  The winter air increases dryness, flaking, chaffing and redness on your skin. The cold air will be here before you know it. There is no better time to get started on your winter skin regiment. Here are some tips to consider: Invest in an oil-based moisturizer.  These contain vitamins E & C and the oil creates a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion. Many “night creams” are oil based. Be sure to avoid alcohol-based and water-based products, as they tend to dry our your skin. Use lukewarm water to bathe and avoid frequent long hot showers/baths . Hot water strips natural oils and causes skin to lose moisture. Wear gloves to decrease skin exposure and dryness . The skin on your hands has few oil glands. It’s harder to keep your hands moist, especially in the winter weather. Invest in a humidifier.  They add extra moisture in the air and prevent your skin from drying out. Specifically use them at night, since skin dries...

  What is keratosis pilaris? Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common and may be present in half the population. It is a completely harmless skin condition. It affects 50-70% of adolescents and approximately 40% of adults. Its name gives some idea of what it is; ‘keratosis’ means that there is too much keratin, which makes up the tough horny outer layer of the skin, while ‘pilaris’ comes from the Latin for hair (pilus). In keratosis pilaris, many small (1 to 2 mm across) horny plugs can be seen blocking the hair follicles on the upper and outer parts of the arms and thighs. This can look like goose bumps but feels slightly rough. Keratosis pilaris appears when extra keratin accumulates in the hair follicles. This usually starts in childhood and becomes more obvious during adolescence and in adulthood. For reasons not fully understood the condition seems to be better in the summer than in the winter perhaps because in winter the skin often gets dry while in summer the sweat makes it ...

  Many people say that the itch is the most bothersome of all their psoriasis symptoms. To relieve the itch, dermatologists give their patients the following eight tips: Treat your psoriasis.  The best way to get rid of the itch is to treat psoriasis Remove scale.  Less scale often means less itchiness. Removing scale can also improve the results you get from itch-relieving products. To remove scale, you want to use medicine like salicylic acid. This helps soften the scale, so you can gently brush it away. Pulling scale off can worsen psoriasis. Limit shower time.  Limit showers to 5 minutes and baths to 15 minutes or less. Spending too much time in the water can dry your skin, which can worsen the itch. Use moisturizer.  Applying a moisturizing cream or ointment after every hand washing, bath, and shower helps to seal much-needed moisture into your skin. Moisturizer helps reduce the redness and the itch. It also helps your skin heal. Try an itch-relieving produ...

  Treating psoriasis may help more than your skin. Treatment may also reduce your risk of having a stroke or heart attack. It may even lower the likelihood of heart failure. Why could treating psoriasis reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke? Psoriasis causes inflammation on your skin and inside your body. Long-lasting inflammation inside your body may affect your heart and blood vessels, putting you at greater risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke. Findings from research studies suggest that this increased risk affects people who have moderate or severe psoriasis. Mild psoriasis doesn’t seem to increase the risk. The findings from some of these studies also suggest that people who treat moderate or severe psoriasis have: Fewer heart attacks Fewer strokes Fewer heart-related deaths The research in this area is ongoing because not every study reached this conclusion. Which psoriasis medications may have heart-health benefits? The psoriasis medications that may re...
