Acne is a very common skin disease, which primarily affects adolescents. Acne is more precisely an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicle. Each pilosebaceous follicle is made up of a hair to which a sebaceous gland is attached.
Alopecia
Alopecia is defined as loss of hair on the body. Hair loss is often a great cause for concern for aesthetic and psychological reasons, but it can also be an important sign of systemic disease.
Cellulite
Cellulite, or dimpling, orange peel, etc. is the result of a change in the structure of adipose tissues (= fat reserves) located under the epidermis. It gives the skin a “bumpy” appearance, considered unsightly. It is mainly observed on the back of the thighs and on the buttocks.
Eczema
Atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis is a chronic itchy (itchy) skin disease that develops in outbreaks. It mainly affects infants and children but can persist into adolescence and adulthood.
Skin problems
Acne, psoriasis and eczema are the most common and well-known skin diseases. They are certainly benign but they also have the reputation of often recurring, of being “incurable” and of benefiting from tedious treatments to be applied.
Skin hydration
For natural hydration of the body's skin, opt for a nourishing balm based on shea butter. Mixed with a vegetable oil like argan oil, it will work wonders! To apply every day, after showering
Itching
Itching is an unpleasant and sometimes painful sensation that makes you want to scratch constantly. Itchy skin is called pruritus. These can be localized or extended to a large part, or even the entire body.
Healing
To help a wound heal, you should put foods rich in vitamin C on your plate: citrus fruits, kiwis, strawberries, blackcurrants, peppers, redcurrants, spinach, etc. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and therefore limits the risk of infection. It also stimulates cell regeneration
Shingles
Shingles is a disease caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, occurring in a person who has already had chickenpox. The rash often occurs in the chest, but can affect other parts of the body. Shingles usually heals in 2 to 3 weeks.
Mycoses
Mycosis is an infection caused by micro-fungi, as we told you, it is often Candida Albicans but it can also be Candida Glabrata, to name just a few. They can affect many parts of the body, here are the main ones.
Bites
The sting causes intense pain, redness and blistering. It can cause allergic reactions in some people. The pain goes away on its own within a few hours of the sting.
Water retention
Water retention is an accumulation of water within body tissue, causing it to swell. Fluid retention is more commonly called edema.
Hair loss
When sudden hair loss sets in outside of temporary phenomena, it becomes pathological. Alopecia can be caused by a physical change (diet, illness, taking certain medications) or a psychological change (period of stress, depression). More rarely, to a psycho-affective shock.
Rashes
A rash is characterized by the appearance of spots or redness on the skin. It can cover a large area or only be localized in a well-defined location. It can appear alone or be accompanied by other symptoms such as itching or pain.
Burns
Burns are injuries produced by heat, electricity, radiation or chemicals. Burns cause pain, blisters, swelling and skin loss to varying degrees.
Nail fungus
Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, is an infection generally caused by a parasitic nail fungus. Damaged, yellowed, detached, the nail affected by onychomycosis requires specific treatment, followed rigorously for several months.
Boils
Boil is a bacterial infection of a pilosebaceous follicle in the skin. It manifests itself as a hard, painful red spot centered by a hair and quickly transforming into a pustule. Well treated, the boil progresses towards healing within a few days and is rarely subject to complications.
Mucous membranes
Membrane which lines the cavities of the body (digestive tube, nasal cavity, bronchi, anus, etc.) which connects with the skin at the level of natural orifices, and which is lubricated by the secretion of mucus.
Caution
Lithotherapy should in no case be a substitute for prescribed medical treatment. It should only act to reinforce this treatment. Medical diagnosis is essential and any ongoing treatment must be continued.
