| Simple tips for treating cats with feline acne
Mrs. Walsh brought her kitty Madeline to the office for an examination. She was very concerned because there were sores on Madeline's chin that resembled acne. Upon examination I determined that, in fact, this was "Feline Acne". Mrs. Walsh was quite anxious. She was surprised that her 16-year-old kitty had acne. I told her this was not the type of acne that teenagers get, rather it was a kind that cats get when they eat or drink from a plastic or ceramic bowl. The problem occurs as a result of a cat's chin coming into contact with the porous surface of a bowl. The tiny pits in the bowl hold facial oils. These oils are irritating to the skin. The result is some cats develop acne on their chin. Not every cat that eats or drinks from this type of bowl develops acne just like not every teenager develops acne.
Anti-evolution ads ridiculous
I was on my way to get some acne cream from the local CVS, driving by a church, and saw one of the funniest/saddest Church billboards in a while. It said, If evolution were true, mothers would have three arms. Oh man! This must be the third time Ive had my life changed by anything on a billboard. The first time was the billboard that said, Dont make me come down there God. I thought this was pretty amazing seeing as how God recruited an angel to come down to Earth, bought the billboard space for a few months, and put in his two cents. I was a little confused when it was eventually replaced with a Hooters ad. But hey, the Big Guy knows what hes doing. This annoys and scares me because the people with such conviction probably have not read a scientific book since their Sunday school book Noahs Ark: A Guide to Modern Weather.
Skin Care Tips From The Top
When it comes to helping patients detect skin cancer, combat acne and acne scarring, treat hair loss and nail fungus, and find a customized daily skin care regimen to maintain healthy skin, dermatologists -- physicians with extensive training and experience in treating skin, hair and nail conditions -- are the specialists to whom millions of people of all ages turn for expert care. In addition, dermatologists can advise patients looking to improve aging skin on the most appropriate over-the-counter, medical and surgical options available to them.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's (Academy) Skin Academy, dermatologist Arielle N.B. Kauvar, MD, FAAD, chair of the Academy's Council on Communications, discussed the breadth of expertise dermatologists provide and led an open discussion with fellow dermatologists on their top skin, hair and nail tips.
Strictly for the boys
Rarely do I see a man at Washington University make an effort in what he wears for the purpose of impressing his buddies; most attempts to look done-up are designed to impress the ladies.
It would seem, then, that what a man wears at Wash. U. should be somewhat based on women's opinions. I approached some ladies of Wash. U. with an all-important question: "If you had to tell a guy to invest in a good ____, what would it be?" The answer was almost always a good pair of jeans or a nice pair of sneakers.
Therein is the basic foundation for a successful, urban campus wardrobe.
So how do you go about buying the perfect pair of jeans? As silly as it seems, you must understand denim to understand how the style would fit on your body. Men's jeans come in four types of fits: bootcut, straight-leg, relaxed and slim.
