What is the role of Leech in curing eczematous skin diseases?(are used as part of Ayurvedic therapy.)?


Personally seen one case of Chronic eczema,not getting any relief with steroids and all others,(only to temporary remissions of2-3 months).But when undergone Panchakarma with applying Leech over diseased area in 4-5 seatings,he has magically improved with no relapse since last 5 years.What could be the exact mechanism,is there any chemical invoved or role of immunity?
----------

leeches have good sucking power while injecting an enzyme that does not let the blood clot. The enzyme dissolves any other materil around the place where the leech is sucking the blood out.This may have helped to suck out the eczema causing material to move out from under neath the cell area to the blood stream sucked in by the leech.You may find it intriguing that medicine has not yet understood the disease of excezema fully as yet.Except of course that it is triggered by certain chemical agents.  (+ info)

skin diseases?


this is a skin related question. what is something that pops up like chicken pox but its not, it has a crusty thin white scab. when you scrap the top off it is red underneath? ointment is not helping.also this just came up after my husband's surgery.
----------

This sounds exactly like what I have! And I do have Psoriasis. The ointment will not help. There is a special cream your doctor will need to prescribe if he truely does have psoriasis but it costs about $150 per tube (depending on strength and size of tube). Psoriasis is nothing to worry about though. I have read somewhere that it means the body's immune system is down and that for some reason it thinks the skin has had a wound and tries to heal the wound that was never even there.

Im a microbiologist; like to start my research on skin diseases. Please give me some advise for research plan


I like to work on molecular bio field on skin diseases. I can get samples not a problem; but i have to prepare abstract and give my work plan, primers, probes etc. I dont know how to start, how to plan, etc. please need suggestions.
----------

It sounds like you don't have a specific research goal, just a general field. Since research happens due to grant funding, you have to know the standard format used by the granting agency/group. I'm working with a doctoral candidate for put together a PAH research project to be funded by the EPA. So, the plan will be put in the format they use for environmental evaluations.

Check out the link below and that will give you some idea of funding opportunities and some idea as to format. Rather than trying to generate your own idea, perhaps start first with answering a question posed by one of the grants.

I hope this answers your question.  (+ info)

Why does google images only show the most severe/extreme pics of skin diseases?


I am talking mainly about Rosacea and Lupus (the skin rash symptoms). I don't find this particularly useful or helpful in trying to gain a broader insight into these conditions. It doesn't represent the varying degrees of severity of these conditions for which there are many. Does anyone else agree?
----------

I agree, I think they want you to know the worst case scenerio,,but it doesn't help with what you want..  (+ info)

Can Veet cause any cancer or skin diseases?


I used it on a small circle on my leg and it actually worked. Now I read on here that someone said that you can get cancer or diseases from it. I wouldn't think so, though. Is it true?

By the way, does it work for you? I've never shaved or anything and removed some, so I wanna know if when it grows back, will it still remove the hair?
