Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types01:20

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles

Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...
Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...
Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...
Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
Muscles of the Eye01:20

Muscles of the Eye

The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and rotating...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Aesthetic Procedures

Background:

  • Eyebrow threading is a popular method for eyebrow shaping.
  • Dermatological complications associated with threading are documented but not extensively.
  • Limited data exists on molluscum contagiosum specifically in the eyebrow region post-threading.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a series of patients developing molluscum contagiosum in the eyebrow area after threading.
  • To highlight the occurrence of this condition in males, a demographic not previously emphasized in similar reports.
  • To increase awareness among healthcare professionals and the public regarding potential hazards of eyebrow threading.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series.
  • Inclusion of eight patients (3 males, 5 females) presenting with eyebrow lesions after threading.
  • Clinical observation and documentation of molluscum contagiosum in the eyebrow region.

Main Results:

  • Eight patients developed molluscum contagiosum lesions in their eyebrows following threading sessions.
  • This series includes the first reported cases of molluscum contagiosum in males linked to eyebrow threading.
  • Lesions appeared in the direct line of threading in the eyebrow region.

Conclusions:

  • Eyebrow threading, even in beauty salons, may pose a risk for transmission of molluscum contagiosum.
  • The findings underscore the importance of hygiene and sterile practices during cosmetic procedures.
  • Increased awareness is needed for dermatologists and the general population about this potential complication.
