Vitiligo Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in the human skin. The human skin contains special skin cells (melanocytes) that produce the pigment melanin which colors the skin. Vitiligo is not contagious or infectious skin condition. The precise cause of vitiligo is complex and not fully understood, but there is some evidence suggesting it is caused by a combination of auto-immune, genetic, and environmental factors.
Auto-Immunity Of all that we know about causes of vitiligo, auto-immunity is one of the best understood factors.
Inheritance
Vitiligo is certainly more common in the blood relations of an affected individual. It is however clear that the inheritance in vitiligo is not simple, and it currently is not possible to predict the probability of vitiligo in the offspring of an affected would be parent.
What does it mean when you itch so much?
Allergies are the first thought in constant itching. You should keep a diary to see if you itch after you eat a certain meal. List all items in that meal. If you itch after putting on just washed clothes then check the detergent and use a double rinse and less detergent. If you are taking medicine, check with your doctor to see if allergies are a possibility.
Trying taking a shower and applying hydocortoid products like Cortaid to the affected area. HOwever, if this a persistent problem, check with your doctor and take your diaries to show him or her what you did to determine the cause.

Grey hair is like normal hair in every way, except that it does not contain pigment, melanin. Therefore, it should behave in exactly the same manner as normal hair, and should not make your scalp itch.
How do you cure infected swollen pimple on forehead?
A hot compress or hot towel can help reduce swelling. Neosporin or a generic anitbacterial cream/gel will fight the infection. I like Johnson&Johnson's Clean and Clear sylic acid acne treatment too - helps with the redness and swelling. Drink plenty of water, and avoid sugar as it feeds bad bacteria in your body.
How can you tell the difference between herpes and a pimple?
cold sores really deaden the skin near it and actually feels cold and seemingly runs deep into your flesh like a wart and is extremely unpleasant, while a pimple is generally red and has a big pus filled pocket that is white or yellowish sprouting from it and in my experience only hurts if you touch it. Cold sores also appear generally on around the mouth and do not sprout from the skin like a zit does, that and cold sores are fifty times as obnoxious as pimples.

But there is a permanent cure. http://herbalpsoriasistreatment.com/
eczema, is a chronic skin that causes areas of red, itchy skin. This condition usually starts in early childhood, especially when there is a family history of atopy (asthma, hay fever, conjunctivitis, or food allergies). The skin fails to hold in moisture, becomes dry, then inflamed, itchy and often infected. Various combinations of factors cause the dryness. Allergies leading to an overactive immune system and hereditary dry skin (ichthyosis vulgaris) are the most prominent internal and external factors.
What subjects do you need in order to study dermatology?
Dermatology is a specialty field of medicine; as such, in the United States from where I am answering this question (and in most other places, too), one first completes Medical School then an internship, and then may be admitted to a Certified Dermatology residency training program for 2-4 years. Other individuals dealing regularly with the study of Dermatology might be researchers in microbiology, virology, or immunology studying specific disease entities in that field, but they would not be clinicians (i.e. see and treat patients). Certain Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners with a specialty in Derm. might see patients and assist Dermatologists in their practice too. People interested in studying dermatology ought to contact dermatologists living and working near them, arrange an interview, and start asking some pertinent questions.....especially "What is good and what is bad about Dermatology?"
How do you get boils on your buttocks?
Make sure you wear cotton underwear and that they are not too tight. If you sweat a lot make sure you keep yourself dry. Moisture seems to make them worse and never sqeeze a boil. If 1 does appear sit in a hot bath and when it pops put a bandage on it so that the infection doesn't spread and make more boils.
Sulpher seems to help or an even quicker way is to go to the doctor, tell him of your boils and he will prescribe a antibiotic and maybe even want to give you a blood test to check for infections or other abnormalities.
Boils on the Butt or in the inner thigh or in the groin area may be mainly due to staph infection, the boils will first creep up as small pimple, then in another two or three days the areas surrounding the boil will get infected and Pus will start forming, if you have found it in the earlier stage it can be cured thru medicines, usually you can take tablets
Roxithyromycin 150Mg or Clarithyromycin 500Mg twice a day for two weeks and apply the ointment Mupicrocin or T-Bact or bactoban, it will get healed, if you didn't see this in the earlier stage and the pus has formed, its better to go to the doctor and remove the pus, then pack the wound on a daily basis.
To prevent this always keep the groin area and the Butt clean, after bathing you should dry those places cleanly, most often everyone while taking bath cleans those areas but dont pay enough attention to keep it dry. Don't wear the same underwear or trousers more than once without washing, this will help you greatly to prevent this.
White spots on chest resembling ringworm?
look up Tinea Versicolor. It is genetic and noncontagious. It is a yeast and is similar to atlete's foot and ringworm (only NOT contagious). There are home remedies such as Tinactin, Lotrimin, hydrocortisone cream, and dandruff shampoos such as Head and Shoulders that you can put on the skin and let soak in overnight or you can get a prescription of oral Nizoral 200mg and take once a day for 5 to 7 days. Sad thing is it is not curable and usually comes back every summer.

Does putting tomato on sunburn help?
It wouldn't hurt, but it isn't as effective as other remedies. Anything that provides cooling will help ease the pain and draw out the heat. Aloe Vera gel will help and you should avoid putting any oils or lotions on it. A hot shower will remove the heat in the skin. I know, I said hot. When cooks burn themselves, they hold their hand over the over to remove the heat from the wound. When it stops burning, it's done. Heat removes heat. The proper remedy for any burn is cold water and exposure to cold to remove the heat and stop further damage.

A rash guard top looks like a form fitting t-shirt. The rash guard can be long sleeve, short sleeve or even sleeveless. The rash guard protects surfers from the rash due to the chest and stomach rubbing against the wax on the surfboard. Rash guards have lately hit the mainstream as an ideal sunblock. Most rash guards feature a UV coating which protects from the rays of the sun. A rash guard dries quickly and you do not have the worry of reapplying sunblock every few minutes.
