies. Begin early treatment is crucial because research shows that &#8220;patients suffering from skin allergies, especially those affected by urticaria, are the group most affected Allergy considering their daily lives, over asthmatics and those suffering rhinitis. The hives are actually allergic disease that occur more sick leave affects school performance.</p>

<p>Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema is an inflammatory disease characterized by dry skin, itching, red lesions and course more or less chronic and recurrent. It usually begins during childhood and gradually fade with age but may persist or even appear for the first time in adulthood. In atopic dermatitis in infants, lesions are usually more acute and localized on the face and in areas of extension members. After two years, the lesions are becoming more chronic, with thickening of the skin by scratching frequently, preferably by members flexor areas (elbows, knees, wrists, &#8230;). There may be lip involvement, worsened in many cases by sucking and constant moisture in the area.</p>
<p>Atopic dermatitis has become a public health problem in developed countries, affecting up to 20-30% of children with a higher prevalence in urban areas and in higher social classes. Many authors have supported the &#8220;hygiene hypothesis&#8221; which enacts that the reduced exposure of children to germs and allergens that occurs in developed areas hinders the proper maturation of the immune system and contributes to allergies. Moreover, today&#8217;s society, sometimes not conducive enough the breastfed infant whose beneficial effects are indisputable. Thus, exclusive breast feeding during the first three months of life is associated with a lower incidence of atopic dermatitis. However, children who are sent to day care after a certain age, have a lower incidence of atopic dermatitis.</p>
<p>The frequent association of atopic dermatitis to asthma and allergic rhinitis is caused by genetic alterations that correlate with immunological imbalances. This would explain, for example, that allergy to egg protein is associated with greater severity and duration of atopic dermatitis.</p>
<p>On the origin and maintenance of atopic eczema seems to be a vicious circle of itching and mechanical damage by scratching induce the production of proinflammatory molecules which in turn favor the eczema and itching. Hence the importance of trying to prevent scratching of the skin, although this is difficult, especially in children.</p>
<p>In the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis are used steroids and antibiotics as well as calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and pimecrolimus). A few years ago, the FDA issued a warning regarding the use of tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, in terms of a possible lack of long-term security and a possible connection with the development of lymphoma, which has not been shown in recent studies. Today, it advocates the use of these creams, together with milk and body moisturizers, as maintenance therapy, once improved the outbreak, for a longer time to clinical remission and reduce the total dose of topical corticosteroids. In severe cases of atopic dermatitis may require oral treatment under medical supervision, steroids or cyclosporin. Good to know that there is little evidence to support the use of oral antihistamines in atopic dermatitis, although the use of sedating antihistamines may help sleep at night.</p>
