[ad_1] This is a report presenting the unusual case of hair casts occurring after psychological trauma. These pseudonits must be correctly differentiated from pediculosis capitis.Hair casts (peripilar keratin casts), or pseudonits, are 2 to 7 mm long, discrete, firm, shiny, white, freely movable tubular accretions that encircle the hair shafts of the scalp. Cursory examination of the patient with these pseudonits may result in the erroneous diagnosis of pediculosis capitis.Since their original description by Kligman in 1957, more than thirty cases of hair casts have been reported in the English language medical literature. Hair casts have been classified into parakeratotic (« secondary ») or nonparakeratotic (« idiopathic ») types. The former is more common and is related to a coexistent abnormality involving the scalp, such as psoriasis. The « idiopathic » hair cast, however, is not found in association with any disease of the scalp or any other hair shaft abnormality.Light microscopic and ultra structural studies of…

[ad_1] If you are like me, a deep tan is quite appealing. However, the sun exposure that is required to achieve that beautiful tan is far from appealing. I will add to that by saying that some exposure to the sun is important to ensure that your body receives the right amount of Vitamin D, and that your Melatonin levels fluctuate appropriately. Apart from spurts of sun exposure, it is not safe for your skin to receive much more than this. If it does, you will face the complication of burning, and even serious problems like skin cancer. Here, I will review a product that I used to achieve a natural looking tan by not having to expose myself to dangerous levels of sun exposure – SunSplash Tanning and D Lite (No Tan) Systems.It all started when a friend of mine visited a local tanning salon.

A man who does this may be called a metro-sexual, meaning he cares for fashion and personal grooming and indeed takes care of his personal appearance much the same as the majority of women do.I was never one for getting manicures or pedicures, but that changed this past year. I was…
