| Stress could cause a host of dermatological problems, says expert

Speaking at the American Academy of Dermatology's Skin academy (Academy), dermatologist Flor A. Mayoral, MD, FAAD, clinical instructor in the departments of dermatology and cutaneous surgery at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Fla., discussed the most common outward signs of stress on the skin, hair and nails, and offered stress management tips to control these symptoms.

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.

Albuquerque Public Schools program tutors ill, injured students
When Danielle Walling tells her Sandia High classmates about the small Nerf football on her lung, she's not playing games. The 17-year-old junior has an abscess the size of the popular toy on her left lung. Its discovery and the pneumonia that hospitalized her kept her out of school since late September. But on Oct. 19 while she was still in the hospital, schoolwork came to her, courtesy of John Garcia, one of 10 roving teachers in Albuquerque Public Schools who daily tutor about 55 students too ill or injured to attend classes. About three decades ago, the district assigned a handful of teachers to tutor hospitalized and homebound children, hence the program name Home Hospital. Except for two or three years in the early 1980s when the program was disbanded, these traveling teachers each tutored four or five students daily, said Loretta Garcia, a district administrator who has worked with them for 25 years.
Eating a Healthy, Well-rounded Diet Can be the Best Recipe for Healthy Skin
The old adage “you are what you eat" not only applies to our overall health and nutrition, but how our skin looks and feels as well. As the largest organ in the body, our skin can benefit from the same nutrition we get from foods that have a positive effect on our heart and other major organs. In fact, new research suggests that eating foods rich in protein and certain vitamins and minerals might provide valuable anti-aging effects. .
Variety of dog shampoos available
THIS TIME OF YEAR as the holidays approach and many people have house guests, it's natural to want to clean up the dog as well. If you bathe your own pets at home, here are a few tips on special shampoos for dogs. For many dogs with greasy skin, look for a shampoo with benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. This is the same medication used in many acne medications, and it helps kill bacteria and dissolves grease the best. Shampoos containing these ingredients are OxyDex, Sulf-OxyDex, and Pyoben. For dogs with flaky skin (dandruff), look for a shampoo with sulfur and salicylic acid as active ingredients. These help to dissolve loose flakes off the surface of the skin. Be aware that, following a bath with these shampoos, some dogs may appear more flaky at first as a result of detaching dead flakes of skin that were soon to flake off anyway.
Feeling stressed? Your skin and hair can show it
Feeling stressed? Your skin, hair and nails can show it as they're the external indicators. While everyone knows that stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, researchers in the United States have carried out a study and found that it also can lead to dermatological problems, like acne, brittle nails or even hair loss, the ScienceDaily reported.

This in turn causes an increase in oil production, which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems. "Stress can aggravate the skin and trigger unexpected flare-ups that, in effect, create more stress for patients," lead researcher Dr Flor A. Mayoral of the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine was quoted as saying.
