A rash is the term to describe a change in the skin that affects its color, appearance or texture.

Doctor Murtuza is Dermatologist Doctor in Dubai and Specialists for Rashes. A rash is the term to describe a change in the skin that affects its color, appearance or texture. Rashes may cause the skin to become red, itchy, bumpy, dry, cracked, blistered, or swollen, and may be painful. Rashes can affect localized areas of the body, or may spread throughout the body.

Causes:
The causes of rashes vary widely. Symptoms of many rashes are similar, often making them a challenge to diagnosis. Because the causes are numerous, they are also often difficult to treat. Treatment will focus on relieving symptoms after a sometimes-estimated diagnosis. Often rashes will disappear on their own in several days, or may be relieved with simple lotions and creams.

If you suffer from a rash, Dr Bandukwala will try to determine the cause by asking questions about what you may have been exposed to and what your family health history entails.

Some causes of rashes include:

• Contact Dermatitis: Contact dermatitis refers to a variety of rashes that are brought on by skin contact with something that irritates the skin, or that causes an allergy. Rashes will generally appear within 48 of contact with the irritant.A common example of contact dermatitis is poison oak or poison ivy. These plants contain oil called “urushiol,” which evokes a rash-causing allergic response in 65-70% of the population. Other common materials causing rashes include: soaps, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, jewelry, certain fabrics, or latex. Usually rashes caused by allergy or irritants only affect the area of the skin exposed to the rash-causing material. Symptoms generally include: inflammation of the skin, redness, small bumps, and itching. Treatment may involve avoiding the allergen that caused the rash, as well as using topical steroids, such as over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone.
• Bacterial Infections: The most common bacterial infection is impetigo, which is caused by staph or strep germs. It is more common in children than adults, and is contagious. The rash may appear as small blisters or scabs, with swollen glands nearby. Impetigo is not serious, and may go away on its own. If not, prescription antibiotic ointment or oral antibiotics will be prescribed.
• Viral Infections: Viral infections such as herpes, shingles, or chicken pox, are contagious conditions that may produce a rash, generally characterized by red, itchy bumps all over the body. Patients with vial rashes will usually have other viral symptoms such as nausea, sneezing, and coughing. These infections usually last a few days to a week and go away on their own. Treatment is generally not necessary, but may include cream for itch relief.
• Fungal Infections: Final infections affect the skin and often cause rashes. For more information, see the section of the website “Medical Conditions” and click the “Fungus” link.
• Skin Conditions: Other types of skin conditions such as acne, hives, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis, may also cause rashes. See the section of the website “Medical Conditions” for more information about these diseases.

Cosmocare offers prp therapy at 699 AED (5 sessions) in Dubai. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) or the vampire facelift is so called because your own blood is taken and after separation of different constituents, the plasma with the platelets is reinjected into the skin. PRP has a long history of being used in regenerative medicine, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery, and now its benefits are being applied to other fields of medicine such as dermatology and cosmetology as this plasma is rich in platelets (platelet-rich plasma or PRP) and it contains growth factors which stimulate skin regeneration.

Platelets has growth factors which release stem cells, increasing collagen formation, skin-tightening and overall rejuvenation. Due to all these benefits, it is also called ‘Facial Stem Cell Regeneration’ therapy. It also help to regenerate hair and make thinner hair thicker for the individuals who have lost hair and visible bald patch.

What is the fee for PRP therapy at Cosmocare Medical Center?

The PRP for hair loss procedure performed by Dr. Murtuza is accomplished in a manner quite different to that of other doctors. To begin with, Dr. Murtuza uses a special set of photographs to do his initial evaluation. These photos allow for a detailed pre- and post-procedure evaluation, so both the patient and doctor can assess the results. Then the blood draw and taken in sterile tube, which is then centrifuge to separate plasma from red blood cell. The entire region to be treated is then numbed using a local anesthetic. Although these initial injections are felt by the patient, most people find them very easily tolerated and the rest of the procedure is pain free to mild discomfort.

  Stem-cell Therapy + Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

How is the vampire facelift done?
This cutting-edge rejuvenation treatment is a quick 20-30 minute procedure. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a sterile tube. Collected blood is spun down in a centrifuge at a pre-calculated speed for 8 to 10 minutes to separate the different components of the blood.

Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of precious platelets, nearly fivefold. The separated platelets are then activated with calcium chloride, to release more growth factors.

