The most common skin diseases, eczema, psoriasis and skin cysts occur more frequently, not after the fifties. People who already have been affected by such diseases can continue having them and those who have been lucky not having suffered either have more risks. But, conversely, the aging of the epidermis involves small dermatitis without gravity. May occur, for example, actinic keratosis is a skin lesion in the form of red dry plates in the body parts most exposed to the sun, especially the face, neck and hands and is very common, particularly in more sixty years. Although usually benign, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.

Also, although the aging skin becomes less fat and drier, it can happen that some hypertrophies sebaceous glands and lead to the formation of small pearl colored white lesions that are safe and that your dermatologist can be deleted without problem.

Are these little disease prevention? Do you have a beneficial effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or water cure spas?

A balanced diet rich in natural antioxidants, legumes, fruits, olive oil, fish-which fights free radicals, helps to slow the aging of the skin. This is a body 'hormone dependent' and therefore the menopause, to cease production of progesterone and estrogen, has implications skin. Some of these alterations can be corrected by HRT. Among other effects, enables the dermis thickness regain and recover certain elasticity. Follow this hormonal treatment or not is a decision that should take three: the patient, the doctor and dermatologist.

The other spa treatments can be effective for the skin. This, to become drier, has a tendency to itch and become irritated. The treatment centers specializing in the skin may actually contribute to improving their status and for a time suppress the feeling of irritation and tension.

What other minor discomfort may occur?
Appear more frequency small warts usually around the neck, armpits or body folds and very easily removed with a mild painless surgery almost no health hazard. They are sometimes confused with other small warts, the kind that are transmitted by the pool, but these are increasingly rare after fifty.

Some women were developed between fifty and sixty years an excessive hairiness in the chin or upper lip. Can be removed using two techniques. On the one hand, the laser, which slows its reappearance on the other, epilating, which is final. The latter requires several sessions, but neither is a painful remedy. For epilating, can be applied if necessary a cream with numbing effect.

Is the skin of older men in the same way as the women?
For men is a little different. Their skin contains many hormone receptors, particularly testosterone. Therefore it is thicker, rich in collagen fibers and, therefore, it is better equipped against aging. Furthermore, it appears that at the time of andropause, hormonal variations have less impact on the embrittlement of the skin, its elasticity and thickness.

Generally, men consult a dermatologist for two main reasons: the onset of baldness and folliculate of the beard. The latter is an inflammation of hair follicles to get a hair eruptions produced by topical treatments (antiseptic, anti-inflammatory or drying) disappear without much difficulty.

Vitiligo is a disease characterized by destruction of cells producing the pigment that gives color to the skin (melanin), and although not serious psychological problems leads to unsightly due to the nature of their injuries, especially in people with dark skin.This condition, also known as leukoderma, is more common than you think (more than 1% of the world population suffers from it), and although it can occur at any age, is more common before age 20 or after 50. It is believed to affect more women by the number of reported cases, but now we know that men take the lead, they only delay the visit to the doctor and, therefore, the implementation of a white patches treatment.

The vitiligo spots have clear borders, are white and community located on the face, armpits, nipples, genital areas, back of hands and around nails, elbows, knees, ankles and back. Interestingly, they are usually symmetrical and often increase in size and number, which means they can come together. In addition, the hairs that grow in these spots are white (poliosis).

Types and Origins
As with many other chronic diseases, it is unknown what causes the leukoderma, but according to medical observations has been found some possible causes that trigger it:
* Immune. We have found an association between vitiligo and diseases caused by immune disorders, which raises the hypothesis that, because of disorder in the defenses, the body creates antibodies against melanocytes (melanin producing cells).
* Autonomic. It rests on the belief that certain substances used by the brain to exchange information (neurotransmitters) affect the production of pigment.
* Genetic. Some dermatologists have found a relationship inherited, although recent studies show that only 20% of patients with vitiligo have a relative with the disease.
* Psychosomatics. It was noted that an intense emotion or stress alter the formation of melanocyte-stimulating hormones, and in many such patients, after therapy, which exceeded by concern for their appearance in a few years to regenerate pigment, recovering the normal skin color.

On the other hand, vitiligo can be considered, based on its size and location, such as:
* Stable. When spots do not move or improve with conventional treatments.
* Located. If the discoloration is present in a particular area of the body and has no good response to treatment of re-pigmentation.
* Generalized. If the spots appear all over the body.
* Universal. When it has spread almost all tissue and areas of white patches are more extensive than those of normal skin. In this case reaches even recommend de-pigmentation.

Vitiligo Treatments
While there is no definitive cure or a medical procedure or specific only for this disease, it is certain that the affected person should always go to a dermatologist to establish its status as the evolution of this disease without treatment is unpredictable: some patients are bleached completely, others remain unchanged and in a few more spots disappear on their own.

In addition, we know of cases where there is an association between leukoderma and other conditions such as diabetes, Addison's disease (when the adrenal glands, located at the end of each kidney, are unable to produce enough corticosteroid hormones), anemia or severe abnormalities of the thyroid gland, so prompt medical diagnosis is highly recommended to determine if the problem exists only in the skin or in addition you have another condition.

The most common therapies aim to restore the pigment to expose the skin to ultraviolet radiation, are based on medicines that promote the generation of melanin (corticosteroids, psoralens) or, conversely, destroy the pigment in nearby areas, in order to decrease the contrast between affected and healthy skin. In some cases, are used for skin grafts.

However, the treatment of leukoderma is still difficult and different for every situation, because we must consider the date on which began to manifest, extent and location of the spots, as well as severity and activity related diseases present. In most cases it is recommended that the patient counseling, since any result is long term.
