STUDY OF SKIN AND SCALP
Types of skin
Normally, your skin will fall into one of the categories of Normal, Dry and Greasy. If the skin feels smooth, supple and elastic, it is normal. A healthy, normal skin is unblemished, velvety, smooth and supple, with no enlarged pores or flaky dead cells. A flaky and dull skin is generally dry with a tendency towards broken veins, flakiness and dry patches, and it needs a lot of care. If neglected, it turns into wrinkles and lines. A greasy skin often has blackheads and is prone to acne and several disorders which shall be discussed later on in detail.
Most people have a combination skin. In this type of skin, the middle of the face ( patches on the forehead, nose and the chine) is shiny with a dilated and coarse texture. The rest of the face has either normal or dry skin.
Blackheads, whiteheads, steatoma, asteatosis, sebarrhoea, pimples, acne vulgaris, bromidrosis (osmidrosis), anidrosis, hyderidrosis, prickly heat, sunburn, inflammations, dermatitis, eczema, ringworm, red veins, lesions, leucoderma, leprosy, burns and scalds, freckles, birthmarks and scars, wrinkles, hirsutism, warts, moles, scabies, boils, blotchiness, odour and fungus infection, psoriasis, double chin, melasma, thrush ( candidal), scabies, sycosis barbac, chronic paronychie, intertrigo, herpes, urticaria, skin tumours, photodermatitis, lichen, planus, erytheme multiforme are some of the chronic disorders and allergies which mar many a lovely face. These serious skin problems will be discussed in much detail with suitable remedies by cosmetology or by herbal treatment.
