HOMEOPATHY FOR FRECKLES

Freckles are little brown spots found on the skin. These spots are multiple and may develop due to repeated exposure to sunlight. Freckles are common with people of fair complexion. They occur due to an increase in the amount of dark pigment called melanin and the total number of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells).

There are two types of freckles. Ephelides freckles which emerge during the summer due to sun exposure and fade during winter. Lentigines freckles which are darker in color and are more permanent in nature, lentigo persists in the absence of ultraviolet stimulation. Ephelides and lentigines can occur in the same individuals and the risk factors for both are generally the same.

Ephelides are very common in fair-skinned people, especially in children with red hair, where the MCIR gene is thought to be the main gene involved. They are an inherited characteristic that also sometimes affects people with darker skin types.

Lentigines are common in people with fair skin, but they also frequently arise in sun-exposed sites in people who tan easily or who have naturally dark skin. Lentigines are common after the age of 40 years, but they may also occur in younger people.

Lentigines are brown flat lesions with a clearly defined edge. The most common type, solar lentigines, arise in middle age and result from sun damage. They are most often found on the face and hands, and they are larger and more defined than freckles. Other types of lentigo include ink spot lentigo and lentigo simplex.

Causes

An ephelis is brown because of the pigment melanin. Melanin is made by melanocytes and diffused into keratinocytes. Melanin production by melanocytes decreases during the winter months, and increases when the skin is exposed to the UV radiation in sunlight. The color is due to the localized accumulation of melanin in keratinocytes. There is no increase in the melanocytes.

Symptoms

Ephelides arise on an individual’s mid face and sometimes more widely from early childhood onwards. As the person ages, this type of freckle generally become less noticeable. They are prominent in summer but fade considerably or disappear in winter. An ephelis is usually less than 3mm in diameter.

Solar lentigines tend to persist for long periods, and they do not disappear in the winter although they may fade. They vary in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. Color tends to be uniform across the lesion, with a yellowish or greyish light-brown hue. The border of the lesion is sharply defined, and an irregular border may give it a scalloped shape. They have a dry a dry or slightly scale surface. One or more seborrheic keratoses may arise from a solar lentigo.

HOMEOPATHY FOR ALLERGIC RHINITIS

Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is an allergic reaction to tiny particles in the air called allergens. When breathe allergens enter the body   through nose or mouth, body reacts against it by releasing a chemical called histamine.

HOMEOPATHY FOR SKIN TAG

A skin tag is a common soft harmless lesion that appears to hang off the skin. It is also known as Acrochordon.

Skin tag develop in both men and women as they grow older. They are skin colored or darker and range in size from 1mm to 5cm.

 Skin tags can develop on any part of the body, but they are most commonly growing on areas of high friction or areas that are commonly rubbed, such as, neck, breasts, groin, stomach, eyelids, and underarms.

Males and females are equally prone to getting skin tags. However, they tend to be more numerous in obese persons and in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Skin tags are made up of loosely arranged collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by a thickened or thinned-out epidermis.

Etiology

It is not known what causes skin tags. However, the following factors may play a role:

·       Chaffing and irritation from skin rubbing together.

·       High levels of growth factors, particularly during pregnancy or in acromegaly.

·       Insulin resistance (syndrome X).

·       Human papillomavirus.

·       Hereditary. Skin tags appear to run in families, and researchers suspect that genetics play role in the development of skin tags.

HOMEOPATHY FOR WRINKLES

Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges in the skin. They naturally appear as people get older. The first wrinkles tend to appear on a person’s face in areas where the skin naturally folds during facial expressions. They develop due to the skin becoming thinner and less elastic over time.

Wrinkles also tend to appear on parts of the body that receive most sun exposure, such as the face and neck, back of the hands, and arms.

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. As people get older their skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, which means it is less able to protect itself from damage. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and lines on the skin.

Facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, lead to the development of the lines and wrinkles at a younger age. These lines deepen as the person gets older.

Causes

Wrinkles are caused by a combination of factors, some of them are:

·       Age: As age advances, skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries skin and makes it appear more wrinkled. Fat in the deeper layers of skin diminishes. This causes loose, saggy skin and more -pronounced lines and crevices.

·       Exposure to ultraviolet light: Ultraviolet radiation, which speeds the natural aging process, is the primary cause of early wrinkling. Exposure to UV light breaks skin’s connective tissue-collagen and fibers, which lie in the deeper layer of skin, dermis. Without the supportive connective tissue, skin loses strength and flexibility. Skin then begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely.

·       Smoking: Smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of skin, contributing to wrinkles. This may be due to smoking effect on collagen.

·       Repeated facial expression: Facial movements and expressions, such as smiling or squinting, lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Each time when using a facial muscle, a groove forms beneath the surface of the skin. As skin ages, it loses its flexibility and no longer able to spring back in place. These grooves become permanent features on the face.

Symptoms

Lines and creases on the skin. Some wrinkles become deep crevices or furrows and may be noticeable around the eyes, mouth and neck.

HOMEOPATHY FOR HIRSUTISM

Hirsutism is a condition in which a woman develops excessive hair growth. Women will develop coarse, dark hair on their upper lip, chin, chest, abdomen, or back, instead of fine hair.

Causes

The exact cause of hirsutism is not known, however there are several conditions that are known to cause hirsutism. These conditions include:

·       Male hormones, androgens: Women naturally produce androgen, however, if their androgen levels are higher than normal, or if their hair follicles are more sensitive to androgens, she may develop hirsutism.

·       Polycystic ovarian syndrome: Women with PCOS may produce too many androgens, they may have hirsutism, also have acne, irregular or absent menstrual periods, diabetes, weight gain, and/or problems with fertility.

·       Menopause: The hormonal changes of menopause may lead to increased facial hair (mustache and whiskers).

·       Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: This inherited condition is characterized by abnormal production of steroid hormones, including cortisol and androgen by the adrenal gland.

·       Tumors: Rarely, an androgen-secreting tumor in the ovaries or adrenal glands can cause hirsutism.

·       Virilization:  Hirsutism that occurs suddenly along with other male characteristics, such as deeper voice, acne or increased muscle mass.

·       Medications: Medicines like, anabolic steroids, testosterone, glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, minoxidil, danazol, phenytoin, can cause hirsutism

Symptoms

The main symptom of hirsutism is thick, coarse, dark hair that grows on the face, chest, back, lower abdomen, upper arms, or upper legs of women.

When high androgen levels cause hirsutism, other signs might develop over time, a process called virilization. Signs of virilization might include:

·       Deepening voice

·       Balding

·       Acne

·       Increased muscle mass

·       Enlargement of the clitoris