Local anaesthesia is given and the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the appropriate areas with very small needles.

Who should get it done?

The treatment is ideal for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone and colour with minimal downtime. The results give you a fresher and healthier appearance.

It done for hair over the scalp, makes remarkable improvement increasing density of hair. It can be used on all skin types and colours. It helps eliminating skin wrinkles, rejuvenating the skin, improves the appearance in those with acne scarring, and hastens the healing process after a facial peel. It also appeals to patients who are looking for a natural approach to volumise the face.

Common areas where it is used include sun-damaged and prematurely aged skin on cheeks and mid-face, jaw line, sagging skin on the neck, back of the hands and décolletage.

For best results, up to four treatments, 4-8 weeks apart, with top ups at around 12 months are recommended. Improvement in the skin texture is noticeable within the first month while full collagen regeneration takes 3 months. The improvements continue over the next 12 months, as new collagen production continues to improve the overall appearance of the dermis. The effects last for a variable period ranging from 18 months to 2 years.

Are there any side-effects of vampire facelift?

Because this filler is made from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk for rejection, infection, or an allergic reaction. The skin might appear slightly sunburnt for up to 48 hours with little or no associated discomfort. Mild swelling which may last for 3-7 days, redness, or bruising fade within 1-3 days are uncommon. Applying cold compresses and elevating your head can minimise any swelling and bruising. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments.

After the treatment, it is important to keep the skin thoroughly hydrated and to apply a 30 SPF (or greater) sunscreen multiple times a day.

How much does the vampire facelift cost?

It is priced between AED 700 to 1500 for a session. PRP therapy can be combined with laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and fillers to best target a patient’s unique issues and thus achieve the final goal of younger-looking skin.

What is PRP treatment for hair?

PRP therapy for hair regrowth involves drawing out one’s own blood and centrifuging it so that the plasma with platelets collects in the tube. This plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is very useful in tissue regeneration and healing.  It is then injected on the scalp or rubbed on the scalp after performing a dermaroller treatment in the areas which suffer from hair loss.

Who should opt for PRP for Hair?

People who have thinning hair, and those with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern of baldness – hair loss at the top of the scalp and a receding hairline particularly along the temples), women with diffuse loss of hair & women pattern of hair loss can all benefit from it.

The treatment requires about eight sittings, each two weeks apart for best results. Along with it, one may have to apply medication like minoxidil.

Expected results

Patients will soon see a fuzz of hair after the fourth sitting. The treatment not only promotes hair growth but also strengthens hair follicles. It is quite a safe procedure without any side-effects. Since it involves drawing out blood and multiple needle pricks, it may seem uncomfortable and scary but a numbing cream is used prior to the procedure to reduce the discomfort.

Who can’t opt for PRP?

Though PRP treatment yields great results for people suffering from hair loss, it’s not for everyone.  People who have lost all hair cannot undergo this treatment as it does not help grow new hair on a bald patch. It can only make the existing thinning hair thicker by strengthening the hair follicles.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the second most-common skin cancer (Basal Cell being the most), affecting more than 250,000 Americans each year.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a major type of cancer that arises from the superficial layer (epidermis) of the skin and mucous membranes and occurs most commonly on areas exposed to the sun. When identified early and treatment promptly, SCCs are not serious. However, if overlooked, they are harder to treat and can cause disfigurement. While 96-97% of SCCs are localized, the small percentage of remaining cases can penetrate, destroy underlying tissue and spread to distant organs (metastasize) and become life-threatening.

Chronic sun exposure is the leading cause of squamous cell carcinoma, especially in people with fair skin, light hair and blue, green or grey eyes.

Other factors which may contribute to the development of this type of cancer include burns, scars, exposure to radiation or chemicals, chronic inflammatory conditions and immuno-suppression. Although less likely to develop than in fair-skinned individuals, squamous cell carcinoma may occur in dark-skinned people, especially at sites of pre-existing inflammatory conditions or burns.

Signs which may indicate the presence of a squamous cell carcinoma include scaly red patches, elevated growth with central depression, wart-like growths, nodules and open sores. All of these types of lesions may develop a crusted surface or bleed.

After a biopsy has been taken and the diagnosis confirmed microscopically by a dermatopathologist, treatment is required. Several effective methods are available to treat this tumor. The choice of therapy depends on the size, location, depth of penetration and type of squamous cell carcinoma encountered. The patient’s age and general health are also taken into consideration. The more common treatment options include excisional surgery, electrosurgery, radiation therapy and Mohs surgery.

