The Skin Microbiota01:27

The Skin Microbiota

98
The human skin serves as a complex ecosystem inhabited by a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining skin health and defending against pathogenic invaders. The composition of microbial communities varies significantly across different regions of the body, influenced primarily by the local levels of moisture and sebum.Regional Variation in Skin MicrobiotaCutibacterium acnes predominantly colonizes sebaceous...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

78
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Staphylococcal Skin Infections01:29

Staphylococcal Skin Infections

118
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that resides harmlessly on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy individuals. When the skin barrier is breached, it can shift from a commensal to an opportunistic pathogen. This transition is facilitated by surface adhesins, such as clumping factor B and S. aureus surface protein G (SasG), which bind to structural proteins, including loricrin and cytokeratin, in the damaged epidermis. Protein A, another key factor, binds the Fc region of...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.3K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.9K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.8K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Herbal Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Garlic (Allium sativum) is a widely recognized herbal remedy with significant biological properties, particularly as an antioxidant.
  • It is extensively researched and commonly used for various health issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile and synthesize findings from dermatologic-focused in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies on garlic preparations.
  • To assess the current evidence for garlic's efficacy in skin health and disease treatment.

Main Methods:

  • An extensive literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies.
  • Twenty-three studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Oral garlic administration demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing immunologic properties, improving cutaneous microcirculation, providing UVB protection, and aiding cancer treatment.
  • Topical garlic extract showed potential benefits for psoriasis, alopecia areata, keloid scars, wound healing, cutaneous corns, viral and fungal infections, leishmaniasis, and skin aging/rejuvenation.

Conclusions:

  • Garlic exhibits promising dermatologic applications, both systemically and topically.
  • However, the clinical effectiveness of oral and topical garlic extract requires more thorough and meticulous investigation.
