Acne Treatment acne treatment Acne Scars Removal Treatment of acne scars is most effective if skin regeneration is triggered and "accelerated" while scars are still in the process of healing and connective tissues have not yet replaced normal and softer collagen skin fibers... acne scars treatment Testimonials I have been using Elicina for about 3 weeks and have seen a dramatic change in the appearance of my skin. I use it mainly for old acne scars. I have had acne since I was twelve and used Accutane® which helped but the acne scars have been there for twenty years. Until now, I have found a miracle cream that reduces the pock marks, pitts, ice pick scars, and evens my skin tone. I know the process maybe slow for older scars but what can you expect from a product made from snails. Ha!ha! I will continue to use Elicina as my skin gets better everyday. Patrick Chua. CA, USA. Order ID# 316167 I have had outstanding results from this product. I had bad acne for many, many years.

Go to PDF Version Varicella (Chicken Pox) Chicken pox (Varicella) is a highly communicable viral disease that occurs most often during the winter and spring. Once you have had chicken pox, you are usually immune to it. However, if you have never had the disease, you can get it at any age. SYMPTOMS If you have chicken pox, you may have a slight fever and cold-like symptoms. However, you may not realize that you have the disease until you notice a red rash on your face, trunk, scalp, or in your mouth. Later, you may find lesions on your arms and legs. Your rash will go through three stages: initially, it will be a red spot, next a blister (vesicle), and finally a scab. You may have "old" spots that are healing and "new" spots that are just beginning to blister. Your rash will probably itch. In fact, it may begin to itch before you notice the rash. Scratching your lesions can lead to infection and the development of crater-like scars. After your lesions have healed, you may notice "red spots." These spots are not scars and will fade within a few weeks. HOW IS CHICKEN POX SPREAD?

9. Rosemary Appleton's Report On Experiencing An Attack Of Shingles (the Chicken Po Rosemary Appleton's report on experiencing an attack of Shingles (the chicken pox herpes zoster virus). http://www.demonshand.com

Rosemary Appleton's report on experiencing an attack of Shingles (the chicken pox varicella herpes zoster virus). Have you ever been grabbed by a burning demon in your face? I have. It's called "Shingles". Shingles is a disease that strikes more then a half-million Americans every year. Since it took three days of blinding pain for someone in the medical profession to recognize what I had, I thought I better use my website skills to publish my information. There is a theory that the sooner you start taking antivirus medication like Acyclovir or Famvir you lessen your chances of having lasting pain from nerve damage, post herpetic neuralgia (PHN), which I have had now for almost two years. And now after 2 1/2 years I have a secondary condition called Bullous Pemphigoid. September 10th, 2002: I went to my dentist for throbbing pain in my upper jaw and nose with blisters next to my nose. He said it was not my teeth - maybe a sinus infection. He gave me a prescription for 250 mg Ampicillin. I went to my primary physician, he said it looked a little like a virus but gave me a prescription for CIPRO 500 mg and a decongestant Deconamine. The Ampicillin, Cipro and decongestant did not do any good. By this time I have blisters that looked like someone burned me with a cigarette up the side of my nose and across the top of my right cheek. September 11th: Pain has increased by an order of magnitude. My primary physician told me to go to the emergency room. A friend takes me to Plantation General Hospital because I can't drive myself anymore. One of the physicians, Dr. Carol Lieverman takes one look at the pattern of the blisters and recognizes that it is shingles. Thank you Dr. Carol. Plantation General gives me prescriptions for Famvir 500 mg to treat the virus and Vicodin 500 mg for pain. Also, I am instructed to go to an Ophthalmologist because the shingles are around my eye. So I went to my ophthalmologist, Dr. Tobe Rubin, and get steroid eye drops and Bacitracin ophthalmic salve. She said the virus is not in my eye at this time. For a few nights I had some white stuff caked in my mouth. I brushed it out with peroxide and water.

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Chicken pox vaccine loses a substantial amount of its effectiveness in the first year after it is administered but overall remains very protective up to eight years, a study said on Tuesday. The vaccine, which uses a live but weakened virus, was developed in 1974 and has been approved in the United States since 1995. It is recommended for healthy children at 12 to 18 months. Doctors at the Yale University School of Medicine said a look at 339 children found the effectiveness of the vaccine declines from 99 percent in the first year to 84 percent in years two through eight. The report, published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, rated that level of protection as excellent.

Chicken pox is a common disease caused by the varicella zoster virus which is a member of the herpes virus family. It is very contagious and usually occurs during childhood. Adults can get the disease if they did not have it in childhood. What are the symptoms? Chicken pox most often begins with a slight fever, body aches and loss of appetite. Within 1-2 days, the rash appears usually starting on the chest or back. Initially the rash begins as red spots which then rapidly form blisters and spreads to the rest of the body. The blisters open and form a crust or scab within a few days. The rash can continue to break out for 4-5 days as older lesions crust and heal. Itching can accompany the rash along with fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat and general body aches. It is unusual to have chicken pox more than once. Is chicken pox contagious? Chicken pox is contagious through direct contact with the fluid in the blisters and by airborne droplets that are inhaled. Incubation period is 7-21 days. A person is contagious from 1-2 days before the rash appears and until all the lesions form crusts.

Though the varicella vaccine, which prevents chicken pox, has been available in the United States for five years, chicken pox remains a common childhood disease. Because the vaccine is fairly new, many parents may be confused or concerned about it, while others simply don't know it exists. "Perhaps only a third of children of a year-and-a-half and 3 years of age are receiving the vaccine of any overall basis," said pediatrician Cody Meissner.

20. Chickenpox (Varicella) Factsheet with signs and symptoms, prevetion, diagnosis, treatment, and complications. http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/chicken_pox.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Chickenpox is a common disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is part of the herpesvirus family. Although many people associate the word herpes with genital herpes, the herpesvirus family is made up of nearly 100 kinds of viruses, eight of which cause disease in humans. Examples of different herpesviruses are herpes simplex virus (which causes cold sores and genital herpes infections), Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis), and varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles). Varicella-zoster virus spreads in the air through coughs or sneezes or through contact with fluid from inside the chickenpox blisters. Chickenp ox, which occurs most often in the late winter and early spring, is very contagious - if exposed to an infected family member, about 80% to 90% of those in a household who haven't had chickenpox will get it. However, immunization of children with the chickenpox vaccine that's now available is expected to decrease cases of the disease dramatically over the next few years. Although it's more common in kids under the age of 15, anyone can get chickenpox. A person usually has only one episode of chickenpox in his or her lifetime. But the virus that causes chickenpox can lie dormant within the body and can cause a different type of skin eruption later in life called shingles, also referred to as herpes-zoster.