When properly treated the cure rate for squamous cell carcinoma is approximately 95%.

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. Even so, if diagnosed and removed while it is still thin and limited to the outermost skin layer, it is almost 100% curable. Once the cancer advances and metastasizes (spreads) to other parts of the body, it is hard to treat and can be deadly. During the past 10 years, the number of cases of melanoma has increased more rapidly than that of any other cancer. Over 51,000 new cases are reported to the American Cancer Society each year, and it is probable that a great many more occur and are not reported.

What is melanoma?
The answer to the question asked by patients, their families, and other concerned people is that melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. To reach a more complete understanding, it is necessary to learn how the cells in the body become malignant.

The Origin of Melanoma
Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates in melanocytes, the cells which produce the pigment melanin that colors our skin, hair, and eyes and is heavily concentrated in most moles. The majority of melanomas, therefore, are black or brown. However, melanomas occasionally stop producing pigment. When that happens, the melanomas may no longer be dark, but are skin-colored, pink, red, or purple.

Some Are More Dangerous
The physician will tell you whether the melanoma is early or advanced by describing it as either in situ or invasive. “In situ” is Latin and means “in one site” or “localized.” Melanomas in situ occupy only the uppermost part of the epidermis, the top layers of the skin.

Invasive melanomas are the more serious, as they have penetrated more deeply into the skin and may have traveled from the original tumor through the body.

The Four Basic Types

• Superficial spreading melanoma is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. As you might expect, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply. The first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue, or white. Sometimes an older mole will change in these ways, or a new one will arise. The melanoma can be seen almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both. Most melanomas found in the young are of the superficial spreading type.
• Lentigo maligna is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown, or dark brown discoloration. This type of in situ melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms, and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii.Lentigo maligna melanoma is the invasive form.
• The third type of melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. This type of melanoma is sometimes found in dark-skinned people. It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.
• Unlike the other three types, nodular melanoma, is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. The color is most often black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red, or skin tone. The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.

What treatment is available?
The best treatment is early detection. A quick look from the trained eye of a dermatologist can confirm whether or not a lesion is suspicious for melanoma. If so, the next step is to perform a biopsy. The area is made numb, and a portion, or the entire lesion is removed for examination under the microscope. This simple, quick procedure is performed in the dermatologist’s office. If a melanoma is detected, treatment is guided by how deep in the skin the melanoma is.

Dysplastic nevi, also known as atypical moles, are unusual benign moles that may resemble melanoma. People who have them are at an increased risk of melanoma. The larger the number of atypical moles, the greater the risk. Individuals with 10 or more of them have 12 times the risk of developing melanoma as members of the general public.

Heredity plays a part, and people with a family history of melanoma (two or more close blood relatives) as well as atypical moles are at the highest risk. However, those with atypical moles and no family history still have a 7 to 27 times higher risk than the general public.

The classic atypical mole syndrome has the following characteristics:

• 100 or more moles
• One or more moles greater than 8mm (1/3 inch) or larger in diameter
• One or more moles that look atypical

Normal Moles Vs. Dysplastic Nevi The average young adult has about 10-20 normal moles or growths.

Generally, normal moles have the following characteristics:

• Shape: symmetrical, round, or oval
• Border: regular, sharp, and well-defined
• Color: usually tan, brown, or skin color
• Diameter: usually 6 mm (1/4 inch) or smaller — about the size of a pencil eraser
• Location: often concentrated on sun-exposed areas, such as the face, trunk, arms and legs.
• Onset: early childhood through age 40
• Uniformity: resemble one another

Even normal moles increase the likelihood of malignancy, provided they are numerous. The greater the total number of moles on the body, the greater the overall danger of melanoma.

Dysplastic Nevi Vs. Melanoma

It is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between dysplastic nevi and melanoma. A mole that appears suspicious–changes in size, shape or color–or if a new mole appears after 40, the doctor will remove the entire mole or a part of it for microscopic examination. Sometimes a melanoma begins within a dysplastic nevus.

Sometimes, melanomas will begin within the mole itself.

