It happens when an injury crushes small blood vessels but does not break the skin. Those vessels break open and leak blood under the skin. Most bruises are not a cause for concern and will go away on their own. Home treatment may speed healing and relieve the swelling and soreness that often accompany bruises that are caused by injury. However, severe bruising, swelling, and pain that begin within 30 minutes of an injury may mean a more serious problem, such as a severe sprain or fracture. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-is-Bruises-and-Treatment-of-Bruises/150113 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/What-is-Bruises-and-Treatment-of-Bruises/150113 Vitiligo or leukoderma is a chronic skin condition that causes loss of pigment, resulting in irregular pale patches of skin. The disease has been around for thousands of years. Vitiligo occurs in 1-2 per cent of the population. It affects both races and all ages. It is an acquired progressive disorder in which some or all of the melanocytes in the interfollicular epidermis, and occasionally those in the hair follicles, are selectively destroyed. Vitiligo usually starts as small areas of pigment loss that spread and become larger with time. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Vitiligo---Causes--Symptoms-and-Treatment/149472 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Vitiligo---Causes--Symptoms-and-Treatment/149472 Vitiligo is also known as 'leucoderma'. In India, it is called 'safed kod' or 'safed dag' and is considered as a social stigma. Vitiligo is appearance of single or multiple depigmented patches on any part of the body. These patches gradually increase in size and cause lot of psychological stress in the patient. It is an auto-immune condition and may have a genetic predisposition. Treatment of vitiligo usually takes a long time. Medical treatment helps arrest the spread of depigmentation and in some cases, may bring back the pigmentation. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Information-on-Vitiligo/149467 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Information-on-Vitiligo/149467 Lubricant - When you increase your mileage all other efforts may fail. It is time for real preventative. There are a variety of lubricants on the market. They are readily available at most running stores. Many people use petroleum jelly because it is inexpensive and easy to find. I don't really like the consistency, and find it doesn't stay on as well as many of the sports/running products. The Runners Lube that I use comes in a stick, goes on smoothly, stays on well, and a stick last forever. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Get-Treatment-of-Chafing/149395 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Get-Treatment-of-Chafing/149395 Freckles are among the many signs of photo aging. Photo aging occurs when excessive sun exposure speeds the skin's natural aging process. Sunlight also causes freckles already present to become darker.

Sun exposure is also powerful enough to change certain skin cells into dangerous skin cancers, leading physicians to recommend protective sunscreen and clothing. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-treat-Freckles/149244 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-treat-Freckles/149244 Hives for the most part are more annoying than they are dangerous.
