Question by Lindsey: Discolored Skin from Contact Dermatitis?
Instead of darker skin though, the spots where i had the rash are lighter.
Can i tan to get rid of these?
I have pretty dark skin, and i’m still in treatment with the rash.
It was due to allergies, and they gave me steroid cream to use for two weeks

Answer by zitdr_02 You have two reasons for having the lighter spots: the first one is “post-inflammatory hypopigmentation”, which frequently occurs after an inflammatory event, such as a dermatitis. In this sort of situation, the pigment granules are still being made, but the dermatitis is inhibiting the transfer of the granules from the pigment cells to the epidermal skin cells, and hence, the cells are arriving at the surface of the skin with less than a normal load of pigment granules. This situation will revert to normal, some time after the dermatitis has cleared. In addition, you are using a steroid cream, which also leads to blanching of the skin from having the blood vessels under the dermatitis become constricted. This condition will also heal up, once the cortisone is stopped.

Chemical Preservatives-Parabens Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They are to be found in shampoos most skincare products, mens cosmetics and toiletries, baby care personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals, tanning solutions, and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives. Unfortunately Parabens can cause skin irritations and contact dermatitis, Rosacea , paraben allergies and premature skin aging. Scientific studies – Report that parabens were found in samples of breast tumors, these studies have resulted in a call for further research. This same study has fueled the belief that parabens in underarm deodorants and other cosmetics can migrate into breast tissue and contribute to the development of tumors. Some scientists believe that it may be correlated with breast cancer, based on a study by UK scientists in which preservative chemicals were found in samples of breast tumors. Their analysis of 20 breast tumors found high concentrations of parabens in 18 samples. What supports this argument is based on the ability of parabens to mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. Some estrogens are known to drive the growth of tumors. Given that breast cancer is a large killer of women and a very high percentage of young women use underarm …
Via www.dermtv.com – Red itchy and swollen eyelids are at least annoying and at worst disabling, and they happen almost exclusively to women. So what is the culprit? Dr. Schultz will share with you why you won’t have to look farther than your finger tips. Transcript Itchy red swollen eyelids is a vexing and annoying problem that I see mostly in my female patients, and the most common cause of this problem, believe it or not, is nail polish. There are only two things that touch the skin of your eyes—your fingers and your make-up, and it’s usually not your make-up. Nail polish only causes this reaction if you’re allergic to it in the first 4-6 hours after it’s been applied while it’s still drying because the chemicals are much more irritating in the liquid nail polish than in the dry nail polish. They actually change when they’re on your nails, and those chemicals, after 6-8 hours, are no longer irritating. So the next time you wake up with red swollen itchy eyelids, think about whether or not you had new nail polish applied the day before and, if you remove your nail polish, re-apply it and keep your hands away from your eyelids for the first eight hours and I’ll bet that that rash doesn’t come back.
Via www.dermtv.com – Developing a rash from poison ivy surely puts a damper on your summer fun. But how does that rash find its way to body parts that never came in contact with that pesky plant? Is the rash contagious? Can you spread it to your friends? Dr. Schultz will get to the truth about poison ivy. Transcription People ask me, can they spread poison ivy on themselves or to the people around them , and the short answer is, no you can’t. When you catch poison ivy, it’s because you’ve touched the plant, you’ve broken the leaf, and the oils from inside the leaf get on your hand, and with your hand, you touch yourself, you touch other places, and that’s how you’ve put the poison ivy on you. But once you wash yourself that day, you’ve washed off those oils from the plant and you can’t spread it any longer. However, all of the spots you touched that day before you washed yourself will develop the rash for the poision ivy, but each successive spot has less oil, takes longer to come out, and that’s why you see the poison ivy coming out over a period of almost ten days. But you’re not spreading it on yourself. It’s already happened before you got washed. Video Rating: 5 / 5
