THE WHY’S OF DERMATOLOGY

Dermatology is a field of medicine that tends to the health of skin, nails and hair. Newer diseases are being diagnosed every day. Pollution and toxicity are on a rise in the environment in the 21 st century. Toxic chemicals come in regular contact with the skin, damaging it on a daily basis. These toxic chemicals settle down in pores of the skin, sometimes being absorbed, and leading to various health and skin issues.

You do not get a second chance to set a first impression. The way one presents oneself has a huge impact on the impression they give. Skin and hair are the things first noticed by another person. If your skin and hair are not healthy, it will lead to an impression of poor self-care and negligence. It also affects the self-confidence of people when they have skin issues like acne. They avoid social contact resulting in other self-esteem issues as well as anxiety and depression. To avoid such problems, proper care is necessary for hair and nail. To take good care of your hair, nails and skin, regular check-ups with the dermatologist are required.

Vitamins D, E and K are best utilized dermatologically for the proper health of your hair, nails and skin. It is important to note that these vitamins are fat soluble, unlike vitamin B which is a water-soluble vitamin. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body for longer periods and pose a greater threat of toxicity than the water-soluble ones. Thus, these vitamins i.e. E, K and D, must be taken under with a proper prescription from a licensed and a reliable dermatologist. These vitamins can be dangerous if taken like other over the counter supplements.

Increased global warming is resulting in the thinning of the Ozone layer. Ozone depletion has severe consequences in terms of increased skin diseases and increased non-melanoma cancer. This is because the Ozone layer prevents harmful Ultra-violet rays from the sun to reach planet earth. Various researches have proven that these UV rays from the sun are a possible reason for non-melanoma cancer. In the United States, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. 90% of the time skin cancer if diagnosed at the right time can be treated. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness the case is otherwise. This is another reason for setting up regular appointments with your dermatologist.

Prevention is better than cure and what better way to prevent any harmful effect that may be done to your skin than by setting up an appointment with a dermatologist. Care for your skin today so that it may sustain its childlike glow for years to come and you bask in the soft and smoothness of your skin.
