Eighty percent are basal-cell carcinoma, 16 percent are squamous-cell carcinoma and 4 percent are melanomas. Based on advertising and information from a variety of sources, including health care professionals, many think that sunscreen use is protective against melanoma, which is stated to be directly linked to sun exposure. What do you and your patients think about this subject?

The term eczema encompasses a number of red, itchy skin conditions. Eczema may appear as a dry, scaly rash or weepy, oozing blisters. It is a type of dermatitis that literally means "inflamed skin." Chronic eczema causes dry, red, flaky patches on the skin, most frequently involving the face, neck, scalp, arms, elbows, wrists, and knees. Overall, eczema is estimated to affect up 20 percent of Americans.

The normal growth and development of skin cells is also dependent upon the influence of bioactive agents that promote epithelial cell maturation and differentiation to fully developed adult cells.