Dysplastic nevi usually have the following characteristics:

• Shape: asymmetrical; a line drawn through the middle would not create matching halves
• Border: irregular or poorly defined
• Color: variation with shades of tan, brown, dark brown, or black, or mixed
• Diameter: generally but not always larger than 6 mm
• Location: most commonly on the back, chest, abdomen, extremities and scalp; may also occur on normally unexposed areas such as buttocks, groin or female breasts
• Growth: enlargement of a previously stable mole or appearance of a new mole after age 40 should raise suspicion
• Surface: central portion is flat to slightly raised
• Appearance: greatly varied; dysplastic nevi often look different from one another
• Number: from a few to well over 100

More Serious Warning Signs Some dysplastic nevi display more serious warning signs of melanoma: itching, elevation, crusting, oozing, a bluish-black color, pain, bleeding, swelling and ulceration. If any of these warning signs appear on your own skin or that of a friend or family member, consult a dermatologist right away. It could be the first sign of skin cancer.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of cancer, with about one million new cases estimated in the U.S. each year. Not only is it the most common skin cancer, but it is the most common of all types of cancer. One in four Americans are likely to develop a basal cell carcinoma.

Basal cells line the deepest layer of epidermis. The growths are malignant tumors that arise in this layer of skin. BCCs occur most frequently on sun-exposed regions of the body. Although this skin cancer rarely spreads to other organs of the body (i.e., metastasizes), it can cause destruction of surrounding tissue. However, 5-10% of BCCs can be resistant to treatment or be locally aggressive, which damages the skin around them and sometimes invades bone and cartilage beneath. When not treated quickly, they can be difficult to eliminate. Thus early detection and treatment are needed.

Most Basal cell carcinomas are caused by chronic sun exposure, especially in people with fair skin, light hair and blue, green or grey eyes. In a few instances, there are other contributing factors such as burns, exposure to radiation, arsenical intoxication and stasis dermatitis of the legs.

Basal cell carcinoma may have several different appearances on your skin. Some warning signs that may indicate basal cell carcinoma are an open sore, a reddish patch, a growth with an elevated border and a central indentation, a bump or nodule and a scar-like area.

After a biopsy has been taken and the diagnosis confirmed by a dermatopathologist, treatment is required. Several effective methods are available to treat this tumor. The choice of therapy depends on the size, location and subtype of the basal cell carcinoma encountered. The patient’s age and general health are also taken into consideration. The more common treatment options include excisional surgery, electrosurgery, radiation therapy and Mohs surgery.

Actinic Keratosis and Precancerous growths:
The term “precancerous” is used because these abnormal areas of skin are more likely to turn malignant than healthy skin. Precancerous growths (lesions) are visible to the naked eye, and they look different from normal cells when examined under a microscope. They are important to recognize, because they are a warning sign of potential skin cancer.

Actinic keratoses (AKs) are rough, dry and scaly patches of skin that develop on the outermost layer of the skin after years of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Often they feel like sandpaper or crusts of dry skin. These lesions typically range in color from skin-toned to reddish brown and in size from that of a pinhead to larger than a quarter. Occasionally, a lesion has a rapid upward growth and resembles an animal horn and is called a “cutaneous horn.”

A dermatologist should evaluate anyone who is suspicious that may have developed AKs. These lesions are considered to be the earliest stage in the development of skin cancer and can progress to squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can be fatal. Having AKs makes one more susceptible to other forms of skin cancer, including melanoma. Melanoma is considered the most lethal form of skin cancer because it can rapidly spread to the lymph system and internal organs.

AKs are most likely to appear on the face, lips, ears, scalp, neck, backs of the hands and forearms, shoulders and back — the parts of the body most often exposed to sunshine.

AKs usually appear after age 40 because they take years to develop. However, even teens can have AKs when they live in areas that receive high-intensity sunlight year round, such as Florida and Southern California.

Millions of Americans have AKs, and the number continues to grow. In fact, AKs are so common today that treatment for these lesions ranks as one of the most frequent reasons people consult a dermatologist.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 500,000 new cases are reported each year—and the incidence is rising faster than any other type of cancer. While skin cancers can be found on any part of the body, about 80 percent appear on the face, head, or neck, where they can be disfiguring as well as dangerous.

Who gets skin cancer …and why The primary cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation—most often from the sun, but also from artificial sources like sunlamps and tanning booths. In fact, researchers believe that our quest for the perfect tan, an increase in outdoor activities, and perhaps the thinning of the earth’s protective ozone layer are behind the alarming rise we’re now seeing in skin cancers.

