Skin Diseases

Question: Im a microbiologist; like to start my research on skin diseases. Please give me some advise for research plan I like to work on molecular bio field on skin diseases. I can get samples not a problem; but i have to prepare abstract and give my work plan, primers, probes etc. I dont know how to start, how to plan, etc. please need suggestions.

Answer: It sounds like you don't have a specific research goal, just a general field. Since research happens due to grant funding, you have to know the standard format used by the granting agency/group. I'm working with a doctoral candidate for put together a PAH research project to be funded by the EPA. So, the plan will be put in the format they use for environmental evaluations. Check out the link below and that will give you some idea of funding opportunities and some idea as to format. Rather than trying to generate your own idea, perhaps start first with answering a question posed by one of the grants. I hope this answers your question.

Question: Are skin diseases contagious to yourself? What if you got a contagious skin disease like ringworm. Is it contagious to yourself if you touch it and touch some other part of your body?

Answer: the answer to that question is A BIG YES. You see, skin infection like ringworm is a fungal infection. Fungi have lots of spores which are reproductive forms of fungi. Fungal infection have the tendency to make you itch and the more you scratch, the more you spread the infection, and this occurs because you are transferring the spores to other parts of your body. Also if the itching make you have some bumps on your skin and there if fluid in such bumps if you scratch when the bumps burst, it can cause infection on self and other people.

Question: Is there any skin diseases caused by sun? I know skin cancer is one of them ,, but can sun alone cause any other diseases .. thanking you in advance !

Answer: Acute effects of sun exposure The acute adverse effects of sun exposure on the skin include phototrauma (sunburn), photosensitivity, and tanning. PHOTOTRAUMA--This is the initial actinic or solar insult to the skin. Redness is produced by vasodilation and increased blood flow in the dermis. Biochemically, it is a manifestation of (1) damage to membranes and to DNA, (2) transient disturbances in protein synthesis, and (3) elaboration of many cytokines and inflammatory mediators.[2] Pain and itching are produced by the effect of chemical mediators on the nerve endings. All three wavelengths of UV radiation (see box on page 54)[14] cause phototrauma. The epidermis absorbs ultraviolet C (UVC) and UVB radiation, but UVA radiation penetrates into the dermis,[5] where the potential for damage is greater. Sunburn is delayed in its onset, usually becoming evident 2 to 6 hours after exposure and reaching maximum intensity after 15 to 24 hours.[2] It is less severe in persons over age 60 than in those under age 30. However, redness persists longer in older persons.[5] PHOTOSENSITIVITY--This refers to an abnormal response of the skin to sun exposure.[2] It includes phototoxic and photoallergic reactions and polymorphous light eruption. PHOTOTOXIC REACTION--This reaction presents as an exaggerated sunburn (ie, far more severe than expected from the length of exposure) after ingestion of or contact with a photosensitizer.[6] Because this reaction is not mediated immunologically, it may occur in anyone.[6] Photosensitizers are usually polycyclic compounds capable of absorbing UVA radiation; therefore, most phototoxic reactions are caused by UVA exposure.[6] The drugs most commonly implicated in phototoxic reactions are thiazides (figure 1), sulfonylureas, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, phenothiazines, psoralens, nalidixic acid, and coal tar.[2] Exposure to sunlight after skin contact with plants containing psoralens or furocoumarins (eg, limes, parsley, celery, bishop's-weed, figs) can cause topical photosensitivity.[2,6] PHOTOALLERGIC REACTION--This abnormal response of chemically exposed skin to sunlight occurs when the immune system is involved.[6] The reaction appears more as a rash than as a sunburn. Essentially, all phototoxins are also photo-allergens.[6] POLYMORPHOUS LIGHT ERUPTION--This is the most common abnormal response of skin to sunlight and may affect up to 10% of the population.[6] The response is often triggered by the first intense exposure to the sun in the spring or during a southern midwinter vacation. Patients usually call it "sun poisoning" or "sun allergy."[6] Within hours after the patient sunbathes, itchy papules and plaques occur over some, but not all, exposed areas (figure 2). They gradually subside 1 to 2 weeks later if the patient avoids further exposure to the sun. There is no systemic involvement.[6] (see link for many more details)

Question: Does anyone know about feline skin diseases? My cat has an area on her back just in front of her tail that she has been biting and trying to scratch so much that the skin in that area is scabbing and she's losing the hair there. I'm going to take her to the vet but I won't be able to go until next week. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It is localized specifically to that area and the area on the underside of her tail just above her rear end.

Answer: That's the first place that flea bite allergies turn up. Get Advantage or Frontline and apply as directed even if you don't see fleas or flea dirt. Fleas don't spend much time on the cat. Take her to the vet, by all means, but if you can do the above first, it will help get the situation under control quicker.

Question: Do dogs carry skin diseases that can be transmitted to humans through touch? My friend has 14 dogs, and some of the dogs were sitting on my lap. When I left her house I started to itch on my legs. Now I have little red bumps on my legs and stomach? They itch like crazy.

Answer: Yes they do. The itchy bumps you have are probably dog flea bites though. Use some antihistamine cream and tell your friend. She needs to de flea the dogs, probably she is not allergic to them so doesn't notice.
