Skin Flaws May Call For Medical Attention
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Minor skin flaws, like death and taxes, are a part of life at one time or another. Not so with more serious ailments—disorders which cause embarrassment, discomfort and call for medical attention.
Major ones are acne, eczema, psoriasis, impetigo, ringworm, and scabies.
To tamper with these on a home-care basis is compounding trouble. For do-it-yourself remedies almost always slow the cure or aggravate the condition.
The most prevalent disorder is acne, a teenage problem. Its cause is not known.
Usually, it is attributed to poor diet and oiliness associated with increased hormonal activity during adolescence.
Skin should be lathered briskly with fingertips, then rinsed. Dry skin roughly with a turkish towel to rub away offensive secretions.

condition sometimes reappears with pregnancies.
Deeply-pitted acne scars sometimes can be modified by skin planing. A section of skin is frozen with a chemical refrigerant and then briskly planned with a wire brush.
Eczema is a catch-all description for miscellaneous skin disorders. In general, the term describes any itchy inflammation of the skin. Hiechiness usually is concentrated in folds of the arms, back of the ears or the knees.
Eczema frequently is associated with sensitivity to certain foods, cosmetics, woolens, cleansers, plants, pets or materials one is exposed to on the job; carbon paper, metals.
In severe cases, skin on hands and arms thickens and oozing blisters appear.
Soap aggravates many cases of eczema. Rubbing with a towel sometimes spreads it.
Until definitive cure is prescribed, bathing should be limited to sponge baths with the middest possible soap or toilet bar. Go easy on exposure to sun, wind and cold and coddle your skin, if you have eczema.
Gamma Delta, Lutheran organization, has elected Herbert Hauffer, Vassar junior, president for the coming semester. Other officers are Lonnie Lueggers, Ludell sophomore vice president; Barbara Rhodes, Little River freshman, secretary, and Robert Durow, Lawrence junior treasurer.