Anyone can get skin cancer—no matter what your skin type, race or age, no matter where you live or what you do.

But your risk is greater if…

• Your skin is fair and freckles easily.
• You have light-colored hair and eyes.
• You have a large number of moles, or moles of unusual size or shape.
• You have a family history of skin cancer or a personal history of blistering sunburn.
• You spend a lot of time working or playing outdoors.
• You live closer to the equator, at a higher altitude, or in any place that gets intense, year-round sunshine.
• You received therapeutic radiation treatments for adolescent acne.

Types of skin cancer
By far the most common type of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma. Fortunately, it’s also the least dangerous kind—it tends to grow slowly and rarely spreads beyond its original site. Though basal cell carcinoma is seldom life threatening, if left untreated it can grow deep beneath the skin and into the underlying tissue and bone, causing serious damage (particularly if it’s located near the eye).

Squamous cell carcinoma is the next most common kind of skin cancer, frequently appearing on the lips, face, or ears. It sometimes spreads to distant sites, including lymph nodes and internal organs. Squamous cell carcinoma can become life threatening if it’s not treated.

A third form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, is the least common, but its incidence is increasing rapidly, especially in the Sunbelt states. Malignant melanoma is also the most dangerous type of skin cancer. If discovered early enough, it can be completely cured. If it’s not treated quickly, however, malignant melanoma may spread throughout the body and is often deadly.

Other skin growths you should know about Two other common types of skin growths are moles and keratoses.

Moles are clusters of heavily pigmented skin cells, either flat or raised above the skin surface. While most pose no danger, some—particularly large moles present at birth—or those with mottled colors and poorly defined borders—may develop into malignant melanoma. Moles are frequently removed for cosmetic reasons, or because they’re constantly irritated by clothing or jewelry (which can sometimes cause pre-cancerous changes).

Solar or actinic keratoses are rough, red or brown, scaly patches on the skin. They are usually found on areas exposed to the sun, and sometimes develop into squamous cell cancer.

Recognizing skin cancer Basal and squamous cell carcinomas can vary widely in appearance. The cancer may begin as small, white or pink nodule or bumps; it can be smooth and shiny, waxy, or pitted on the surface. Or it might appear as a red spot that’s rough, dry, or scaly; a firm, red lump that may form a crust; a crusted group of nodules; a sore that bleeds or doesn’t heal after two to four weeks; or a white patch that looks like scar tissue.

Malignant melanoma is usually signaled by a change in the size, shape, or color of an existing mole, or as a new growth on normal skin.

Watch for the “ABCD” warning signs of melanoma:

• Asymmetry—a growth with unmatched halves
• Border irregularity—ragged or blurred edges
• Color—a mottled appearance, with shades of tan, brown, and black, sometimes mixed with red, white, or blue
• Diameter—a growth more than 6 millimeters across (about the size of a pencil eraser), or any unusual increase in size.

If all these variables sound confusing, the most important thing to remember is this: Get to know your skin and examine it regularly, from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. (Don’t forget your back.) If you notice any unusual changes on any part of your body, have a doctor check it out.

Diagnosis and treatment
Skin cancer is diagnosed by removing all or part of the growth and examining its cells under a microscope. It can be treated by a number of methods, depending on the type of cancer, its stage of growth, and its location on your body. Small skin cancers can often be excised quickly and easily in our office.

Most skin cancers are removed surgically, by a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist. If the cancer is small, the procedure can be done quickly and easily, in an outpatient facility or the physician’s office, using local anesthesia. The procedure may be a simple excision, which usually leaves a thin, barely visible scar. Or curettage and desiccation may be performed. In this procedure the cancer is scraped out with an electric current to control bleeding and kill any remaining cancer cells. This leaves a slightly larger, white scar. In either case, the risks accompanying surgery are low.

If the cancer is large, however, or if it has spread to the lymph glands or elsewhere in the body, major surgery may be required. Other possible treatments for skin cancer include cryosurgery (freezing the cancer cells), radiation therapy (using x-rays), topical chemotherapy (anti-cancer drugs applied to the skin), and Mohs surgery, a special procedure in which the cancer is shaved off one layer at a time. Mohs surgery is performed only by specially trained physicians and often requires a reconstructive procedure as follow-up.
