into the skin without wounding the top layer of
your skin. These lasers are used to tighten skin
all over the body and can be especially helpful

arms. You may need 3 to 5 treatments to get
results, which gradually appear between 2 and 6
months after the last treatment.

  doctor places a device against your skin, which
  heats the tissue beneath.

  tightening right away. It takes time for your
  body to make collagen, so youll see the best
  results in about 6 months. Some people benefit
  from having more than 1 treatment.

• Apply petroleum jelly two to three times daily.
• Do not apply ointments, toothpaste or butter to

COMMON INFECTION RINGWORM DIAGNOSIS AND
TREATMENT

• How do qualified doctor diagnose ringworm?
•   The qualified doctor can often tell if you
  have ringworm by looking at the infected area.
• Its common to have athletes foot and ringworm
  on one or both hands. Sometimes, the infection
  spreads to one or more nails.
•  
• Before giving you the diagnosis, your doctor may
  send a bit of the infected skin, hair, or nail to
  a laboratory.
• Taking a sample is easy. If you might have
  ringworm on your skin, your doctor will scrape
  off a bit of the infected skin. By looking at the
  sample under a microscope, a doctor can see if it
  contains any of the fungi that cause ringworm.
•  

49
How do qualified doctor treat ringworm? If you
have ringworm, your doctor will treat it with
antifungal medicine. This medicine comes in many
different forms like creams, ointments, and
pills. What you use will depend on the area of
the body that needs treatment. Skin An
antifungal ointment or cream often clears
ringworm on the skin. Most of these medicines you
apply twice a day for two to four weeks. Many of
these approved medicines are safe and effective
for children. When the ringworm starts to clear,
youll likely see the scale clear before the
redness. Be sure to wash your hands Washing your
hands after treating ringworm helps stop the
disease from spreading to other areas of your
body.
50
Athletes foot An antifungal cream or spray
that you buy without a prescription may clear
athletes foot. A mild case usually clears in two
weeks. If the athletes foot is more severe or
fails to clear in two weeks, the qualified doctor
can prescribe stronger medicine. Jock itch To
treat this type of ringworm, your doctor may
recommend an antifungal cream, spray, or powder
that you can buy without a prescription. You
typically apply the antifungal twice a day for 10
to 14 days. To treat the itch, it often helps to
apply a wet, cool washcloth to the area for 20 to
30 minutes. You may need to apply cool compresses
2 to 6 times a day. When washing the infected
area or applying a cool compress, be sure to use
a clean washcloth every time and use it only on
the jock itch. Before using the washcloth again,
youll want to wash it in hot, sudsy water to
kill the fungus. Ringworm can survive on objects
for a long time. If the jock itch fails to clear
with at-home treatment, be sure to tell your
doctor. You may need stronger medicine.
51
Scalp On the scalp, ringworm requires
prescription medicine. It is important to take
an antifungal medicine exactly as prescribed, and
for as long as prescribed. The ringworm may fail
to clear if you stop taking it sooner than
prescribed. This can make it more difficult to
get rid of the ringworm. In fact, everyone with
whom the infected person lives needs to use an
antifungal shampoo. Scalp ringworm is extremely
contagious. When everyone uses antifungal
shampoo, this helps prevent family members from
infecting each other. It's important to apply
(or take) antifungal medicine for as long as
prescribed Stopping early may fail to clear the
infection. This can make ringworm harder to
treat.
52
Hands You may be able to clear a mild case with
an antifungal cream. Often stronger antifungal
medicine like terbinafine or itraconazole is
necessary. If the ringworm has spread to a
fingernail, you will need to take an antifungal
medicine to get rid of the infection.   Nails
You need prescription medicine to clear ringworm
from the nails. Because nails grow slowly,
ringworm will take time to clear. Its important
to keep all follow-up appointments with your
doctor.  You may also need to follow preventive
measures to avoid reinfection. Beard Ringworm
in the beard area requires prescription
antifungal medicine and a tailor-made treatment
plan. Your doctor may need to remove unhealthy
tissue to help the area heal. Youll also need to
shave the infected hair.   Treat ringworm
everywhere on your body To clear ringworm, you
must treat it everywhere on your body at the same
time.  
53
What is the outcome for someone who has
ringworm? Antifungal medicine can clear ringworm
from every area of the body. In some areas like
the nails and hands, clearing takes time. Its
important to follow your doctors treatment plan
and keep all follow-up appointments.

Types of Skin Treatments

• Be nice to your skin!
• Like the heart, stomach , and brain , your skin
  is an organ.
• In fact, its the largest organ in your body.
  Your skin is constantly protecting you. Your skin
  keeps infections out of your body and keeps you
  from getting sick.
• There are many different types of skin problems
  Some of the more common
• issues are acne, scars, age spots, wrinkles, and
  sagging skin. Some of the more common skin
  treatments are laser treatments for laser
  rejuvenation and laser resurfacing,
  microdermabrasion, botox (botulinum toxins),
  dermal fillers, chemical peels among others.

68
Microdermabrasion Works to remove age spots,
wrinkle and lighter acne scars. The physician
uses a handheld instrument to spray small
crystals onto the surface of the skin. The
crystals exfoliate the skin layers, while using
suction simultaneously to remove the crystals and
dead skin cells.

• Chemical Peels Also called chemexfoliation or
  derma-peeling treatments, are cosmetic treatments
  performed on the face, typically used as an
  anti-aging solution to rejuvenate the skin.
  Chemical peels are used to correct skin
  irregularities in texture, such as fine lines,
  and color, such as spots caused by sun damage.
  Chemical-peel solutions use three main acid
  ingredients to reach varying levels of intensity
  alphahydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid
  (TCA), and phenol.

69

• Laser Resurfacing Laser skin resurfacing removes
  the outer layers of the skin that are damaged.
  The laser resurfacing procedure stimulates the
  production of collagen and new skin cells in the
  underlying layers of the skin. Laser resurfacing
  is now used to eliminate or reduce wrinkles and
  fine lines on the face and neck.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation Laser skin treatment is
an advanced wrinkle removal treatment that uses
infrared light to tighten the skin without
surgery. The laser light delivers heat to layers
beneath the skins surface, stimulating collagen
production and making the skin look tighter. Many
patients consider the procedure a good
alternative to the traditional face lift, as it
requires no anesthesia, no scalpel, and no
downtime.
70

• Acne Blue Light Therapy Acne blue light therapy
  works by targeting the bacteria that causes acne.
  Moderate acne that has not responded to other
  facial skin care treatments can be treated with
  this light-based therapy, which administered over
  a span of several weeks. Acne blue light therapy
  rarely causes side effects, and does not damage
  skin.
•  

Thermage Thermage is a non-exfoliating facial
rejuvenation technique designed to tighten and
improve the contours of the face and neck. These
aesthetic improvements are achieved with a radio
frequency device that is passed over face, with
the tip in contact with the skins surface.
Controlled radio waves from the device heat the
deeper layers of the skin, stimulating new
collagen development. The result is tighter and
often smoother skin. Unlike laser treatments,
Thermage can treat all skin types and requires no
downtime. The benefits of the procedure are often
immediately apparent and long-lasting.
