Disease made Karl Marx boil with anger
Karl Marx suffered from a skin disease that can cause severe psychological effects such as self-loathing and alienation, according to a British dermatologist. The father of communism’s life and attitudes were shaped by hidradenitis suppurativa, said Sam Shuster in the British Journal of Dermatology. One of its symptoms is alienation – a concept that Marx, a martyr to boils and carbuncles, put into words as he wrote Das Kapital. The condition was described as early as 1839 by a French physician, Alfred Velpeau. But, Professor Shuster says, ideas crossed the Channel less readily than wine and Marx’s true condition was never diagnosed. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disease of the apocrine sweat glands, found in the armpits and the groins.
New skin saviours - Retinol
A new roster of new and updated ingredients have hit the beauty scene including retinol. Here's the lowdown on what it is and what it can do for your skin Retinol The lowdownThose on the inside track in beauty always knew that retinol, a cosmetic form of vitamin A, had an anti-ageing effect on the skin. Well, that is, since the 60s, the decade (as I mentioned in my last skin saving series, for handbag.com) that dermatologists discovered that retinoic acid, medical grade vitamin A, made skin look younger. When using it to treat acne, they found it also smoothed and plumped the skin. The newsThis year saw retinol caterpulted into the limelight. This was following the Horizon programme which showed that an anti-ageing skin serum - No7's now legendary Protect & Perfect - did actually work. The key ingredient was of course retinol, the vitamin A derivative that has been used in skincare for a number of years. The other side of the Atlantic, results came through from an American study into vitamin A. And they too gave the nod to its efficacy. A double hit for retinol. So now it's official, vitamin A (in the right format and at the right level) works.
