SKN by LH

"[My skin is] super sensitive and can get irritated by any little thing. It causes acne-like bumps, so as I was getting older, I was using products that were super harsh on my skin or honestly made my condition worse. I was just going through terrible breakouts. I was doing what you're not supposed to do, which is picking my pimples. I was scarring really bad. I had really bad, dark marks, hyperpigmentation.

"[Skincare] has been something that I've been in love with since I was a little girl. From watching my mom do her skincare routine in the mirror, I wanted to recreate her, look like how her skin was because her skin was always so glowy.

"As I was getting older, I was using products that were super harsh on my skin or honestly made my condition worse."

She said she used her boyfriend, actor Michael B. Jordan, as her skin tester.

Medical Minute: Facial Psoriasis

Chicago PD

A mugshot that shows a Chicago man suffering from a serious case of facial psoriasis is going viral on social media.

Psoriasis is a chronic (longterm) skin condition caused by overactive skin cells that build up in scaly patches.

The scaly patches can be painful and itchy when the condition flares up. Psoriasis comes and goes and can last for weeks or months.

It's rare for psoriasis to only affect the face. The condition is more commonly seen on elbows, knees, lower back, and the scalp. A similar condition called seborrheic dermatitis affects mainly the scalp and hairline,
 

What causes facial psoriasis?

There is no known cause for facial psoriasis. Doctors believe genetics and the immune system may be factors.

Psoriasis flare ups can be triggered by:

  • stress

  • sunburn

  • yeast infection

  • side effects to medications

  • cold, dry weather

  • smoking

  • alcohol use

    •  

    Treatment

    Your doctor may prescribe medications to treat psoriasis and the symptoms it causes.

    Medications include creams, ointments or foam containing mild corticosteroids, Vitamin D and retinol.

    Medical Minute: Longitudinal Melanonychia (dark vertical lines on nails)

    Samira Wiley hands

    Last night, while I was editing photos, I noticed actress Samira Wiley had a dark vertical line on one of her thumbnails.

    Most people have flat or slightly raised vertical lines or ridges on our fingernails and toenails. Long vertical lines that run the length of the nail are usually not a health concern.

    But dark brown or black vertical lines or bands on nails should be evaluated by a doctor.
